A great birthday and Grandparents Day!

Thanks for all of those who were able to celebrate my birthday with me!

I have attempted to email everyone their wishes.  Some of you might have received 2 emails because I was trying to make sure that I didn't forget anyone.  If I missed you, please DO NOT be shy and let me know!  :)

I still can take 2 more wishes!!! 


So, the first 2 to comment, leave me your email and what item you would like.  :)

Also- a reminder that Grandparents Day is coming up!!!!  It is too late for me to invite grandparents but I certainly will be doing some activities.

We are going to make a class book out of these.  One of  my lovely teammates told me that she has a friend that has her kiddos put on a wig and shaw/ hat/ cane etc and they take a photo before they write this!  SOOO cute!  I'm going to buy some gear to do this next year so this "after" Halloween season so I can get it cheap!!!

We are going to make these and send it home on Friday.

This is our word work for Thursday and Friday this week!  :)

We are going to read these on Thursday and Friday and complete the story map together afterward.

Questions to answer after one of the books.

Math measurement- using dentures.  :)

Graphing using grandma things and a story problem.

Even though this was the first work day of the week- it sure feels like a Thursday!!!!  Have a great Wednesday tomorrow!  :)

Grandparents or Special Person Day Activities

Hi blogging friends!

I finished my Grandparents day item.  I have ALWAYS wanted to celebrate Grandparents day but I ALWAYS miss it because it is celebrated usually the 2nd week or so of September.  I decided that this is one of my goals this year to incorporate. 

Here is a peak at my Grandparents or Special Person Day Activities:

(I wrote 2 poems for this.  Let me tell you- a life being a poet is NOT in my future!  It took me half a day alone to rearrange all of the words just how I wanted them!)  This poem is used with the paint or construction hands that look like this:

Here is the entire file sample:

I tried to make items so that you can just celebrate in your classroom or you can send home the invitations that I included and invite those special people to come in for a visit.  I LOVE the poem that I wrote for a visitor craft.  Because I have the visitor trace one of their hands and the student trace one of their hands and put it together.  :)

As always- a new product means I give it away!  :)

Let's make it interesting...

The first person to correctly guess where I will be going on vacation next week will win this item!  :)  If no one guesses correctly- I'll just use a random number generator sometime tomorrow to figure out a winner.  :)
