Anyone else STOKED about SPRING!?!

I hope you have all had a wonderful St. Patrick's day today!

Did a Leprechaun visit your house or classroom? 

I'll be posting pictures this week of our leprechaun adventures!

In the meantime though....

Can you believe that Easter is only in 2 weeks!?! 

I'll be honest. Not a fan of Easter in March. 

Who gets to decide when Easter is anyway?

Well with only 2 weeks left and Spring right around the corner, I have made an "Egg-cellent Contractions" product and posted it at my TPT store for only $1.50! It includes a total of 34 contractions and their pairs in both color and black and white making a total of 144 cards!

I also included 4 whole group activities & 4 centers that can be played with these card, including a "write around the room" and "contraction peeps" {my personal fav.}

If your interested, just click the picture above to go to my store and check it out!

Her giveaway ends on March 30th so make sure to go over there before then!

Our Spring Break is next week...one more week, one more week. 

I think I might be looking forward to it more than the kids!

Check back tomorrow for another FREEBIE!!

The next one is being hosted by 123 Teach with Me. It's a Facebook page link up! Click the picture below to add your own Facebook page or to just go and check out all the amazing pages over there!

I also wanted to share a few other FREEBIE's I came across this week for St. Patrick's Day! 

The first one I'm going to share with you is from Growing Firsties. It's a BRILLIANT idea on teaching your kids about basic fractions : 1/2 and 1/4.

In fact, I did this with my kids yesterday! They LOVED it and thought it was hilarious! This is how they turned out:

This Kindergarten Pack is from 2 Teaching Mommies and includes some amazing freebies! 

100's chart hidden art, 

Pot of Gold addition/subtraction page, 

skip counting puzzles, 

word tracing strips and more!

Nicole at Mrs. Ricca's Kindergarten has posted 21....yes TWENTY-ONE....FREE math and literacy centers for St. Patrick's Day. They are all amazing! Don't miss out on these!

The rest of these freebies I found on Teachers Pay Teachers. I'm not going to give a description of each one, but click on the picture to go and check it out! 

        

Color by Odd/Even Numbers          CCVC Game board 

 
         

Color the Coins                     Writing Template 

      

 

       

  

 This is a sight word game freebie. It includes 6 sight word game boards and the 7th one is a blank board to be used with any concept! I love this!

These last two are random freebies. One is a family letter to make a leprechaun trap and the other is a fun game you can play by hiding the gold coins around your room!

I also just wanted to remind you of the two freebies I have right now. Click the picture below to go to the original posts and grab them!

I hope you'll be able to use some of these freebies! 

I'd love to hear about what fun things you do with your kids for St. Patrick's day!

Have a fabulous weekend!

"If I were a Leprechaun" FREEBIE page

Can you believe it is March!? Seriously....St Patrick's Day is in only 1 1/2 weeks, and then Easter will be a hop away. I can't believe how fast time is FLYING by!

Are your kids ready for spring break or is it just mine!? Our break will be the last week of March and I'm looking forward to it....and at the same time not. Because then the school year will practically be over! 

Well, down to business

I just made this fun page for my kids to do this next week and thought I would share it with all of you!

There is a little catch though. I just started a facebook page this weekend and would love for you to "like" it! When you click on the picture above, it will take you to my facebook page...but only fans will be able to grab this freebie! After you "like" my page you will be able to grab it. {I know, I'm being tricky, but I'll be having other facebook-only freebies, so I'd love to have you!}

{Now, I do understand that some of you may not be on facebook....that's cool! If you follow my blog then leave me a comment with your email address I will email you a copy of it!}

This is now being offered as a freebie in my store! Click the picture to go to my TPT store to download it :)

Happy Wednesday!

3- Roll and Color pages

4- Lucky Game Board for any subject. Just use your own flashcards

If you aren't one of the first three to comment, that's okay you didn't miss out completely....I'll give you a preview by giving you a free page from my new Luck 'O the Irish math center unit! (And I wouldn't mind if you also wanted to follow my new TPT store....click here if you'd like to!)
