Hoppy Easter Freebie & Linky!!

Can you believe how fast time flies nowadays!? 

Before you know it the school year will be over. Somehow the last couple of months always seem to go by faster than the rest of the year. 

Trying to fit in everything in that you need to can be stressful!

Well I am here for you today to try and help alleviate some of that stress...

I have a cute little Easter freebie to share with all of my wonderful followers and I hope your students enjoy it! It could be used for morning work, a writing center, or even as a time filler when you need a little something extra.

Want to See What I Bought!?

Today I am linking up with Bloghoppin' to show you what I bought during the sale!

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.)

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!

I ended up making 2 different purchases (to utilize tpt credits more, of course!) This was my first purchase:

Snow Buddies by Creative Clips
Love Monsters by KPM Doodles
Shamrock Doodles by Creative Clips
Scrappy Number Kids by Graphics From the Pond
Doodle Page Borders and Frames by Jamie Harnar (The Itty Bitty Teacher)
Dough Clipart by Teacher Laura
Border Hoarders Club by Kelly Benefield
 I also purchased another single font license from KG Fonts

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!?


My second purchase was all CVC graphics. If you're a fan of my "Read it, Bead it, Type it, Wipe it" products, then this is a hint to what will be coming soon! 

Short Vowel CVC Clipart Bundle by Teacher Laura
CVC Middle a Words Clip Art Bundle by Educlips/Educasong

A Few Things I'm Thankful For....

Sometimes we get so caught up in our lives that we forget to express our gratitude for the blessings we have.

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!?

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!

I believe one of the ways to do this is by expressing gratitude!

That's why I am linking up with Primary Powers today for their "Super Thankful Linky"

Here are some of the things I am grateful for in my life:

Thanks for stopping by today!
I hope that you can find time to ponder about the things that you are thankful for and LOOK for joy in your life each day.

Who doesn't love Pinterest!?!

Today I'm linking up for the first time with Mrs. Plemons' Kindergarten for her "Positively Pinspiring" linky! Everyone LOVES Pinterest, and what a great way to share with each other our great finds each week! I don't know how I haven't linked up before now....oh well, better late than never right!?

If you like what you see, just click on the picture to go right to the source!

I LOVE me some free clip art....especially when its as cute as these monsters from Creative Clips! Just click the picture above to go grab them for yourself. I have a Clip Art Freebie Board on Pinterest if you'd like to check it out!

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 Classroom Management board if you want to look at it for other fun ideas!)

Literacy & Laughter came up with a "Book Lovers Club"
How cute is that!?!
What a fun way to instill the love of books in your students!

I'm loving all things Fall right now!

Aren't these polka dot block pumpkins to die for!?
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?

This is my latest product! There is one for each Dolch sight word list along with bundles. Its a great way for your kinesthetic learners to use letter beads to practice sight words.
(Look for a blog post featuring these packs with a freebie coming soon!)



If you've never linked up before, like me....what are you waiting for!?
I'd love to see your favorite finds on Pinterest this week!


Here's how it works:

1. Write a blog post containing your fave finds on Pinterest for the week. (Education related or just for fun pins are welcome, but please link to your blog post not your TPT store)

2. Please be sure the Pinterest links your sharing link to the correct ideas so people can find the source if they want to try it out!

3. Share the linky button in your blog post and link back to Mrs. Plemons' Kindergarten post for this weeks linky!
