These help them not only with spelling sight words, cvc words or monthly themed words, but it also helps them with beginning sound recognition, fine motor and handwriting practice. (I have had people use other manipulatives instead of beads, like magnetic letters or letter tiles to build the words.)</div>

Oh my word you guys! I have the best thing EVER to share with you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I mean, it is something that will change your teacher life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Literally. It will never be the same again!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You know in the movie Elf, when he sees the sign that says "World's Best Cup of Coffee" and then he bursts through the doors yelling "CONGRATULATIONS! World's Best Coffee! You Did It!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, that just about sums up how I feel right now, except I want to shout out "I found it! The World's Best Pencil Sharpener! It Finally Exists!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't know about you but I have tried just about every pencil sharpener out there and without fail, they always break. They sharpen better on one side than the other, they don't sharpen enough or they sharpen too much...the agony never ends! And no one can truly understand this dilemma unless they have been a teacher.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well I am so excited to announce that your dilemma does not need to continue any longer! Classroom Friendly Supplies has the answer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I do recommend that you have a little lesson to teach your students how to use it. It's not your average sharpener and they will need to learn how it works properly.<br />
<br />
First, you will need to pull out the silver plate on the front:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9nCRqQkGeS8/Vw3R4NGNtMI/AAAAAAAAHVY/LNaKNKuJ6uA3EK7B27PMq_yAibY-5s_IQCLcB/s1600/2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9nCRqQkGeS8/Vw3R4NGNtMI/AAAAAAAAHVY/LNaKNKuJ6uA3EK7B27PMq_yAibY-5s_IQCLcB/s320/2.png" width="293" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Next, you squeeze the plastic knobs together on the top of the plate and slide the pencil through the hole into the sharpener. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YrOmVDPwqGQ/Vw3R4NfdDAI/AAAAAAAAHVc/i4tqKqZwz8o8hz5zx1SCvznSxjjpKBnAwCLcB/s1600/3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YrOmVDPwqGQ/Vw3R4NfdDAI/AAAAAAAAHVc/i4tqKqZwz8o8hz5zx1SCvznSxjjpKBnAwCLcB/s320/3.png" width="302" /></a></div>
<br />
Once the pencil is pushed into the sharpener, release the knobs. This allows the small "teeth" on the silver plate to hold the pencil securely while it is sharpened.<br />
<br />
Next, hold the sharpener down with one hand while you turn the crank with the other. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MfSwBdM2498/Vw3R3sPLXWI/AAAAAAAAHVU/lvALHhuwyxQgTXVXVkvij203gYzoZDF3QCLcB/s1600/4.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="236" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MfSwBdM2498/Vw3R3sPLXWI/AAAAAAAAHVU/lvALHhuwyxQgTXVXVkvij203gYzoZDF3QCLcB/s320/4.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
One of the best things about this sharpener is that it won't over sharpen. You will feel the pressure stop when the pencil is done sharpening! Then just squeeze those little knobs again to release the pencil.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Wt-W9qKRWR0/Vw3R4k9gz0I/AAAAAAAAHVg/2gfkDFnzDxQOuR8OhjBwzP8VwDc3r4nCQCLcB/s1600/5.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Wt-W9qKRWR0/Vw3R4k9gz0I/AAAAAAAAHVg/2gfkDFnzDxQOuR8OhjBwzP8VwDc3r4nCQCLcB/s320/5.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I sharpened many different pencils, including some that were only sharpened on one side from a previous pencil sharpener and all of them came out looking like this...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fABgEStm7cM/Vw3TxASwklI/AAAAAAAAHVs/j5XfvwOz3W8dJIKsvMLgk_Oo7nJ-8cCPgCLcB/s1600/6.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="308" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fABgEStm7cM/Vw3TxASwklI/AAAAAAAAHVs/j5XfvwOz3W8dJIKsvMLgk_Oo7nJ-8cCPgCLcB/s320/6.png" width="320" /></a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
My students absolutely LOVE it! They are still raving about how sharp their pencils are and we've been using it for a few weeks now!<br />
<br />
If you are looking for the pencil sharpener answer, I promise you will not be disappointed with this one!<br />

I still cannot wrap my head around the fact that it is almost December! I have no idea where this year has gone. I swear, the older we get the faster time goes. It really makes me try to enjoy each and every moment because life is so short! </div>

This year, all of my students keep asking me for a 3x5 card that they can use as a bookmark. So I thought that they'd probably love to have a personalized bookmark with their name on it!<br />
<br />
I found these adorable (FREE) bookmarks from The Brown Bag Teacher on TpT and am going to make them for my class! I plan on laminating them so they (hopefully) stay nice throughout the rest of the year.<br />

I work at a Christian private school and think that a smaller version of this would go along nicely with the bookmarks.</div>

Last, but not least, I'm going to include two homework passes for each student that can be used on any homework assignment that they either don't want to do, don't have time to do, or just want a break from doing! I'm planning on copying them on colored paper to make it more fun.<br />

In the past I have made the Applesauce/Cinnamon ornaments with my kinders...but this year I've jumped up to third grade and want to switch things up. I still haven't decided for sure what I'm going to do, but here are some fun ideas that I've come across:<br />
<br />

I always forget about gifts for coworkers until the last minute so I'm going to be better this year!<br />
<br />
I love simple, fast and easy ideas (as I'm sure you all do too)! Here are some fun and quick ideas I have recently come across:<br />

I have decided this year I'm going to make Homemade Cinnamon Almonds for my coworkers (and probably our neighbors while I'm at it):<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Who DOESN'T like these!? And this recipe I came across is SO easy.<br />

1 cup sugar<br />
3 cups raw almonds (or any other nut)<br />
1/2 Tablespoon cinnamon<br />
1/4 cup water<br />
<br />

Teaching with Hope shared a very easy tutorial on how to make your own. I just haven't had time to actually make mine yet...does anyone want to make it for me!? <br />
<br />
Maybe it can be my Christmas break project since we're staying home this year.<br />
<br />
I hope you all enjoy this wonderful holiday season with your scholars and are able to share with them the true meaning of the season by doing acts of kindness and spreading love throughout your classrooms.<br />
<br />
Merry Christmas!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Can't believe it's that time of year again!!<br />
<br />
Are you busy trying to get everything ready for the end of the year?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/91/6a/e5/916ae5c0a0acdf9f3411c010ff30af23.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="284" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/91/6a/e5/916ae5c0a0acdf9f3411c010ff30af23.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Are you looking for a simple, inexpensive gift you can give you your students?<br />
Are you searching for the perfect thank you gift to give to your parent volunteers?<br />
<br />
<br />
Look no further. I have two simple gifts ideas that are INEXPENSIVE and EASY!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For my student gifts, I grabbed enough of the 3-pack Pop Rocks from Dollar Tree for each of my students to have one and attached this note onto each individual pack....done and done.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My parent volunteer gifts were just about as easy. I purchased plastic tumbler cups at Walmart along with Crystal Light Lemonade packets to put inside. Printed out the notes, cut a slit above and below the apple and put the straw through it!<br />
<br />
<br />
Now...what could make these ideas even MORE easy for you??<br />
<br />
You can grab these notes for free to use for your own gifts!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Are you searching for gift ideas that your students can make for Mother's Day?<br />
<br />
I have an absolutely <u>ADORABLE</u> idea for you that each Mother is sure to LOVE.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-awLd-lPHwC4/VUfNg_PZEWI/AAAAAAAAG9U/mk3VFu6bApU/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img alt="" border="0" height="308" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-awLd-lPHwC4/VUfNg_PZEWI/AAAAAAAAG9U/mk3VFu6bApU/s320/1.jpg" title="A Fun & Easy Mothers Day Gift Idea!" width="320" /></a></div>
Their own personalized candle! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hXZUuUnVCbk/VUfOUCWDn4I/AAAAAAAAG9c/g1K3RSvxnwE/s1600/6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="204" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hXZUuUnVCbk/VUfOUCWDn4I/AAAAAAAAG9c/g1K3RSvxnwE/s320/6.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
I made these candles with my class last year and they had so much fun personalizing them for their mom. We paired them with a cute card and gift bag (the bags were 3 for $1 at Dollar Tree). ALL of the mom's LOVED them!!<br />
<br />
The best part was that they didn't break the bank. I already had white tissue paper, we made the card in class and the candles and gift bags were from Dollar Tree!<br />
<br />
<b><u>Here's an easy-to-follow tutorial for you on how to make them in your classroom:</u></b><br />
First things first, you need to cut your tissue paper to match the size of the candles you use. They don't have to go all the way around the candle, but I think they are a lot cuter if you DO have it all the way around. It's also best if you use white so your students artwork is the main focus (on a white candle as well.)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.hyglossproducts.com/v/vspfiles/photos/88528-1-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.hyglossproducts.com/v/vspfiles/photos/88528-1-2.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
Next give each student one piece of tissue paper (I recommend having them do it on top of paper because the markers bleed through.) I had each student write "Happy Mother's Day 2014" along with their name, then they could do anything else they wanted on it.<br />
<br />
We did find that the darker marker colors definitely showed up better and last longer. <br />
<br />
I also had each of my students write their name on a piece for me to keep! I am so glad I did! It is such a fun decoration for my desk and I plan to do it every year to add to the collection!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4CnQ6Yk_zRg/VUfQhJu-hVI/AAAAAAAAG94/HclFElXoseQ/s1600/11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="149" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4CnQ6Yk_zRg/VUfQhJu-hVI/AAAAAAAAG94/HclFElXoseQ/s320/11.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
After they were all done, I took them home to finish putting them together:<br />
<br />
You will need to remove all packaging from the candle and wrap the tissue paper around the candle, making sure to place it how you want it.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QAo3glc_L0Q/VUfPhDexACI/AAAAAAAAG9o/1MZTCda0koA/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QAo3glc_L0Q/VUfPhDexACI/AAAAAAAAG9o/1MZTCda0koA/s320/2.jpg" width="293" /></a></div>
<br />
Next, grab a piece of wax paper and wrap it around the entire candle (I recommend making it a little wider then the candle to give you extra to hold onto so your fingers don't burn!) Then pull out the hair dryer. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Pf2_EWllyI0/VUfPhKImUdI/AAAAAAAAG9s/AoqMLiWkhDY/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="227" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Pf2_EWllyI0/VUfPhKImUdI/AAAAAAAAG9s/AoqMLiWkhDY/s320/3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
It takes a minute for it to heat up enough to start sticking to the candle, but you will be able to see it melting onto the candle. Make sure you do it all the way around the tissue paper so there are no loose ends.<br />
<br />
Once you have it down, remove the wax paper. I used the blow dryer again without the wax paper for just a few seconds.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IrM883yiI90/VUfRPoKODsI/AAAAAAAAG-E/OPpEi5uCg80/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IrM883yiI90/VUfRPoKODsI/AAAAAAAAG-E/OPpEi5uCg80/s320/4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
It's complete! I placed the clear packaging back on the candle (the top and the wrap) to help protect it.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cs-Ytlsx3G0/VUfRPjbJhgI/AAAAAAAAG-g/dnqBFy00gwg/s1600/5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="242" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cs-Ytlsx3G0/VUfRPjbJhgI/AAAAAAAAG-g/dnqBFy00gwg/s320/5.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Welcome to my third Stop, SWAP & Roll Product Swap!<br />
<br />
I would like to give a BIG thank you all the participants who
have been so great to work with this time around!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lvLXkGe4nw4/VCMwwFoRg-I/AAAAAAAAGgs/Oht43ZZo_f8/s1600/StopSwap%26Roll.png" height="376" width="400" /></div>
<br />
I have had the amazing pleasure of swapping products with Alex from:<br />
<br />
<center>
<a href="http://www.thekindergartenconnection.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IYzGFnuhRZU/U88_GU3ssxI/AAAAAAAAJUA/hSGHJmbzy_A/s1600/kinder+connection+button.jpg" /></a></center>
<br />
It has been so fun getting to know her and becoming blogging friends! We even found out that we're both going to the Vegas TPT Conference this July and I can't wait to meet her in person! I seriously love this amazing online community we have and how friendly everyone is. <br />
<br />
If you haven't heard of her or her blog yet then you are definitely in for a treat today!<br />
<br />
I was able to choose a product from Alex' store to print out, use and blog about- just like everyone else did! <br />
<br />
After adding a TON of her products to my wishlist (seriously, you NEED to browse her store!) I was finally able to decide which one I'd like to use for the swap....her <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Fluency-Passages-for-Early-Readers-CVC-Word-Families-1666873" target="_blank">Fluency Passages for Early Readers CVC Word Families</a> pack:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Fluency-Passages-for-Early-Readers-CVC-Word-Families-1666873" target="_blank"><img alt="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Fluency-Passages-for-Early-Readers-CVC-Word-Families-1666873" border="0" height="200" src="https://mcdn.teacherspayteachers.com/thumbitem/Fluency-Passages-for-Early-Readers-CVC-Word-Families-1666873-1429572336/original-1666873-1.jpg" width="150" /></a></div>
<br />
I emailed Alex letting her know, and you know what that sweet girl did!? She sent me her entire <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Fluency-Passages-for-Early-Readers-BUNDLE-Pack-1677123" target="_blank">Fluency Passages for Early Readers Bundle</a>! That includes both her CVC and CVCe word families packs! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Fluency-Passages-for-Early-Readers-BUNDLE-Pack-1677123" target="_blank"><img alt="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Fluency-Passages-for-Early-Readers-BUNDLE-Pack-1677123" border="0" height="200" src="https://mcdn.teacherspayteachers.com/thumbitem/Fluency-Passages-for-Early-Readers-BUNDLE-Pack-1677123-1429334553/original-1677123-1.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
So today, I am very excited to share with you all about her Fluency Passages and how much fun we had with them!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VLzSzSda5ow/VTsZ-0VN4CI/AAAAAAAAG8w/lspbXkgvsj0/s1600/7.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VLzSzSda5ow/VTsZ-0VN4CI/AAAAAAAAG8w/lspbXkgvsj0/s1600/7.png" height="365" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
These packs have a fabulous variety and are fiiled with 23 CVC passages and 18 CVCe word family passages with room for illustrations at the bottom of each page.<br />
<br />
First, we talked talked about what it meant to be an illustrator. I told them that we were going to illustrate a short story....you would have thought I told them we were having an ice cream party with all the squeals and cheering that happened. (They are not art deprived either!)<br />
<br />
Each student had a different story and we talked about taking our time and drawing details in our pictures.<br />
<br />
Once I passed these out you could hear a pin drop! They were all concentrating so hard and trying to decide how to draw their pictures. I really like how easily you can differentiate with all of the different passages included too!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9R-QSrdm9pM/VTsYYLUU4VI/AAAAAAAAG8M/sb-Gn_AS9jA/s1600/5.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9R-QSrdm9pM/VTsYYLUU4VI/AAAAAAAAG8M/sb-Gn_AS9jA/s1600/5.png" height="320" width="252" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZSn3JCqN7K8/VTsYXw1ZGdI/AAAAAAAAG8I/C7Jh962fopY/s1600/4.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZSn3JCqN7K8/VTsYXw1ZGdI/AAAAAAAAG8I/C7Jh962fopY/s1600/4.png" height="320" width="266" /></a></div>

They turned out adorable! Seriously, look at the detail in "Mike's Bike" above!<br />
Some of the girls even wanted to color the border fancy to match their pictures.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uzGYt9h-lf0/VTsYXrRrd8I/AAAAAAAAG8E/Fc2PsZ6SRT0/s1600/3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uzGYt9h-lf0/VTsYXrRrd8I/AAAAAAAAG8E/Fc2PsZ6SRT0/s1600/3.png" height="320" width="258" /></a></div>
<br />
I also had them find and color each punctuation mark throughout their passage. You could easily have them search and color the word families too! (That's the plan next time) <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
As an added bonus, both the CVC and CVCe packs have fluency phrase pages to allow students to practice reading phrases in isolation! <br />

<br />
**************************************<br />
<br />
I have decided to have THREE different grade levels for this swap. So please <u><i>help me spread the word</i></u> about this, especially you older grades- to make sure we get enough participants! (K-1,
2-3 & 4-6)<br />
<br />
You can only sign up for ONE grade level, so choose the category
that best fits your needs. <i>Please make sure that whichever one you
choose that you have <u>at least 20 (paid) products for that grade level in your store</u> to give your partner plenty to choose from.
</i><br />
<br />
<br />
PLEASE <u>do NOT sign up unless you are </u><b><u>committed</u></b> and able to have everything posted on time. If you would like to seen an example of what is expected, click <a href="http://junglelearners.blogspot.com/2014/11/gobbling-up-product-swap.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> for an idea.<br />
<br />
This Product Swap will go <span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><u>LIVE on Saturday, April 25th!</u></b></span>
That means you will need to have your blog post ready and live on that
date. If, for any reason you will not be able to do that, please wait
until the next swap to sign up.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Welcome to the second Stop, SWAP & Roll!<br />
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the participants who have put so much time and effort into making this happen!<br />

<a href="http://junglelearners.blogspot.com/2015/01/stop-swap-roll-with-giveaway.html" target="_blank"><img alt="http://junglelearners.blogspot.com/2015/01/stop-swap-roll-with-giveaway.html" border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lvLXkGe4nw4/VCMwwFoRg-I/AAAAAAAAGgs/Oht43ZZo_f8/s1600/StopSwap%26Roll.png" height="375" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I had the AMAZING opportunity to swap products with Laura from<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://differentiationstationcreations.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="http://differentiationstationcreations.blogspot.com/" border="0" src="http://i1064.photobucket.com/albums/u378/designbychristi/blogs/laurabutton.png" /></a></div>
<br />
She is seriously adorable! I love reading her blog and all the amazing ideas she has. If you're not following her blog yet then click on the cute button above to follow her! Trust me, you don't want to pass it up! <br />
<br />
Laura is a mother, wife & teacher who loves helping kids forget that they are learning by having fun!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--V3IEvTldkQ/UqKScByujoI/AAAAAAABzb8/_Y17aJdFohk/s1600/lauraabout.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--V3IEvTldkQ/UqKScByujoI/AAAAAAABzb8/_Y17aJdFohk/s1600/lauraabout.png" /></a></div>
Have you ever wondered how Laura came up with her blog/store name? Well, she is very passionate about differentiation and believes that it is important to make it easier for teachers to achieve this...That's why she has so many wonderful differentiated products in her store! <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<br />
Just like everyone else did with their partner, I got to choose one product of my choice from Laura's <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Differentiation-Station-Creations" target="_blank">TPT store</a> to share with you today. She has so many fun games and activities in her store, it was a hard choice!!<br />
<br />
Hi. My name is Melissa and I'm a play dough addict.<br />
I'm seriously a sucker for all things play dough! So when I came across Laura's <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Differentiation-Station-Creations/Category/Math-Playdoh-Mats" target="_blank">Interactive Play Dough Mats</a> I could not pass up her <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Pirates-Interactive-Play-Dough-Mats-Counting-Centers-Games-Printables-1299731" target="_blank">Pirates pack</a>!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Pirates-Interactive-Play-Dough-Mats-Counting-Centers-Games-Printables-1299731" target="_blank"><img alt="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Pirates-Interactive-Play-Dough-Mats-Counting-Centers-Games-Printables-1299731" border="0" height="243" src="https://datax.teacherspayteachers.com/thumbitem/Pirates-Interactive-Play-Dough-Mats-Counting-Centers-Games-Printables-1299731/original-1299731-1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
This is such a great hands-on approach to math and, let's be honest, what student doesn't LOVE squeezing and playing with play dough!? (AND we can't forget about all of the fine motor benefits of it too!)<br />
<br />
This is seriously jam packed with so many amazing resources! There are a lot of different ways it can be used too, which is what I love about it!<br />
<br />
Laura has included different mats to print out (b&w are also included, which is a definite bonus!)<br />
<br />
Students can choose a number cards up to 20 and make the corresponding number in pirate coins for the treasure chest by using play dough. (Of course we used yellow play dough!)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GmJ42FreMS4/VMxcVRdHyII/AAAAAAAAG0c/sKBe1I1wtlw/s1600/1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GmJ42FreMS4/VMxcVRdHyII/AAAAAAAAG0c/sKBe1I1wtlw/s1600/1.png" height="232" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
10-frame cards are also included up to 20. I found these adorable PINK coins at Dollar Tree that definitely add to the fun of this pack! I searched all over their "party section" and could NOT find any other colors! That store can definitely be hit and miss. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-J2WbRx_99XQ/VMxcXFPoJsI/AAAAAAAAG0o/LiUf9c4jBd8/s1600/2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-J2WbRx_99XQ/VMxcXFPoJsI/AAAAAAAAG0o/LiUf9c4jBd8/s1600/2.png" height="252" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Laura has also included addition cards. I love the hands on approach this allows students to have while practicing number sentences! Amazing for all your kinesthetic learners!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bTAtuJeY3vE/VMxcWEm96zI/AAAAAAAAG0g/a5hJk2iSBuM/s1600/3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bTAtuJeY3vE/VMxcWEm96zI/AAAAAAAAG0g/a5hJk2iSBuM/s1600/3.png" height="256" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
There are individual mats to allow students to make play dough numbers (you could always use a dry erase marker to draw/color the number). What little kid doesn't love making "snakes" with play dough!? They just can't get enough.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-p7eLylqqVUE/VMxcYJZ5xTI/AAAAAAAAG0s/oF7wQuHbh9o/s1600/4.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-p7eLylqqVUE/VMxcYJZ5xTI/AAAAAAAAG0s/oF7wQuHbh9o/s1600/4.png" height="250" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
After making the number, you could also use these adorable pirate cards that are included, or any other manipulative you have on hand, for one-to-one correspondence practice. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FYx_P0SEfF8/VMxcZECaxSI/AAAAAAAAG04/ZHWorFMZrV4/s1600/5.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FYx_P0SEfF8/VMxcZECaxSI/AAAAAAAAG04/ZHWorFMZrV4/s1600/5.png" height="256" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
That's not even all. Laura has included 6 fabulous extension activities to go along with the mats! Students will count the number of pirates and coins then write the number, read the numeral and draw that number of pirates, trace numbers and write answers to addition sentences. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-p-954Ozxvdg/VMxb0M82FwI/AAAAAAAAG0U/1OXoI5KUxEc/s1600/sheets.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-p-954Ozxvdg/VMxb0M82FwI/AAAAAAAAG0U/1OXoI5KUxEc/s1600/sheets.png" height="273" width="400" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
WOW! What a year this has been already!<br />
<br />
My husband and I enjoyed the holidays filled with family and fun, (I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season with your family as well!) then we packed up everything and MOVED last weekend! My husband is now starting his last clinical rotation for Grad school! WHOOP! We can see the light at the end now!<br />
<br />
Although it's been a crazy couple of weeks, we are definitely enjoying the warmer weather here instead of the snow we just left:<br />

<br />
Our internet has FINALLY been hooked up at our new place (sorry I'm just now able to post this for those who have been waiting!) and we're now unpacked and have even hung up pictures already! Yay!<br />
<br />
<br />
So last November I hosted my first Product Swap: <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lvLXkGe4nw4/VCMwwFoRg-I/AAAAAAAAGgs/Oht43ZZo_f8/s1600/StopSwap%26Roll.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lvLXkGe4nw4/VCMwwFoRg-I/AAAAAAAAGgs/Oht43ZZo_f8/s1600/StopSwap%26Roll.png" height="301" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I decided if it went well that I'd continue doing it....so here's the next one!<br />
<br />
If you'd like to participate, please read all the requirements below:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><u>Requirements to participate:</u></b></span><br />
<br />
**You MUST have an educational blog (Facebook will not work)<span style="font-size: xx-small;"> </span> <br />
**You MUST have a TPT store with at least 20 (paid) products listed.<span style="font-size: xx-small;"> </span><br />
**You MUST be willing to swap one product from your store, of your
partners choosing, with your partner (I will pair you with someone in the same grade category) and
you will get to choose one product from their store in return.<br />
**You MUST print their product, take pictures of their product IN ACTION
and then make a great blog post about it, including pictures
and why your readers can't live without it THEN post it and link it up
on the date I give you.<br />
**You MUST be willing to allow your partner to give 1 of their lucky readers your product for FREE in a
giveaway that will be hosted on your partners blog. (That means you will
also host a giveaway of the item you chose from your partner on your blog as well) I will include
more details on how to do this after you sign up.<br />
<br />
I have decided to add one more grade level this time around. (K-1 & 2-3) You can only sign up for ONE grade level, so choose the category that best fits your needs. Please make sure that whichever one you choose that you have products for that grade level in your store. (Depending on how doing 2 different swaps goes this time around, I may add another one for the next swap....baby steps people, baby steps)<br />
<br />
PLEASE do NOT sign up unless you are <b><u>committed</u></b> and able to have everything posted on time. If you would like to seen an example of what is expected, click <a href="http://junglelearners.blogspot.com/2014/11/gobbling-up-product-swap.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
This Product Swap will go <b><u><span style="font-size: x-large;">LIVE on JANUARY 31st!</span></u></b> That means you will need to have your blog post ready and live on that date. If, for any reason you will not be able to do that, please wait until the next swap to sign up. <br />
<br />
As soon as I get enough bloggers in each category, that category will close, so get in while you can!<br />
<br />

<br />
If you don't follow her already, make sure you do. She shares fabulous ideas and amazing products! <br />
<br />
<br />
I love, Love, LOVE her "<a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Stamp-It-Word-Work-Literacy-Activities-1082744" target="_blank">Stamp It</a>" pack!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Stamp-It-Word-Work-Literacy-Activities-1082744" target="_blank"><img alt="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Stamp-It-Word-Work-Literacy-Activities-1082744" border="0" src="http://mcdn1.teacherspayteachers.com/thumbitem/Stamp-It-Word-Work-Literacy-Activities-1417620803/original-1082744-1.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
First of all....ALL little kids love stamps. I have yet to meet one child who doesn't.<br />
This 44 page pack is SO engaging and fun. It's perfect for a word work center and includes a variety of pages to keep your kiddos busy! AND this will definitely help them strengthen their fine motor skills without even knowing it!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Kimberly included 35 different "Trace It! Stamp It! Write It!" pages; 26 of which are different word family pages, and the rest are sight words.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bcVKNmV4wdw/VIXlejniX4I/AAAAAAAAGvk/fxYq4A9CX_U/s1600/1.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bcVKNmV4wdw/VIXlejniX4I/AAAAAAAAGvk/fxYq4A9CX_U/s1600/1.jpeg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
She also included ABC stamp pages, beginning and ending sounds, and missing vowel pages. Seriously you guys, this pack is fabulous!<br />
<br />
My adorable 7-year-old Niece and 4-year-old Nephew came to town for Thanksgiving and when I asked them if they'd want to do this with me they were so excited!!<br />
<br />
We started out with the Trace it, Stamp it, Write it pages. My Niece worked on this one and she loved it!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FP3NEWl_Vig/VIXsf2eTuAI/AAAAAAAAGv0/fkjs3GcV92E/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FP3NEWl_Vig/VIXsf2eTuAI/AAAAAAAAGv0/fkjs3GcV92E/s1600/1.jpg" height="213" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Then we decided to switch it up a little bit. I laminated a few pages and then they used playdough to stamp the letters, and a dry erase marker to trace and write it!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-h972dGCHtxs/VIXtDLH6bJI/AAAAAAAAGv8/e7Oe0aCGHqA/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-h972dGCHtxs/VIXtDLH6bJI/AAAAAAAAGv8/e7Oe0aCGHqA/s1600/2.jpg" height="213" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
This is my barely-turned-4-year-old nephew! Didn't he do a great job!? My sister told me that he hasn't learned his lowercase letters yet, and look how good he wrote them!<br />
Proud Aunt....right here! :) <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-p5sNBjRDB7Y/VIXtDRrrZdI/AAAAAAAAGwA/ko4q_DSstuE/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-p5sNBjRDB7Y/VIXtDRrrZdI/AAAAAAAAGwA/ko4q_DSstuE/s1600/3.jpg" height="213" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
There are 2 different ABC pages included. One completely blank and one with missing letters:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
My nephew also worked on the beginning sound page and rocked it!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8B-N5g21MN8/VIXuygoN0lI/AAAAAAAAGwg/q4Ybl0rK4XY/s1600/6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8B-N5g21MN8/VIXuygoN0lI/AAAAAAAAGwg/q4Ybl0rK4XY/s1600/6.jpg" height="213" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dIY9NxV9VnU/VIXuyw6p28I/AAAAAAAAGwo/iIN8o0JmJWE/s1600/8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dIY9NxV9VnU/VIXuyw6p28I/AAAAAAAAGwo/iIN8o0JmJWE/s1600/8.jpg" height="213" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
My sweet niece had fun with the ending sound page:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IgGlzkTEtLM/VIXvE0-i34I/AAAAAAAAGw4/fKw99VIlNrU/s1600/9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IgGlzkTEtLM/VIXvE0-i34I/AAAAAAAAGw4/fKw99VIlNrU/s1600/9.jpg" height="214" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
And last, but not least, the middle vowel pages.<br />
She wrote on one page with pencil: <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-S2EWpxQUbC4/VIXvc6F1FwI/AAAAAAAAGxA/lLbuGh6WABE/s1600/10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-S2EWpxQUbC4/VIXvc6F1FwI/AAAAAAAAGxA/lLbuGh6WABE/s1600/10.jpg" height="213" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Playdough stamped another page: <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5OlH_iuWb14/VIXvdI0CrOI/AAAAAAAAGxE/94OOqLJZ3VU/s1600/11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5OlH_iuWb14/VIXvdI0CrOI/AAAAAAAAGxE/94OOqLJZ3VU/s1600/11.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
And then wrote with a dry erase marker: <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Tbov_HFrljg/VIXvdcnWiuI/AAAAAAAAGxI/XIGjbK8GVs8/s1600/12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Tbov_HFrljg/VIXvdcnWiuI/AAAAAAAAGxI/XIGjbK8GVs8/s1600/12.jpg" height="213" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
There are so many different ways that you can use these pages!<br />
Normal stamps, playdough stamps, dry erase markers, pencils....you could even use magnetic letters, letter tiles or letter stamp markers! <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Who doesn't love warm hugs!?<br />
<br />
Olaf does, that's for sure! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Disneys-Frozen-Hide-Olaf-Plush/dp/B00P1OXLHO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1417726884&sr=8-2&keywords=hide+and+hug+olaf" target="_blank"><img alt="http://www.amazon.com/Disneys-Frozen-Hide-Olaf-Plush/dp/B00P1OXLHO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1417726884&sr=8-2&keywords=hide+and+hug+olaf" border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-b2oPiilrROI/VIDER6arliI/AAAAAAAAGt4/7qSVMGsd7oc/s1600/IMG_3341.JPG" height="307" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I recently got this in the mail and was so excited! All the little kids LOVE Frozen and Olaf. I remember last year when it came out....All I heard was *knock*knock*knock "Do You Want to Build a Snowman!?......" They would sing the entire song at the top of their lungs!<br />
<br />
And then there was always "Let it Go! Let it GO!!!!!!....."<br />
<br />
I knew all of the songs before I even went to see the movie! (Are you with me on that!?)<br />
<br />
So when I pre-ordered my "Hug and Hide Olaf" in October, I was excited!<br />
<br />
When you open it up, this is what you see: <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Disneys-Frozen-Hide-Olaf-Plush/dp/B00P1OXLHO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1417726884&sr=8-2&keywords=hide+and+hug+olaf" target="_blank"><img alt="http://www.amazon.com/Disneys-Frozen-Hide-Olaf-Plush/dp/B00P1OXLHO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1417726884&sr=8-2&keywords=hide+and+hug+olaf" border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ooAqTfQ_PJ4/VIDDj0iy3RI/AAAAAAAAGts/in4vBlZbAN4/s1600/IMG_3344.JPG" height="154" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
It comes with a stuffed Olaf and a book. Now, when I ordered it, It made it sound like an "Elf on the Shelf" type of thing. BUT you could use this either in place of the Elf, or you could do it in January!<br />
<br />
When I opened it up and read the book, it wasn't quite what I was expecting. Still cute, but it doesn't preface an "Elf of the Shelf" type of thing. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Disneys-Frozen-Hide-Olaf-Plush/dp/B00P1OXLHO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1417726884&sr=8-2&keywords=hide+and+hug+olaf" target="_blank"><img alt="http://www.amazon.com/Disneys-Frozen-Hide-Olaf-Plush/dp/B00P1OXLHO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1417726884&sr=8-2&keywords=hide+and+hug+olaf" border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-y8SBk1kGE60/VIDGUlNdd-I/AAAAAAAAGuU/jM585bqGv5U/s1600/IMG_3348.JPG" height="320" width="263" /></a></div>
<br />
It starts out with Olaf telling you he loves warm hugs. He tries to give you a hug, but can't because he's in a book! He asks if he plays a game with you, if you'll give him a hug. <br />
<br />
"What game should we play? Leap Troll?" <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Disneys-Frozen-Hide-Olaf-Plush/dp/B00P1OXLHO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1417726884&sr=8-2&keywords=hide+and+hug+olaf" target="_blank"><img alt="http://www.amazon.com/Disneys-Frozen-Hide-Olaf-Plush/dp/B00P1OXLHO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1417726884&sr=8-2&keywords=hide+and+hug+olaf" border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4PzNYvQeTTg/VIDHBF4Jx6I/AAAAAAAAGuk/IXA7_8nd0-U/s1600/IMG_3350.JPG" height="196" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
"Ring-around-the-reindeer?"<br />
(These would be fun games for a class party....just sayin'!)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Disneys-Frozen-Hide-Olaf-Plush/dp/B00P1OXLHO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1417726884&sr=8-2&keywords=hide+and+hug+olaf" target="_blank"><img alt="http://www.amazon.com/Disneys-Frozen-Hide-Olaf-Plush/dp/B00P1OXLHO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1417726884&sr=8-2&keywords=hide+and+hug+olaf" border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yReNdmLjYXo/VIDG1oTiLII/AAAAAAAAGuc/6lnV_-AUciM/s1600/IMG_3351.JPG" height="201" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
"Hide-And-Seek!" <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Disneys-Frozen-Hide-Olaf-Plush/dp/B00P1OXLHO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1417726884&sr=8-2&keywords=hide+and+hug+olaf" target="_blank"><img alt="http://www.amazon.com/Disneys-Frozen-Hide-Olaf-Plush/dp/B00P1OXLHO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1417726884&sr=8-2&keywords=hide+and+hug+olaf" border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-v0bSlyqZ2Lw/VIDHpzXB_7I/AAAAAAAAGus/KN5BKSzQs5U/s1600/IMG_3352.JPG" height="205" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
In the end the book opens up when you find him and he wants a hug.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Disneys-Frozen-Hide-Olaf-Plush/dp/B00P1OXLHO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1417726884&sr=8-2&keywords=hide+and+hug+olaf" target="_blank"><img alt="http://www.amazon.com/Disneys-Frozen-Hide-Olaf-Plush/dp/B00P1OXLHO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1417726884&sr=8-2&keywords=hide+and+hug+olaf" border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yiziPpB5ipg/VIDILOdLakI/AAAAAAAAGu8/5IJ-1XP-E44/s1600/IMG_3354.JPG" height="111" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
You can then hide the Olaf stuffed animal included and find him to give him a hug.<br />
<br />
I would definitely switch it up a little bit to have it be more like an "Elf of the Shelf" thing, but I thought it was really cute and wanted to share it with you in case you want your own. Just click any of the pictures to go to Amazon and check it out for yourself!<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I am linking up with Bloghoppin' to show you what I bought during the sale!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://imbloghoppin.blogspot.com/2014/12/show-us-what-you-bought-linky-party.html" target="_blank"><img alt="http://imbloghoppin.blogspot.com/2014/12/show-us-what-you-bought-linky-party.html" border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Eq5MW3ZO5DI/VH01cgRVVZI/AAAAAAAAPxk/aSSlgYCrBsA/s1600/Slide1.jpg" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I LOVE the site wide sales, don't you!? I actually purchased more during this sale than any other sale! :s Haha. Don't worry though, my husband even TOLD me I could! (He's so great.)<br />
<br />
Since I'm not in the classroom this year I only purchased graphics this time....although I did add a TON of great packs to my wishlist for when I'm in the classroom again!<br />
<br />
I ended up making 2 different purchases (to utilize tpt credits more, of course!) This was my first purchase: <br />
<br />

I also purchased another <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Commercial-Font-License-SINGLE-FONT-348256" target="_blank">single font license from KG Fonts </a><br />
<br />
I am so excited to be part of Kelly's first "Border Hoarders Club" for January! Is it bad if a part of me, a VERY small part of me, hopes I don't like it so I won't want to keep purchasing it each month? LOL. Let's be honest though....her borders are AMAZING! I know I definitely won't be disappointed and I CANNOT wait to download the surprises each week! You still have time to join her January club...what are you waiting for!?<br />
<br />
<br />
My second purchase was all CVC graphics. If you're a fan of my "<a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Jungle-Learners/Category/Read-it-Bead-it-Type-it-Wipe-it" target="_blank">Read it, Bead it, Type it, Wipe it</a>" products, then this is a hint to what will be coming soon! <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes we get so caught up in our lives that we forget to express our gratitude for the blessings we have.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tA29THlSxPw/VGz2jVKAkqI/AAAAAAAAGr8/X2tIvvDSJGM/s1600/IMG_2227.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tA29THlSxPw/VGz2jVKAkqI/AAAAAAAAGr8/X2tIvvDSJGM/s1600/IMG_2227.JPG" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Emily Freeman, an author, came to my church to speak to the women a
couple of weeks ago. She said something that stuck with me, "You don't
just HAVE a good day....but you must SEE good days." How true is that!?<br />
<br />
No
matter what is going on in our lives each day, it is our perception
that matters. We can FIND joy in our lives everyday, we just have to
LOOK for it!<br />
<br />
I believe one of the ways to do this is by expressing gratitude!<br />
<br />
That's why I am linking up with <a href="http://primarypowers.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Primary Powers</a> today for their "<a href="http://primarypowers.blogspot.com/2014/11/super-thankful-thread-linky.html" target="_blank">Super Thankful Linky</a>"<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
First, I'd like to thank everyone who signed up to participate in my first product swap! I wasn't sure how it would go this first time around so I only accepted a limited number of bloggers. I was originally planning on having this go live before Halloween, but an unexpected family emergency occurred, so it was pushed back to today. (I'd like to thank all participants for their patience!)<br />
<br />
So, let's get down to business! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lvLXkGe4nw4/VCMwwFoRg-I/AAAAAAAAGgs/Oht43ZZo_f8/s1600/StopSwap%26Roll.png" height="376" width="400" /></div>
<br />
<br />
I had the privilege of swapping a product with Greg Smedley from<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.thekindergartensmorgasboard.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="http://www.thekindergartensmorgasboard.com/" border="0" src="http://i1129.photobucket.com/albums/m511/JenaSnowden/smedleysbutton.png" /></a></div>
<br />
If you don't already follow him, now's your chance! Just click on his blog button above!<br />
<br />
He is seriously one of the happiest people I've ever "met". He is filled with creative ideas to help his kindergarten students succeed, and they all adore him!<br />
(Oh, AND he loves glitter!!) <br />
<br />
Just like everyone else did with their partner, I got to chose one product of my choice from Greg's <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Kindergarten-Smorgasboard" target="_blank">TPT store</a> to review. Let me just tell you that he has some FABULOUS products! If you haven't had the chance to browse his store you have definitely been missing out!<br />
<br />
It was a hard choice, but I finally decided on his <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Gobbling-Up-Measurement-A-Common-Core-Aligned-Measurement-Pack-404435" target="_blank">Gobbling Up Measurement!</a> pack.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Gobbling-Up-Measurement-A-Common-Core-Aligned-Measurement-Pack-404435" target="_blank"><img alt="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Gobbling-Up-Measurement-A-Common-Core-Aligned-Measurement-Pack-404435" border="0" src="http://mcdn1.teacherspayteachers.com/thumbitem/Gobbling-Up-Measurement-1414719854/original-404435-1.jpg" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
My classes always LOVED measurement centers and I couldn't pass up the adorable "turkey ruler" included in this center.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
If you follow my blog, you know that I am actually not in the classroom this year due to my husband doing clinical rotations for school...but I was able to borrow my neighbor's daughter to be my assistant!<br />
<br />
This center has 20 different pages with fun Thanksgiving clip art. Each image has a guiding line on it to help your students measure the correct length.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Gobbling-Up-Measurement-A-Common-Core-Aligned-Measurement-Pack-404435" target="_blank"><img alt=" Stop, Swap and Roll a Product Swap hosted by Jungle Learners" border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wRx6lPrH9ao/VF1-VkB25HI/AAAAAAAAGqE/Qs_w-VpwT6M/s1600/1.png" height="243" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
There are 2 different ways for your students to measure. The first way is with individual turkey pictures. Students will place the turkeys next to each other in order to determine the length. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Gobbling-Up-Measurement-A-Common-Core-Aligned-Measurement-Pack-404435" target="_blank"><img alt=" Stop, Swap and Roll a Product Swap hosted by Jungle Learners" border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-81czyJ1RX_Y/VF1-WLofT4I/AAAAAAAAGqM/-efAfNdUMDk/s1600/2.png" height="254" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The other way is using the adorable turkey ruler. If you choose this option you could use it as an "around the room" center! (My students would get so excited whenever we'd have "around the room" centers!)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Gobbling-Up-Measurement-A-Common-Core-Aligned-Measurement-Pack-404435" target="_blank"><img alt=" Stop, Swap and Roll a Product Swap hosted by Jungle Learners" border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Aj1nkD_3oYA/VF1-bx59HJI/AAAAAAAAGqU/slyGbZIHv88/s1600/3.png" height="251" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
First, my cute little assistant measured the picture... <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Gobbling-Up-Measurement-A-Common-Core-Aligned-Measurement-Pack-404435" target="_blank"><img alt=" Stop, Swap and Roll a Product Swap hosted by Jungle Learners" border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EJaGQSZzODo/VF1-lgunYRI/AAAAAAAAGqk/Kj2fFfiXo9o/s1600/4.png" height="320" width="318" /></a></div>
<br />
Then she counted how many turkeys tall it was... <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Gobbling-Up-Measurement-A-Common-Core-Aligned-Measurement-Pack-404435" target="_blank"><img alt=" Stop, Swap and Roll a Product Swap hosted by Jungle Learners" border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bbI4VurzRSk/VF1-hxw0s1I/AAAAAAAAGqc/rx3fpMHVzVk/s1600/5.png" height="320" width="233" /></a></div>
<br />
Lastly, she wrote it down on her recording sheet. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Gobbling-Up-Measurement-A-Common-Core-Aligned-Measurement-Pack-404435" target="_blank"><img alt=" Stop, Swap and Roll a Product Swap hosted by Jungle Learners" border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uwYNl2jnO4s/VF1-pbc-4YI/AAAAAAAAGqs/FVTCHul6Y2s/s1600/6.png" height="237" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
She had so much fun doing this center!<br />
<br />
This would be a great way for your students to practice measuring. It would definitely keep them engaged and there are plenty of pictures included to keep them focused and working hard.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
What child doesn't LOVE beads!?!<br />
<br />
Why not incorporate beads into a fun literacy center for your students?<br />
<br />
That's what I've done with my latest "Read it, Bead it, Type it, Wipe it" packs! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">READ IT</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Jungle-Learners/Search:Read%20it%2C%20Bead%20it" target="_blank"><img alt="Read it, Bead it, Type it, Wipe it" border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-l0-zAoLYYGs/VCx2KCiE3RI/AAAAAAAAGiQ/CFw4CkMBc8A/s1600/40.png" height="301" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
First, your students will select a card and place it on their mat. They must determine the beginning sounds of each picture on the card to figure out each word. <br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">BEAD IT</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Jungle-Learners/Search:Read%20it%2C%20Bead%20it" target="_blank"><img alt="Read it, Bead it, Type it, Wipe it" border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-q0KKS46O5_c/VCx2yoIisdI/AAAAAAAAGiY/MVrH4BtDk9U/s1600/41.png" height="322" width="400" /></a></div>
Next, students will use letter beads to bead the word on their mat. You can use any kind of letter bead that you want but my favorite are from Roylco. The letter is the actual bead so there is no chance of it ever rubbing off like other beads might.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Roylco-Lower-Letter-Beads-Multi-Colored/dp/B000GKW552/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1412197773&sr=8-2&keywords=letter+beads" target="_blank"><img alt="http://www.amazon.com/Roylco-Lower-Letter-Beads-Multi-Colored/dp/B000GKW552/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1412197773&sr=8-2&keywords=letter+beads" border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hAUpmdcEp68/VCxujhDmbjI/AAAAAAAAGh4/TIx7VMauGcU/s1600/33.png" height="208" width="320" /></a></div>
I bought mine from Amazon. You can click the picture above to check them out! They come in both uppercase and lowercase. Right now I only have the lowercase set, but I'm sure I'll invest in the uppercase set soon too!<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">TYPE IT</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Then, students will type the word on the ipad and write it a total of 3 separate times. They can also color in the letters on the keyboard with their dry erase marker. <br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">WIPE IT</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Last, students will clear their board and erase the ipad in preparation for the next word.<br />
<br />
Each pack includes 4 different boards to choose from so you can use the ones that are best for your students.<br />

I'm also going to make holiday/season versions of these packs throughout the year.<br />

I was thinking that you'd probably like to try a sample pack....which is why I'm giving all of my sweet readers this Halloween Freebie version! It will only be FREE for a week, then it will change to be a priced product.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, due to some unforeseen events with my family earlier this month, I'm posting this a lot later than planned. I know I'm cutting it close to Halloween, but hopefully you'll still be able to squeeze it into your plans for next week!<br />
<br />
Just click on the picture below to download!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have decided to host a product swap! I've been thinking about it for the last TWO months and what I would call it, the details, how I would go about doing it and I am SO EXCITED about FINALLY posting it!<br />
<br />
After a lot of playing with words and eliminating possibilities, I've decided to call it:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lvLXkGe4nw4/VCMwwFoRg-I/AAAAAAAAGgo/-3zpxiiUtpU/s1600/StopSwap%26Roll.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lvLXkGe4nw4/VCMwwFoRg-I/AAAAAAAAGgo/-3zpxiiUtpU/s1600/StopSwap%26Roll.png" height="375" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Only AFTER I created my cute little button above did I realize that it's almost October AND Fire Prevention Week!!! Whoop!! So it ended up being perfect!<br />
<br />
Now. In order to have a product swap....I'm going to need people who are willing to swap a product with someone else!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><u>Here are the requirements to participate:</u></b></span><br />
<br />
**You MUST have an educational blog (Facebook will not work)<span style="font-size: xx-small;"> </span> <br />
**You MUST have a TPT store (or TN store) with at least 15 products listed.<span style="font-size: xx-small;"> </span><br />
**You MUST be willing to swap one product from your store, of your partners choosing, with your partner (I will pair you with someone) and you will get to choose one product from their store.<br />
**You MUST print their product, take pictures of their product IN ACTION and then make a great blog post about their product, including pictures and why others just can't live without it THEN post it and link it up on the date I give you.<br />
**You MUST be willing to give 1 lucky reader your product for FREE in a giveaway that will be hosted on your partners blog. (That means you will also do a giveaway of their product on your blog as well) I'll include more details on how to do this after you sign up.<br />
AND LASTLY,<br />
**You MUST have products for grades K-2<br />
<br />
If this swap goes well and I get positive feedback, I would love to have this become an ongoing swap (maybe once a quarter or something) and would then consider adding more people and a higher grade level as well.<br />
<br />
SO, what are you waiting for!?!<br />

Today I'm linking up for the first time with Mrs. Plemons' Kindergarten for her "Positively Pinspiring" linky!

I love finding new and different behavior management ideas! This idea from Rowdy in Room 300 would be a great way to work on becoming a team at the beginning of the year. Each table has to work together to put their apple together. Click on the picture to read more about this fun idea. This could be adapted to different holidays and themes you're learning about throughout the entire year! (I also have a <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/Junglelearners/classroom-management/" target="_blank">Classroom Management board</a> if you want to look at it for other fun ideas!)<br />

Aren't these polka dot block pumpkins to die for!?<br />
The link for these just takes you to a blog post with different Halloween decor ideas, but doesn't tell you how to make it. It wouldn't be too hard though, right?<br />

I am actually not going to be teaching this year. My husband is in the last year of
his graduate degree and we will be moving around quite a bit in the next
year for his clinical affiliations. It's been a little hard for me to
see everyone posting pictures of their classrooms and such, but it will
be good. It will give me a lot of time to work on things for my store
and blog more often to get to know all of you wonderful teachers better!

<div style="text-align: center;">
Well it's official. We moved up to Utah a few weeks ago. I was SO bummed that we moved from Vegas RIGHT before the TpT Conference! I missed it by 13 days!<br />
<br />
Next year....next year. Hopefully I'll be able to attend and meet so many of you wonderful bloggers and sellers!!<br />
<br />
Well, if you're like me, and missed the conference this year, I'm sure you've been seeing all the fun posts about all of the classes and memories that were made while there...feeling a little sad that you weren't able to go yourself.<br />
<br />
<br />
WELL, I have stumbled across a blogger:<br />
<br />

<br />
Kelly was fortunate enough to attend the conference and she is sharing all of the fun things she learned in each session!<br />
<br />
It has been so fun for me to read her notes and learn some new tips and tricks, even if I wasn't able to attend this year! Click on the following links to read her posts:<br />

Have you found any other bloggers that are posting about what they learned during the sessions like Kelly? I'd love if you'd comment me the links so I can check them out!<br />

Hope you're all having a fabulous July....I can't believe it's already the 18th!!<br />

<br />
to celebrate summer with my Top 3 Summer Goals!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">1. Pack Everything and Move</span></span><br />
<br />
YES. I said move.<br />
<br />
I have been delaying blogging about this, but I guess now is as good a time as ever to announce the bitter/sweet news that I will not be teaching this next year.<br />
<br />
For those of you that have followed my blog for awhile, you know that my husband is currently in grad school. Well....he is jumping into this third and FINAL year before he graduates with his Doctorate in Physical Therapy! (Can't wait!)<br />
<br />
His last year consists of clinical rotations and we will be moving to Utah the end of next week for him to complete them. He has one in Salt Lake City, Provo and St. George.<br />
<br />
Because of all the different locations, I won't be able to teach. <br />
<br />
I have absolutely LOVED the school that I've taught at for the last 2 years, and my heart broke when I said good-bye to my cute kinders. I'm so sad to leave all the wonderful people that I've come to know. I am definitely not the same person I was when I first walked through the doors 2 years ago and I will feel forever blessed to have worked there.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">2. Be Productive</span></span><br />
<br />
I always tend to become a little lazy during the summer. Often times I'll look back on the week and wonder "What did I do besides lounge around in my pj's!?" <br />
<br />
I want to be productive.<br />
<br />
I want to finish up some TpT products I've been working on for awhile, and create others that I have on my To-Do List!<br />
<br />
I also want to read. It's been awhile since I've read any books.<br />
<br />
I've been wanting to read a series called "The Work and the Glory." It is the story of a fictional family who travels with the Mormon Pioneers across the United States. I've wanted to read it for a long time and just never got around to it. <br />
<br />
Do you have any other good book suggestions for me!?<br />
(I'll have a LOT of time over the next year) <br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #8e7cc3;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">3. Run</span></span> </span><br />
<br />
I <u>HATE</u> running. I've never enjoyed it. But I know how good it is for your body and it's great exercise! My goal is to run a 5K at the end of the summer.<br />
<br />
I'm starting to do the "<a href="http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml" target="_blank">Couch to 5K</a>" program. If you haven't heard of it, you MUST check it out.<br />
<br />
It breaks it down week by week and you start out slow. Week one is Walking 1 1/2 minutes, running 1 minute for a total of 20 minutes. (Well, it includes a 5 min warm up walk....so I guess a total of 25 minutes.) <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml" target="_blank"><img alt="http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml" border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nZjTcaer3NI/U6CYKwtp_PI/AAAAAAAAGcY/cAD5b1J_Cy0/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-06-17+at+12.33.10+PM.png" height="107" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
It slowly increases each week, for a total of 9 weeks, but you can repeat any week if you need to. By the end of the 9 weeks you should be able to run a 5K without stopping!! (Something I've never done!)<br />
<br />
There is even an <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/couch-to-5k/id448474423" target="_blank">app for your phone</a> that costs $1.99 <br />
<br />
I usually attempt/start this each summer, but once school starts up again I stop doing it. I guess that is one perk I'll have this year! (Now I won't have an excuse to stop! eeek! lol)<br />
