Some of my blogging BFF's from Freebie-licious and I are doing weekly Summer linky parties. We hope you will stay tuned & gain lots of ideas for next school year! I posted a few sneak peek pictures on my last blog post. We had a totally peaced out partaaay! I had the BEST class this year & they worked so hard...plus they filled our classroom bucket full of nuggets which means....partaaay! If you don't follow me on INSTAGRAM, you should. I post pics immediately on there & I am kind of addicted....really? Like I need another thing to be addicted too! JEEZ! Here is how it started............... Well, it started last year when I changed my classroom from a Dr. Seuss theme to a peace/hippie theme. My little nuggets, even the boys, slowly became obsessed with peace signs, tie dye, flower power...yo! Seriously, I should have been born during the 60's. I've always been a closet hippie since high school...don't laugh. My husband and I still … [Read more...] about End of the Year Ideas Summer Linky Party- Week 1
EOY Awards using candy bar wrappers!
So I decided to whip up something a little different for my little nuggets. I threw them a major bash which was most of their EOY gift from me. With the help of some fabulous room moms the kids had a fabulous EOY peace party....that is a whole other post. I'm all about quick, cheap, & easy with 2 days left. Above gives you the directions on how to wrap the candy bars. You can use a glue stick or Scotch tape, either one looks great. I simply filled out the awards, signed them & wrapped them in 30 minutes. After our peace shindig I completely wore myself out & am now sick....BOO! I need quick, cheap & easy. Here is a sneak peek of 24 out of over 50 awards to choose from. I just know my students are going to LOVE it! Aren't they precious??? They are on sale at my TPT shop. Click on any pic above or HERE to grab your own set. OK.....I JUST HAD TO POST SOME OF OUR PEACE PARTY PICS...I JUST CAN'T STAND IT. I AM SO … [Read more...] about EOY Awards using candy bar wrappers!

Daily Summer Journal Freebie & Mother’s Day fun!
The following is a freebie gift idea for your students. Personally, I will give each of my students a spiral notebook to use as a summer journal. I made my little nuggets journals all.the.time! I don't assign them anything to write at home...they want to write at home! I have some very exciting writing activities I have created to share with you this summer. This cover I would use with a construction paper journal. Simply fold a large sheet of construction paper "hamburger style" and insert writing paper. This cover is small to fit on the front of a composition notebook. These are very reasonably priced during back to school sales. This is the cover colored & pasted on a spiral notebook. These were purchased for a penny EACH! I always stock up on these every time I see them on sale. The other side of the cover has these journal writing tips that they can also color. We had so much fun getting ready for Mother's Day this … [Read more...] about Daily Summer Journal Freebie & Mother’s Day fun!
Fabulous Feedback
I am linking up with the fabulous Christina Bainbridge for a fabulous feedback linky! I love reading each & every feedback I receive on my products. They really touch my heart! If you see your name in the following products, you can choose ANYTHING from my TPT Store just to show how much I appreciate you! The above product is a top TPT product. My students are absolutely OBSESSED over these. They loved them so much & I received so many requests for more, I ended up making 65 more! I have created two units so far. The amount of work and hours put into them are insane! I WILL DO a Fall-a-licious unit but it will probably take me ALL.SUMMER.LONG. I do appreciate the feedback received on my spring & winter units! If you click on the Candy Land tab above it will take you to the nearly 100 games I have created! I have a HUGE to-do list this summer to make more!
