Who will Guide My Sleigh Tonight?

The joy of writing in Kindergarten....oh what fun!  I read the story Who Will Guide My Sleigh Tonight?  by Jerry Pallotta this past Friday and my kids really enjoyed it. I also had them write who was going to guide their sleighs....take a look!

We have spiders, a dolphin and a saber tooth tiger guiding these sleighs....

Who Doesn't Love the Elf on the Shelf??

That's what I want to know! I love the story The Elf of the Shelf (as well as the real publishing story).  I created this super cute elf word hunt for your students to read and write the room.  If you purchase this product, please, please, please post how it went.  I'm doing this activity when my students come back from Thanksgiving break and I'll be sure to post my comments and pictures!

Click on the picture to preview the activity!!!

I am thankful for...

I created this writing sheet with my beginning writers in mind.  They need bigger lines!  It's hard for my Kindergartners to write freely when they're intimidated by smaller lines.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Veteran's Day

Veteran's Day is the perfect time to introduce letter writing to your students as well as honoring our men and women who have served our country!! Our local newspaper ran a story today about the Coast Guard and how they are often overlooked when it comes to honoring our veterans.  So this story really made me want to do something special in remembering ALL veterans and what they have done for us. I also was impressed to read about the Texas Roadhouse chain of restaurants offering free lunch to any veteran on Monday, November 12th.  Since we have a Texas Roadhouse in our area, my students will be making posters, banners and placemats for this special day! Way to go Texas Roadhouse!!

If you would like your students to somehow honor a veteran, try this FREEBIE out!  It's special stationary I created for your students to write a letter of thanks to a veteran.  Try sending them to your nearest veteran's hospital or VFW lodge.

Thank you!!

Election Day Freebie!

Are you holding classroom elections in honor of Election Day? 
Click HERE to download free I Voted! badges for your students.

Election Day is almost here!

I don't know about you and your classroom, but my Kindergarteners don't quite grasp the concept of the Presidential Election.  So I was searching around for some supercute Election Day clipart  to make an easy book for my students to read and found some from Melonheadz Illustrations.  I am in absolute awe of Nikki's talent and would love to buy every piece of her clipart!  After the 60 minutes I spent on the Melonheadz blog, I purchased her Election Day clipart and created this emergent reader about the current presidential candiates.  Hope you like it too, I love it!

New Freebie

We have a new freebie to share!!
If you're in the same boat we are, then this freebie is for you!  Our beginning of the year assessments are complete and we need some direct practice.  When you assess a skill for only 60 seconds, fluency is the key so we created some practice sheets.

Click HERE to get your copy!  If you liked the look of it check out the entire set at our store.
Happy practicing!!

Kindergarten Math in October

I don't know about your classroom, but we're just now settling down and actually have a routine day! It took a lot of work to get where we are....and because of that, I feel my Math instruction is suffering.
So last night I came up with a dice game to get things back on track. Two years ago I downloaded a game called roll a penguin and my students really like it. Remembering that, I came up with roll a Frankenstein! And I will have to say, I impressed myself!!

Click HERE to check it out and tell me what you think!

Happy rolling!
