Manic Monday Math Freebies

Let's be honest as teachers we all love to find a great freebie or bargain.  We want the best for our students but times are tough and so we beg, borrow, and look for freebies. AM I RIGHT?  I posted tonight's freebie last year but wanted to re-post it because I moved it from google drive to my TPT store for more freebie seekers to enjoy.   You can read my previous post on simplifying math stations here and to scoop up your math freebies just click on the picture below.

A Fact Family of Feathers Turkey Craftivity

Here's wishing everyone a much needed break with family and friends.  Oh, and I don't know about you all but I am super excited about getting some new clip art at the Black Friday Sale.  Do I need clip art?  No but do I love clip art?  YES! YES! YES!  and Krista Wallden is my favorite but you probably already know that since I mention it in almost every post.  I will be doing a little online shopping on Friday but I have taken the vow once again to not shop on Thanksgiving, everyone deserves the day off to reflect and be thankful.

Manic Monday Veterans Day Freebies

Why does it seem like at times two weeks go by at once?  I can't BELIEVE it is already November 4th and Veterans Day is quickly approaching.  I for one do not feel like we do enough for the men and women who serve our country but we can educate the little ones we have in our company so that they respect and understand what our service members do for us each and every day of the year. 
 
Here are a few books you can use to help with that understanding......

http://www.amazon.com/Hero-Dad-Melinda-Hardin/dp/0761457135/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1383623669&sr=8-1&keywords=hero+dad
 
I thought since our service members give so much of themselves I should do a little giving as well .  So.........I put together  a pocket chart True & False Activity to help with a discussion on Veterans and Veterans Day.  You can pick it up for FREE by clicking on the picture.

Elephant and Piggie Craftivity , a Math Center Giveaway , and Digital Paper Half Off

I received the nicest comment a few days ago regarding my Elephant and Piggie Craftivity FREEBIE.  I was not only excited to hear the thank you from another teacher but it was also neat to hear about the great story that went with it.
 
TPT User:This activity just saved my life. dd's Discount donated 472 books to our school and every kindergarten class received 4 Piggie and Elephant books. I was trying to think of a cute thank you project for the store, and THIS IS PERFECT. Thank you!
 
 
Comments like these are the reason I started blogging!  I love to share the things I make for my own classroom knowing they are helping another teacher save time and money.
