Fishing For Ideas

Come check out my NATURE friendly resources.  EVERYBODY loves camping!! (Except me!!  I love to view nature, but not interact with it!!!) Anyhoo....The A+ Collaborating Teachers <we host a website, Pinterest Boards, and a 'pinning' room on Facebook> is hosting all of the summer fun.  All that is missing is homemade ice cream, snow cones, and fireworks!

Be on the lookout for lots of giveaways and even some patriotic activities!  

Come and check out our blog!!

Each day I will have a new activity that will be marked down to ZERO!!  Yes, you read correctly.  Zero.  Nada.  Nuttin', honey!  Today <until I change it tomorrow>, the scoot game above will be free!  It is so cute! My 7 year old told me I had to put the All Star Verb or Noun game up because it is his favorite and there are stars on the flag.  Somewhere in there, folks, is a correlation.  I'm still working on it!  So, click on the scoot game to download it FOR FREE!!  When you go pick it up, please follow my store so that you can find out when new products go up!

Camp Sort-a-Vowel is a fun game chocked full of vowel sorting mats and cards.  LOTS of cards!!  I can't remember exactly, but this one download provides you with 50 or 60 games because you can keep putting different vowel pairs together!  This past year I had to remake this game because we played it so many different ways that our cards were worn out!!

 Camp Sort-a-Vowel is usually $3.85, but until June 20th, you can take another 20% off which makes it marked down to....well....uh....I don't know.  I can't find my abacus!  But you are welcome to go check and see what it is marked down to!  In fact, I marked my whole store down 20% so grab 'em what you can.  All of these camping games are going to be DA BOMB during the first nine weeks of school in the 2012-2013 school year during the 2nd grade unit on the Seasons.  Several of the texts recommended for that unit are about camping!

Need to brush up on capitalization?  Here is another fun game!  This is usually $3.35 but you can still take that 20% off!

Remember to come back tomorrow to see what the new freebie is!!!  Best of luck.  Now...go grab that freebie!!

When you get done, feel free to click on one the icons below and visit a different blog that is ready to entice you!

Summer Vacation

While my summer vacation actually started at noon on May 22, I started counting the start of my vacation as of May 18 at 3:20 when my group of second graders walked down the hallway to get into their car or on their bus. So, that has left me pondering.....what will I do this summer??

1.  Go to a workshop for 'Words Their Way' in June.
2.  Go to my niece's dance recital.
3.  Go to a reading and writing workshop towards the end of June.
4.  Finish my reading unit.
5.  Spend as much time with my kids as possible.
6.  Eat out as much as possible!
7.  Get new windows put in.
8.  SLEEP!
9.  Plan a vacation....I better get on it!
10.  Organize all of the files on my computer and make a few games!


Also, along with this, I want to give you a freebie or 2 along the way that you can use in your classroom.
Speaking of which, here is a fluency game that my kids love called Read It, To Believe It!  It is an easy center to make and plan and infect, you can make around 7 different centers out of this one file!!  Hope it can work for you!  Sorry there is no thumbnail.  Microsoft Word wouldn't work with me!

Enjoy!
