It's Five 4 Friday....and Valentines Day!

Hello Five 4 Fridayers!!! It's February 14....the day of L.O.V.E. 

So what better way to celebrate it than to do something I LOVE......so I am again "gettin' up on" this awesome linky party by Doodle Bugs Teaching!

I designed a blog ya'll! I am so pumped and honored that lil ol' me was trusted with such a task. And it came out pretty cute, if i do say so myself. Click on her button {above} to check it out! 


I am curious to know what you think!



                 

                                                       

Can we say SNOW-mageddon!!! We got soooo much snow it was insane. This picture is from Day 1, so multiply the amount of snow by 2 because it snowed again last night. I was bummed that I didn't get to have our Friendship celebration with my kiddos yesterday (as we were going to be out today for a work day). I am estatic however, to be having a 5-day weekend. 

I will update this post in June when they extend our school year :-/

My snow cation did bring some pretty serious downtime. With that I was able to create some super cute clip art. I have a proposition for you guys......

I am making this awesome art a "Follow Me Freebie". 

Yes, I am pimping out my artwork.

I have found a new gadget that I love. It is called Symbaloo. It allows you to create a homepage with  shortcut buttons of the places you visit the most. I created a homepage for my school computer that has all the whozits and whatzits that I access on a daily basis. I also created a page for my kiddos at my computer workstations. This will alleviate all the "I can't finds"  or "How do you spell's" that interrupt small group and allow students to navigate the computer independently.

Check it out at http://www.symbaloo.com !

I had a sneaky suspicion that we would not be in school on Thursday so I decided that we would create our Valentine's Day tissue hearts early. My kiddos had a blast. As I demonstrated the activity on the visualizer and walked the room, it was amazing to see their work..

It was soooooo CREATIVE!!!

And of course, I always sneak in a skill that some of them are working on. And this activity was FULL of fine motor practice. 

My kiddos did a GREAT job and were excited to take them home to give to their parents for Valentine's Day!

Okay so NOW it is your turn. Head on over to Doodle Bugs Teaching and "get up on" her linky. It is actually really fun to see a 5-cap about each teacher's week. 

You know I ALWAYS leave you with a lil something extra:

Spoken like a true Sheldon.

Valentines Week: Freebies 4 U!

Valentines Day is literally AROUND THE CORNER. 

Oh la la.

So, I decided that I wanted to offer some free swag you can use with your kiddos this week and to create products of your own....

with all graphics and patterns created by yours truly!

Click on on the pic below, or look to your right to click on my teacher pay teachers button.

One more thing!!!!!

Please follow my store and my blog. I will do the same for you as soon as I figure out why Friend Connect despises me.

We will save that for another post-lol

Happy Saturday ya'll :-)


** UPDATE: I have FINALLY figured out how to "find" Google Connect!! Woop! Woop! Even though I somehow followed myself too -lol. Please follow me and I will do the same :-)
