New Winner...

Well about to 2 weeks ago I had my first giveaway-- it was a huge success except... the winner's email was messed up, and I never heard back from them!! Sad day..  So, I decided to pick a new winner using the random generator.  So here it goes...  the NEW winner is Joni from KinderKids Fun.  I will be emailing you your goodies shortly!!  Thanks for playing :)

May Math Journal Prompts

I just created a May Math Journal Prompt Pack for Kindergarten.  My kids love working in their math journals!  I also love to see where their thinking can go- I have to get in some of that higher order thinking as much as possible!!!   I try to sneak it in so they think it's fun and don't notice they are learning :). Now that testing is over (not that I am complaining--- because I do not have TCAP, but still...) I wanted to review a few things with my kiddos before the year is up, and they move on to bother love another teacher.  You can find it at TpT for $2.50.  I used clip art from KPM Doodles.  I just love all her stuff!! I will openly admit I have an addiction to shopping at her etsy store... But anyway.. I'm off to play with the pooch.  Click on the picture to check it out!

P.S.- The first person to comment can have it for FREE!  Just leave me some love & your email address :)



What I'm pinning Wednesday!

I'm linking up with Laura over at Kinder Craziness for What I'm pinning Wednesday!

I pinned from Mrs. Ayala's Kinder Fun:

I love that these are expectations and not rules!  I also love that they each say, "We will..."  So great! I want to print this and turn it into a poster for next year!

I pinned from Mrs. Kelly's Kindergarten:

This would be great to do during the first few weeks of school as an easy literacy center.

I pinned from Happiness Is...:

Except of course it will say Kindergarten.. instead of 1st grade for me!

And although I do not have children of my own yet (someday...) I definitly want to do this one day!

You make a crate for each child adding file folders that say Pre-K-12th grade.  So each year when they bring home something you want to keep you will not forget where you put it! Great idea!!!

Welp- those are my favs!! Happy Hump Day! Don't forget to link up with Laura to join in the pinterest fun!

Flower Freebie!

Also, if you are the winner of my give away-- please email me soon!!! We have tried to contact you and cannot. I would hate for you not to get all your goodies! If  I do not hear from the winner by the end of the week, I will pick someone else!

Dino Sentence Building!

This week is ALL about Dinos! I just love teaching about Dinosaurs!! You grab the attention of both the boys and the girls!  They are also using great vocab words like extinct- I love to hear it! 

Yesterday, we did a little sentence building with Dinos & color words. 

Here are a few pics:

I printed off the words, had my EA chop them, and we put them back in order!

We also had a recording sheet so we stayed on task.

12 on the 12th Linky Party

I'm linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching for 12 on the 12th!  I am especially fond of this Linky Party because-- I am a visual person.   I can't wait to see all the pictures for "12 on the 12th!"

What I'm pinning Wednesday!



I'm linking up, with Laura over at Kinder Kraziness, for What I'm pinning Wednesday!

Here are a few of my favs I pinned recently:

I thought this looked like so much fun and it is also super cheap at the same time!  The tape represents sound boxes on the floor. I teach Kindergarten and movement is soooo important for me them.  You can let your little ones jump as they sound out those words! What a fun activity!!

Next, are these adorable little jellyfish!! We are doing our ocean unit this week; I might just have to add these little cuties!

I don't know about you all.. but I have already started to think about next year! I know, I need to just get through these next 2 months... but I can't help it!  I always have a few kids who finish early.. These would be great to keep a few books, journals, etc.. in to give my kids something  to do when they are done.  It would help with the constant questions, "Can I color on the back?", "What do I do now?", & "Mrs. Baxter, I'm done!". 

Speaking of next year.. I just love anchor charts! Don't you?!?  I definitly want to create this one and read those David books! I will probably still do my usual color faces, The Crayon Box that Talked, etc... But I definitly want to add this to the list. 

Then, we can make these:

Happy Pinning!

Oceans of Fun- Peak at my Week!

I just saw my mistake on the school of fish... sad :( Please go download again on tpt. I fixed it, and re- uploaded it.  Again... sorry! One of my kids pointed it out... I was like ohhhh dear! lol
