Valentine's Day was a blast! We started the day with our normal work load - calendar, Heggerty Phonemic Awareness, and sight word practice - but after lunch we passed out Valentine's, had a Valentine desert and enjoyed sharing the time with our friends! 

Here we are doing of Conversation Heart Graphing (which you can also find on my TpT page.)

Shout out to my AWESOME parents who made such cute Valentines mailboxes with their child! Everyone had a box and they loved comparing their boxes with their friends! Yay! Only next year....I need to make myself a box... Loved getting all those sweet notes from my kiddos! :o)

And here's more more picture for good measure....

Parents - if you want copies of pictures this year (where you can see your child's lovely face, please e-mail me and I can send them to you!)

Happy Heart Day! :o)

TPT and President's Day

Uh oh. I did it. I crossed into the dangerous, possibly addicting world of creating materials and selling them on TPT. Here's my first mini-pack for sale.

 It is a President's Day Literacy pack and it is FREE right now.  Parents and teachers alike can download and use at home, school, tutoring, etc. I know this is small fish kind of stuff, but I feel like if I am making things that should be acceptable to sell, then I will end up making better resources for my classroom as well.  Hopefully as the years go on, my materials will be more and more differentiated, expansive, and FUN!

I would love to hear if anyone has suggestions for the pack or how I can improve my materials! Thanks, thanks! :o)
