Nouns and Verbs Word Sort

This activity could be used on a pocket chart with a group, at a station/center, or both. I have uploaded this freebie to google drive. Enjoy and share some love if you like it.

Fairy Tale Craftivities

WHOOO HOOO !  I can't believe I finally finished a project I started last year during our Fairy Tale Unit.  I absolutely love teaching Fairy Tales and when I couldn't find a craftivity to go with fairy tales I decided well maybe I can do this myself.  I started with Goldilocks and  Papa Bear but this project mushroomed into a total of  9 crafts over the past year.  During the past two weeks my kitchen table has looked like Edward Scissorhands met craft central and my kids have asked "Will we ever eat at the kitchen table again?" Well the mess is gone and we are back to eating at the table once again and here's the end product............

   

Just a couple samples

         

My Fairy Tale Craftivities will be on sale  through Tuesday night.  You can snatch em up here. 

If you would like a chance to win a copy of this unit as always leave a comment and your e-mail address. I will pass along at least one copy of my Fairy Tale Craftivities. 

Comment Topic for Today

 Athough I sometimes don't care for facebook I do feel like it has its place.  I find myself checking out my favorites on there more than on blogs anymore,  it's just easy to scroll through during down time while waiting on appointments and such.  Let me know what you think. DO YOU FACEBOOK?   We have a facebook page but don't utilize it like we should, maybe that will change.

February Giveaways & a Sale

Ugh!  My New Year's resolution down the drain in less than a month.  I promised more post and it hasn't happened but I am like the Little Engine that Could, I am going to keep tryin. I don't know how all the wonderful bloggers of the world manage to do so much and still take care of a family because this gal obviously can't keep up.  I have however managed to put a few packs together for February between my mom and dads doctors visits, my great aunts stay in the hospital, and raising three very active kiddos of my own. 

 

Here's a sneak peek at the items I want to share with you and giveaway.

I have also included the following pics so you can get a better idea of my three favorite activities in this pack.  I love to make books with my students, I think it allows them to have more ownership over their work than just a worksheet.  It also is so much more open ended and gives me a better understanding of where they are develpmentally than either a right or wrong answer.  Please, please, please, don't get me wrong I think there's a time and a place for worksheets as you can see with some of the other items in this pack. 

  Here are the  giveaway rules!  Ha we only have 70 followers, there are no rules!  You can just leave a comment with the item you would like most and I will get back to you.  If no one responds you might get all three!  WOW trying to give something away is hard work. Come on teacher friends, "Help Me, Help You!"

 

 

Oh, shoot I forgot to say I'm also having a 20% off  sale on everything in my store until tomorrow night.  I was too busy getting ready to entertain great friends for the Super Bowl to have a sale yesterday! 

 

Happy Monday!
