Wahoo! Arctic Freeze, Here We Come!

Ok, so clearly we have lost our minds!  We live in Georgia people!  Absolutely...no...chance...of...ANY...Arctic....Freeze....here!  For the love of Pete, we hardly have any chance of one single darn snowflake!

Don't get us wrong!  We love some sunshine and nice mild weather!  But we do wish we could get at least a little taste of a Northern powdery snowy landscape!  Just once...for maybe a day or two...and then...maybe some more sunshine!  You know we Southerners don't REALLY know what to do when we actually get snow!

Mostly we close schools immediately...SCORE!  But driving...fuh-get about it!  Not gonna happen...at least it ain't gonna be pretty!

So the only ARCTIC FREEZE that we can probably count on 100% will be the one that hits our room this month!  We have done lots of animal units and projects over the years, but now we have prettied it all up and wrapped it with a bow...for all of you guys (and I'm not gonna lie...for us too!).

We just finished up this 90+ page unit full of games, printables, vocabulary cards, writing activities, 6 emergent readers, poems, and tons more.  We are soooo excited!  (Think "little girl with the stuffed animal at the fair" in Despicable Me..."He's sooooo fluffffy!!!!  Too funny!)

So here's a quick sneak peak!

Now... if you are thinking..."Hey.  I maybe like this.  I think I might want to do this.  I think this is the unit for me!"  Well...other than being so AWESOME...we are glad you are still  hanging around!

  So here's a big sneak peak with the 

WHOLE (almost) scoop!

Click here to grab it at our TPT store!

And if you are still here...dang it...we love you people!  So we think you deserve something FREE!  Here are a couple of goodies from the pack!

4 FREEBIES from our Arctic Freeze Pack!

         

Whether you are nice and toasty on a beach somewhere, or snuggled in from the winter cold...

We hope you have an AWESOME week!

Giveaway Winter Word Work, Post-Holiday Blues, and Which Laptop!

Hi Friends! Hope you had a great Christmas!

If you feel like us you have a little post holiday blues! Really... we shop, and plan, and wrap, and make everything perfect. Then... it's all over in the blink of an eye. Then to make things even worse, we have to take down all our beautiful decorations. :( It is so sad driving though the neighborhood after Christmas when all the beautiful lights are gone!

Well... check out my dining room decor!!! I keep it up year round! I know it's probably frowned upon and I'll be talked about, but I can't seem to take it down. Its my last bit of cheer that makes me smile :).

Also check our all our kiddos and their new toys!  What fun!

Well...on another note- it is about time for me to get a new laptop. Seriously... it... is... time! 

I have no g or h key on the laptop keyboard! Seriously!!

And the power cord slips loose all the time! Now I have duct tape (albeit...cute polka dot duct tape) taping the cord in a position so that the power will stay on. If I breathe wrong...or move- the power turns off. 

I have been reading articles about which is better a Mac or Dell. I need some input. Leave a comment and tell me which laptop will be best for all my needs including school stuff, pictures from home, and building packs for our store and we will randomly draw 2 names from the comments.

The winners get our Winter Word Work Literacy Stations and Centers Pack!  It's packed with 9+ stations perfect for your centers or word work time.  The stations include games, writing, morning work, and more!

Thanks for your help!

Winter FREEBIE and Motion Madness

Well friends! Hope you had a fabulous week with your kiddos!!! It sure did fly by! We got lots of great goodies from our cutie pies!! Can't wait to shop, got out to eat and go to the movies! Loving some gift cards :).

Anyway, while making ornaments, learning holiday rhymes, and continuing with our word work, we still had time to incorporate our unit on Motion! The kiddos had a blast! We made a motion pack with instructions for introducing several vocabulary terms as well as station ideas with recording forms! Check out some of our pics of kids exploring motion! If you need a resource for motion, check out the link below the photos :).

Here is our FREEBIE Winter Vocabulary, I have, Who Has Game :).

Our Winter Word Work Pack will be ready soon, so be on the lookout!

Hope everyone has a great vacation!
