I'm Following the Yellow Brick Road to Freebies and Fun!

Happy International Blog-Hopping Day!  Teaching Blog Addict is hosting a fun linky party and of course I had to join the fun..... because there is no place like TBA! 

I linked up to Krystal's blog, Kreative in Kinder to share some freebies with you!    

I have been able to dilly dabble with some new stuff... some inspired by pinterest and some remakes of some things I used in my class last year.  I haven't had the chance to make all the things I have thought of that I want in my classroom because I am working this summer and spending time with my family.... However, I have these things to share. 

Don't you love this?!!!!  Sorry I didn't link it from pinterest...but you can find it on one of my pinterest boards.

I thought it would be great for an open house gift for my kinders so.... I made these to attach to a pencil.... What do you think?  If you like you can get yours here.

Then I saw this from Fabulous in First Blog and it was made just for me!  I am always forgetting where I placed my to do list.... This way I could never lose it!

So I made this for my desk.  It went more with my theme of my classroom.  All you have to do is download.... cut it to fit a frame, I got mine from the Dollar Tree and voila!  Just use a dry erase marker and then erase each week!  Love!
Here is what I came up with....

Loving the chevron and polka dots this year!  You can get your copy here!

And finally new directions for my kiddos... love the visuals and this really helped my children last year!  Here are the new ones I made...

Loving the new graphics I got from Sweet Pickles on Teacher's Notebook. You need to check out her shop here.  Just click on the pic to get your copy!

Thank you for coming to check out my freebies.... Make sure you check out TBA for more fun and link up if you have anything to share!  Just click on the TBA pic to go to TBA and the pot of gold pic to go to Krystal's blog. 

Stay tuned .... I have a few things from Learning Resources to give away and of course I need to tell you about a couple of new friends!

Hop to you drop my friends!
Graphics... Sweet Pickles,Scrappin Doodles, and Digital Delight

Found!!! Missing Blogger!

Here I am!!! I am back.. did you miss me?  Thank you to all of you who wrote to find out where I had been... I had to take a break from blogging because school had gotten very hectic and I was totally exhausted and some other personal stuff was going on. But most importantly, my baby was home from college.  She was going back to summer school and I wanted to spend as much time as I could with her while she was here.  Thank you all for understanding!

I have gotten back into the creative making stuff for my classroom.  I had seen ideas for writing all over pinterest and I wanted to make one for my kiddos' writing journals for next year.  We always make a large chart together for writing ideas, but I thought maybe this would be great for their journals too. 
I thought you might like a copy.

Can you tell I have gotten into chevron? ... thinking about how I can incorporate this in my room... I think I am going to keep some of my polka dot stuff for next year and add chevron to the mix!  What do you think.... have you picked colors and themes for your room?   

Learning Resources had sent me a some products to try out and give away before school ended!  Yeahhhh! Stay tuned for the giveaway!

Thank all of you for understanding and click on the picture above for your freebie!   Graphics: Scrappin' Doodles

Warm Weather...Beach Freebie

Next week the theme I am working on with my kinders is the beach!  I thought you might like a copy of the math write the room I am using.  I made it because some of my kinders need practice with counting on. 
Here they will say the number and count on by counting the dots on the dice.... easy peasy!
I have included a recording sheet for you too.  Would you like a copy?  Just click here.
Graphics by my favorites.... graphics from the pond and scrappin doodles!

and..... since our State is racing to the top.... we have online classes we have to complete!  and to top it off... we had to dibel our children in reading and math!

I have had so much busy work fun this week!  :) 

Anyway, here is something fun for you!  It is a game from my Froggy Fun Math Stations pack!  It is based on the common core standards and even though it is based on frogs ... I think you could use it anytime!

Bunny Hop Freebie!

I am so excited to participate in TBA's fun bunny hop freebie!

Are your little hoppers tired yet?  I hope not because we're just getting started!

I have an "egg" stra surprise for you that I think you will love!

 Chicks!  Aren't they adorable??!!!!   They are from Goodness and Fun graphics.
Please take a look at her shop on etsy..... so many cute things! Just click here to go there!

I have a story to share with you....if you promise not to call any animal rights groups on me!  Remember, I grew up in a very rural area and around farmers. :)

Here goes.... one Easter when I was around 4 years old... I got the cutest little pink chick for Easter.  Yeap... it was a live little pink chick!

Now, I took care of her until she grew into an adult hen and then I had to give it to my aunt who had chickens.  Was she still pink? Nope, she had lost her pink fluff and had white feathers.   And ... she grew up around her peers and laid eggs for us to eat! :)  My parents later told me they bought the pink chick from a farmer's supply store.    It is a great memory from my childhood!  Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share it with you!

Just curious... did you ever get anything unusual in your Easter basket that you want to share?  Leave a comment and tell me! I would love to hear about it.

I guess by now you're ready for my freebie.:)  My kinders need more help with numbers before and after.  I made this cute simple math station to help them.

Just laminate, cut and give them a dry erase marker to write the missing numbers!  Click here to download!  Hope you enjoy. 

Click on the egg below to hop down the bunny trail to Brenda at Primary Inspired for you next freebie!
