3 Freebies and a Giveaway- Days 7, 8, and 9

Is it just me or did this weekend go by super quick? I can't believe that tomorrow is ALREADY MONDAY! AHHH!!! Tonight, I have to finish an assignment for my last gifted class, work on my Reading Group Powerpoint Presentation for a workshop I am holding for my K, 1, and 2 teachers on Wednesday afternoon, and make 2 batches of my Overnight Blueberry French Toast (my family's Christmas Brunch favorite, yummo) for our school's "10 days of Gluttony". (I'll take pictures of it tomorrow morning and post it for you all to see.)

I'm sorry I haven't been around the past few days. I promise I am on track now. Since my last post, I went to the Scholastic Books Warehouse Sale in my area and scored some awesome books. Here are some pics of what I bought.

 

I was able to score about 98% of these books at 50% off. Woohoo! Several of them are even hardcover. A few I bought for my daughter, but majority of them will be going into my unit boxes. Besides the sale, we also had dance class, christmas pictures, and my dad's 60th Birthday Party yesterday! What did you all do this weekend?

Now onto the Freebies and Giveaway! Remember to Click on the first picture as they are only available for 24 hours! Then they will be available for purchase in my TPT store the next day.

Day 7:
I created a Emergent Reader using Christmas Lights and color words. Your students can practice writing the color words and identifying them.

 

 

Day 8:

 

Syllable Sorting Literacy Activity: Students use the Holiday themed cards and mats to sort the syllables in the words on the cards. A worksheet is included for assessment.

 

 

 

Day 9:

Winter Handwriting Freebie: This is a freebie from my Winter Handwriting Packet. This is also the item that I will be giving away to one lucky follower in my giveaway.

Day 5 & 6...Sorry for the delay

Have you ever had that day where you are just way to tired to do anything? Well, yesterday was THAT day for me. I got home late and was just way to tired. I ended up falling asleep sitting up while reading a story to my daughter, that's how tired I was. So I'm sorry for the delay of Day 5. To make up for it, I am posting both Day 5 & 6 now and leaving it up until Saturday morning. That's extended time to snag your freebies. : )

Day 5 Freebie is....a Reindeer Labeling page, Reindeer web, and Reindeer Tree Map. Remember to click on the first picture to snag it.

 

 

Day 6 is a Stocking Stuffer Counting. Students count the dots on the ten frame and then find the candy cane and cookie to match the number. The candy canes have the numeral on them and the cookies have tally marks. This center activity aligns with Common Core K.CC.5. Click on the picture to snag it.

 

Thanks for stopping by. I'll be posting some craftivities soon! Remember to leave some love and share my blog.

 



Day 4 & Giveaway Winner Announced

Good Morning all my wonderful teacher friends! I hope everyone had a maginifcant Monday. I didn't post the new freebie late last night, because well I was just plan pooped. We had BAT testing yesterday and I had to administer the assessment to a group a students who got extended time. This just plain tuckered me out. We have it for the rest of the week as well. (Sigh!) Poor babies with all this testing!

Anyways, my K,1, and 2 teachers are starting to get their classrooms into the full holiday swing. Our principal purchased "Elf on the Shelf" for each classroom. The teachers are super excited and I will be sharing with them some activities that they can do with it. (Pictures to follow.) I got one for my 2 year old and on the first day, she loved it. The second day when he came, he was in a different spot and she said that she doesn't like him, "He's scary!" I think him moving kind of freaked her out. I would LOVE to hear any ideas that you have done with your elf, so that I can share it with my teachers.

Here is today's Freebie. It's a set of 3 worksheets for students to practice ABC order. They must color a gumdrop path to for the Gingerbread children to the Gingerbread House. Click on the first picture to snag it!

 

I also, wanted to announce the of my December Handwriting Packet Giveaway! Drumroll please, the winner is ....

 

Check your inbox! Well, I hope everyone has a terrific Tuesday. Don't forget to share what you have done or are planning to do with your Elf!
