Pin It To Win It--Bloggy Style!

I worked ALL DAY LONG on this packet today and I am completely worn out.  To tired to even pin my latest creation.  So, I am going to ask you for some help!!  All I need for you to do is pin this packet to Pinterest to let the world know that there is something new out there.  I am planning to use this baby to keep everything working smoothly when we go back to school and I am doing my running records.  Just pin the pic and leave me the link below in the comment area.  Tomorrow night I will have my 8 year old pic the winner <or maybe a couple of winners if there is a good turn out!!> and announce it on the blog.  We'll work out the details of how I am going to get it to you later...my brain just stopped working.  Oops.  Night ya'll!

If you want to take a sec to look at it on Teachers pay Teachers, just click HERE or on the pic below!

 HINT:  The page below is the best one to pin!!  <wink wink>

Don't throw tomatoes! Sight Word Picture Phrases

Normally, I don't upload a blog post that consists of just some of my 'stuff', but this one is too hard to hang on to!  I want to go ahead and share it with you.  So, don't through tomatoes at your screen!!  hehe


I just found an activity that I can't wait to use with my 7 year old since he is struggling in reading.  One of my core beliefs is that children learn sight words best in phrases in which a mental picture can be attached.  The mental image helps develop sight word schema!!   So...Wooo Hoooo!  I think success might just be around the corner for my little guy.  I am also excited about developing my next set.  Until then, go check this out!

I also want to encourage you to sign up on my blog through the email feed!  I did a little bit of research and found out that as much as 80% of the people that reach you blog do so through emails sent  from the blog host.  I have to confess that with all of the blogs I am a member of, those that I TRULY love, come straight to my inbox in my email.  So...if you are here by chance or through Google Reader or something, take the time to sign up through email, too!  Show me some email love!!

Enjoy!
