As I was lying in bed last night (wide awake at 2 am) I was thinking about a photo shoot for Mother's Day. You know I love changing things up from year to year....especially when I have siblings. So this is what I came up with last night & it actually turned out better than I thought it would.... LOVE IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS! I had sidewalk chalk leftover from last year's photo shoot on our last day. Did you miss that??? Check out this fun filled post HERE. Anyway, my student teacher and I went to town this morning. I was sweating..yes I worked up a sweat trying to get this masterpiece done in the 10 minutes I gave myself before the kids arrived. Turned out pretty adorable if you ask me!

Daily Summer Journal Freebie & Mother’s Day fun!

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 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 Mother’s Day Card Idea!
Due to budget cuts & no longer being able to ask for "gift" donations, I had to come up with something. If I was a mother, & hope to be one day, I would love this gift! I used an 11x17 piece of pink construction paper & folded it in half. Paint both hands BUT DO NOT paint their thumbs! Make a "heart" shape. This is a view of the inside of the card. How adorable is this?!? I showed my kiddos this as their example. I included pages for mom, stepmom, grandma or aunt! I will have this for ONLY $1 on TPT TONIGHT ONLY! Check it out here for $1! … [Read more...] about Fabulous Mother’s Day Card Idea!
