"Ouch" said the cow and a Giveaway

My TpT store hit 100 followers. That's pretty exciting news for little 'ole me! In honor of that, I would like to give something away. Leave me a blog comment with an item you would like from my store and your email address, and I will randomly choose a winner on Sunday. :)

Ahhhhh! Spring Break is almost over. I’m really going to miss staying up late, sleeping late, and lounging around in my pajamas with my kids all day. I guess it’s okay though. I’m ready to see what my school kiddos have been up to. I wonder what they have done over the break.

This is something I worked on. I think it’s too cute, and I know my kiddos are going to love it! I really want to make another one using  /oi/ and /oy/. That would mean another late night for me. I rented a Redbox movie for us to watch tonight and we have an Easter Egg Hunt to go to tomorrow, so it probably won't happen this weekend.

“Ouch” said the cow-Literacy activities using /ow/ and /ou/.
Can you see the band-aid on the cow's head? Yep, I love it!

 

You can check it out on Teachers pay Teachers and Teachers Notebook.

I will also let them continue using Spring Syllables. 

Of course they will also get to use the freebie Spring ABC Order I made. All the spring colors make me happy! 

I'm so excited for some of my blogging friends!!! 
Sara from Polka Dot Kinders has 100 followers, and I get to be part of her giveaway. It's just too cool!

Another great blogger, Kimberly Ann, from Live, Laugh, I LOVE Kindergarten is celebrating her 300 followers with a giveaway. 

Cindy from Granny Goes to school will be having her 500 follower giveaway soon. I can't wait for that one!

A Spring Freebie and Let's Get Acquainted

I have a bad case of stripes spring fever! I want warm weather. I'm ready to wear my capris and flip flops. 

For our last week of school before Spring Break, I made a Spring Syllable activity for my kiddos to use. They loved it, and they all did a great job reading the words and listening for the number of syllables in each word.

I decided to make a Spring ABC Order for my kiddos to use when we go back next week. I put it on TpT and TN as a freebie.

It seems like all the cool cats are linking up with Latoya Reed from Flying into First Grade for her Let's Get Acquainted Linky Party. I've been reading and guessing on some of the lies that were told last week. I just can't pass up on joining in on the fun this week.

The Noun Game: Name your favorite person, place, thing, and animal.
Person

I have four favorite people. My husband and our three children. Life is full of ups and downs, but these four are always there for me at the end of the day. 

Place

My favorite place would probably be the beach. I can lay on a beach chair for hours!

Thing

My favorite thing would definitely be my cellular! 

 My pink zebra case makes me smile. I found it on Amazon for less than $5 because I'm cheap like that!

Animal

To be truthful, I don't really like animals. They're cute and all, but they require more attention than I'm willing to give right now. My kids want a dog, but we simply are not home enough to take care of an animal. I do love the looks of the zebra though. 

I guess since spring break will be over soon, I need to get some things cleaned and organized. 

Spring is in the air, and the pollen proves it!

Spring is in the air around here, and the pollen proves it. That stuff is EVERYWHERE! My red car looks more like a yellowish-greenish color. The warm weather has put me in a spring mood. I love everything about spring (except the pollen). The kids and I went outside today and played a little basketball. I won a game and lost a game, so I guess I can live with that. Then, we went for a walk just because it was so pretty outside. I didn't care that nobody had on matching clothes. I do think it's about time to get the girls' bigger bikes though. My babies have grown so much since last year.  

 While we were out yesterday, we saw a celebrity in our local Wal-Mart. Too bad it was the card board version. We love Duck Dynasty! 

Last week, we were working on tons of stuff as always. I snagged a few pictures in math of my kiddos measuring all sorts of things in the room with nonstandard units. On this particular day, they were using blocks. Other days, we used paperclips and color tiles. They absolutely loved it! When they love it, I love it!

  

Because I've felt so springy this weekend (I know it's not a real word), I made an activity for my kiddos to use next week to practice syllables. I've printed and laminated it. Now, I just need to cut it out.
