New freebie

It has been a LONG time since my last post. (New Years Resolution...get better at this) I have truely enjoyed my Christmas break with my family. I am now starting on a few things for school. We go back January 3rd and it will be here sooner than I want it to.

I have made a freebie that goes along with our Scott Foresman Reading Series. This is a center activity for the students to work on r-controlled sounds making -ar words. I hope you find it helpful.

Sweet Science

I am going to fit in a science experiment this week that I found on Teachers Notebook. Its from StayAndPlay. The experiment is to see if different candybars float or sink. I made a worksheet to go with the experiment.

Gingerbread Men Cookies

A sinus infection has kept me home today since I have no voice. So I am working on some school stuff. One thing we are doing this week is making gingerbread cookies in the classroom. I have made a cute recipe to display while making this recipe. I hope to get a chance to create a writing page to go with it too. Lets see how productive I am today. If you would like the Gingerbread Cookie Recipe click here.

Here is a quick freebie. This week we are working on compound words and needed a way to get the kids up and moving. I will give each student a word and they need to find their partner to make a compound christmas word. If you would like it click here.

I knew it was late last night, just noticed I put the wrong year on it. LOL!!!
