I apologize for my long absence. My daughter was born Oct 2, 2013 and I haven't blogged since. It is funny how life keeps you sooo busy with a little one and time slips you by. Here is my daughter Avery who is 1 1/2 now!

We started back to school on Tuesday! Today we read "David Learns the School Rules" and made a David craft that I found on Fall Into First's Blog. Here is the link to the activity: Fall Into First

Here are some of the David's my kids made and the rules they came up with.

It has been way too long since I have posted anything! I have a good excuse though!! I got married on June 2nd. So finishing up another year of teaching and planning a wedding took up ALL of my time! So now I am back into the swing of things! I have created a new TPT item- it is literacy and math activities to go with Jan Brett's story "The Mitten".

ornaments

This time of year is always so hectic! I know I am trying to finish up testing and cram in as many crafts as I can. My classroom is a disaster area with paint, glitter, glue, construction paper, etc. Here are a few crafts we have done for our parents.

This one is a snowman ornament :)

Here are our gingerbread ornaments- made with cinnamon, applesauce and glue! So NON edible.
This is the gingerbread men once they are dry and before being painted:

Here are the ornaments once they painted them:

 I still have to sting ribbon through those holes to make them into an ornament. They really love making these!

And tomorrow is our last day before Christmas break and I couldn't be happier. They are so chatty it is driving me crazy. They don't even seem threatened by "Santa's watching"..... So tomorrow we are watching Polar Express and having Hot Chocolate. I bought the multi- colored marshmallows for the to put in it for fun.

Kwanzaa

The first grade team is doing Holiday's around the World rotations. I am doing Kwanzaa. I thought I would share the unity cup we made today.
There is a label on it describing the cup and what it is used for. It was a lot of prep work for me- especially for 7 first grade classes but the kids were able to do their parts pretty easily.
