---------------------------------------ON TO THE GOOD STUFF :)-------------------------------------

Since I am planning on breaking the bank on February 29th at TPT... I thought that it would be nice share a list of favorite TPT items that I have purchased. 

Here are some of my favorite purchases:
http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Fabulous-Fairy-Tales-Unit-ideas-for-10-Fairy-Tales
I use my Scholastic Fairy Tale Videos, Books and some other online sites for this.  I just love the creativity!  For example Cinderella has writing paper, a story map and telling time worksheets (You know because of the midnight thing?)  Oh I LOVE this!

http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Fix-It-Up-Sentences-for-Grammar-Sight-Words-Handwriting
I have used these for morning work.  They really have helped my students with editing! 

http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/The-Candy-Corn-Bandit-A-Making-Predictions-Activity
Oh my gosh!  My kids and I had so much fun doing this!  It reminds me of the Kissing Hand type of scavenger hunt around the school. 

http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Ice-Cream-Unit-Math-Literacy-Science
That Cara Carroll sure does make wonderful things but this is my ABSOLUTE favorite of hers.  I used many of the activities when we were learning about raw materials to product.  Super cute stuff.

http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Literature-Circles-Reading-Response-Journals-primary-lines
I have always wanted to have literature circles in my class but most resources that I found were too difficult for my little ones.  These are simple enough for my 6-7 year old students to complete.  This is a great product!

Please leave a comment with your favorite TPT items and why you like them.  I need to create a list of all of the items that I will be buying soon!

Family Fitness and Health Night

Tomorrow is our first annual family Fitness and Health Night.  Big Kuddos to my amazing teammate for pretty much organizing the entire thing by herself!  :) 

I told her that I would help but unlike me I procrastinated until last minute!!! 

I told her that I would make the CD for the fitness stations.  I waited until tonight and hopped on itunes.  I was really disappointed that there were only a few radio edited versions of popular songs!  I also looked up "workout music for kids" and only found the music that is sang by kids.  In an act of desperation I texted one of my former student teachers and begged for help.  He is a D.J. and within 15 minutes he emailed me an hour long play list!  Bless his little heart!  He always hooks my school up with his D.J. services.  So- procrastination paid off!  (Perhaps I should do it more!)

I also made some signs for the fitness stations, am picking up my friend Angie to teach Zumba (My PURE workout obsession!), bringing blenders for the smoothie stations, assembled things for the raffle (not the items but just the buckets and signs!) and best of all I GET TO WEAR WORKOUT CLOTHING DURING WORK ALL DAY TOMORROW!

I am the teacher who wear high heels almost every day but give me a chance to wear sweats- and I'm all in!

I am really excited for tomorrow and hope that we have a good turn out!  I will be working (sampling) the smoothie station for the first hour and then working it all off for 30 minutes of Zumba and karate after! 

Have a great night!  ;)

First Grade Emergency Plans WINNERS!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

I was a day late posting the winners so I just decided to send it to all who entered the contest!

Elizabeth- I wasn't sure if you wanted to enter or not- if you send me your email I can send it to you as well to share with some deserving first grade teacher in your building.  :)  (I'm sure they are all deserving because they do teach FIRST grade after all!)

I don't know about you but any party day feels like 3 days in 1!  WHEW!  What happened to the snow that should have hit Ohio?  I was feeling a delay on a party day- it would have made it seem like 1 day!  If you are from Ohio- I'm sure you are feeling me- it has really only snowed on NON school days!  I know I have only worked 6 out of the last 10 work days but those were sick days and WAY different. 

Well- enjoy the rest of your week friends!!!
