Facebook Freebie hop

Hello wonderful friends! I hope your weekend has been amazing! I have been "iced" into my house since Thursday night. We have braved the roads once due to cabin fever and won'e be doing that again! School was cancelled on Friday and more than likely tomorrow as well. The temperatures are not going up and the ice ain't going no where!

For me, I absolutely love it! I can stay in my pajama's for days and make amazing products all day long! My husband on the other hand, not so much. Poor guy just can't sit still for very long.

Anyways, on to the point of my post!

That is right! My firstie friends and I are having ANOTHER freebie hop! If you participated in our Fall Freebie hop, you know it was amazing! This one has even more freebies!

Take a peek at my freebie. The kids search for words in the picture, circle them, read them, and write them down. This freebie includes Fry's 100 words. 4 pages are included with 1 list on each page (25 words). You're kids will love this!

Top 4 BEST SELLERS

Wanting: Nothing. I sat here trying to think of something I want then I realized, I don't want to have to try and think of something I want. I am happy. I am genuinely happy with everything I have. Yep. Blessed right here.

Needing: can I please just have a few more days off? Pretty please with sugar on top.

Favorite Tradition: my family is Danish and every Christmas we get together and make a Danish cookie called Kliener (klay-na). It's a yummy cookie that's great with coffee. And it's deep fried. How could it not be good?!

I can't believe December 1st already! Christmas will be here before we know it. I pray that you all enjoy the holidays with your family and remember the reason for the season!

Five for Friday

Well, I may be 2 days late, but I can't pass up "Five for Friday". I love sharing what I've been up to throughout the week, both at school and at home! Here we go!

Since Thanksgiving is almost here, we've been talking about how things were different then than they are now. The students are always so fascinated at how things have changed over time! Here is an example of the t-chart activity from my "Then and Now" unit. After reading about the different ways things were different, each group of students was given a t-chart with a certain topic. They had to draw and write a sentence of how things have change over time. Here is one on transportation.

If you are still in school next week for a few days before Thanksgiving, this is a fun unit to do! Grab it in my TpT store HERE!

These next couple of ones count as 2 and 3 because I have so many to share! Since Christmas is right around the corner, I have been loading lots of fun things for Winter time! Some are even freebies! Just click on the picture to be taken it on TpT! They will make any classroom fun during the holiday season!

Target is coming out with their Christmas candy and this is BAD news for my waistline!! But oh so good in my belly!

I have off all next week and I can't wait to spend the week with family and these two fur balls!!

Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy your full or half week off! Lord knows we all need it! :)

Then and Now Thanksgiving Unit

Well Dana from Scrappin' Doodles does it again! I contacted her with an idea for a fun Thanksgiving clip art set and she blew my expectations away! This unit wouldn't have been possible with her! So without further ado, here my newest unit!

This is a fun unit to teach right around Thanksgiving time. My kids always love it! They can't believe how the pilgrims used to live! Some of my favorite books to read that go along with my unit are the "If You Lived..." books.

Here are some of the activities included in the unit with many more as well!

I also just posted a fun freebie craftivity on TpT that is a must do for the Thanksgiving season!

What are your favorite Thanksgiving activities to teach?

November Currently and Freebie Hop

I know I'm a couple days late to the currently post, but I had to join in! And don't worry, I have some fun freebies for you since I'm so late in my post :)

Listening: Watching the remake of "The Parent Trap with Lindsey Lohan. Takes me back!

Loving: My family is just amazing! I have been bed rest for the past 2 days. My husband and I have been going through IVF and the embryo transfer was yesterday. Our little guy is getting all nestled in mommy's tummy! And no, we don't know if it's a boy, but we have decided it is :) They have come over every day to bring us dinner and hang out with me :) My sister even stopped by the gas station today on her way over to get me some candy because I was craving it so much! Cravings have to be a good thing right!? :)

Thinking: Life has been so many ups and downs the past year, but now I feel that things are starting to slow down and settle in.
