Monster and Pumpkin Freebies!

Hello All! 

I unexpectedly had the day off today!  Our town's water pumps were not working which meant we had no water.  I was very happy the district called the day off - can you just imagine trying to tell 25 five year old's that they can't go to the bathroom? 

Anyway,  I created a few smartboard files to share.  I hope they are useful to you!

Here is a sight word literacy station I created too!

Gotta Love 'Em!

So I am having one of those quick conversations with one of my darlings. You know, the kind that pop up out of nowhere? Like when you are teaching about pumpkins and they tell you that their dog's name is Fred.  Anyway,  My darling says "I can do flips on my trampoline." I respond.  "Really? I used to be able to do that to."  Darling asks innocently, as he looks me up and down from head to toe, "Did you used to be skinny too?"  Just gotta love the honesty of five year olds!

What We've Been Up To

So... it is a challenging year to say the least.  But I am up for a challenge!  (Kinda gotta be, I guess!)  Lately we have focused on fire safety, scarecrows and Fall.  Here are some charts we have made together.  Each kiddo has their own sheet to fill out as we work together.  I can't wait until we start sharing the pen - but for right now I will write for them.  Here are some pics of our charts:

Here are a few pics of my darlings building and illustrating their predictable sentences on scarecrows.

So that's what is going on in our neck of the woods!  On to pumpkins and Monsters!

Spider Smart Notebook File (Freebie)

Hello all!  I have been MIA for some time!  First there was no time because I was getting ready for school. Then I became Really involved with my new class. (Can we say, "Oh my what a year it will be!?!).  Then it was on to softball games for one of my girls and now basketball for one of the others.  O.K.,  I am done griping.  I wanted to give you a little freebie to let you know I am glad to be back!  This is a Smart Notebook file for basic sight word review.  Hopefully you can use this in any of your upcoming spider units!  Click below for you freebie!  Leave me some comment love if you use it!
