This may just be my most favorite thing that I've made yet!
"Away in a Manger" is my kids' favorite Christmas carol.
There's nothing I love more than listening to their little toddler voices singing it.

I know that this is the time of year when teachers have a ton of things to do...
Unexpected sick days start to pop up.
Conferences and meetings start piling up.
The days (and nights) seem longer and longer.
So I created something quick and easy for you to print in a hurry.
These 45 quick-print activity sheets are just what you need for the month of November. Use them when you're in a bind, put them in your sub tub, plan them for center work, or send them home as homework.
They cover a variety of concepts in both Math and Language Arts.
No preparation is needed-just print what you want, make your copies, and you're all set.
I'm really excited about using these-
hope you like them too!

Eeeeeek!
They are here!
I have been waiting for 8 business days to get this package, lol!
Want to see what's inside? Take a peek...
What is this you ask?
Why, it's my newest line of teacher resources!
I am so incredibly excited to announce
(drum roll please!)...
my Story Telling Magnet Sets!
I am starting this new product out small,
with just one theme of Cinderella.
But don't worry, I already have other themes
made and ready to go...I'm just waiting a bit longer to release them.
Where did this idea come from you might ask?
I'm not sure really!
I was sitting around adoring my favorite Melonheadz graphics when I starting thinking about how cute they would be to play with on the fridge.
Next thing I knew, I was daydreaming about how much fun my own kids would have building magnetic scenes...if only there was a way to do this. Then, (since I am a teacher you know!)
I started brainstorming ways that I could tie an activity like that into my own classroom.
Before long, I was on the computer...
making, creating, researching, and ordering!
Fancy up a cover page and now here they are...
all ready for your own kids or students to enjoy!
Check it out here!
And the best part about it is that I paired it with my Cinderella themed bundle of math & literacy activities. You can get it all! Something to download now, and something to receive in the mail later...simple as that!
Purchase of this magnetic set includes the themed magnets, a corresponding sentence recording activity, and 10 math/literacy activities to download.
It's 170+ pages for your kiddos to enjoy!
Let me also mention, these magnets are WATERPROOF!
Yup, thought that out ahead of time...
Snotty nose? No problem!
Spilled drink? Easy to wipe off!
The Cinderella graphics are full vivid color on a smooth, waterproof, vinyl magnet.
You can use them on your refrigerator, magnetic whiteboard, cookie sheets, filing cabinet, or any other magnetic surface.
Once your kids are done building a scene, have them practice building sentences with the 48 included magnetic words. Capitalized words and punctuation marks are also included.
After creating a few sentences they like, they can record it on the corresponding activity sheet.
Use these for story re-telling, sequencing, verbal communication, visual literacy, narration, and more! Perfect for your Cinderella or fairy tale themed literacy centers.
Become a follower to watch for more magnetic sentence building themes to come in the near future!

So a lot of activities I have planned for this week

What I needed were some good books.
