Happy weekend! I am linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching for Five for Friday {on Saturday!}.
This has been a CRAZY week!
We
have had strange weather here - outdoor recess with no jackets for the
middle of January in central Virginia is very unusual! Then we had lots
of rain - with flooding in our basement at home ... to a 3 hour early
dismissal on Thursday for the soon arriving snowstorm! The week ended
with cancelled teacher workday on Friday! {We got about 4 inches of
snow in 2 hours on Thursday evening, but then the snow turned to
rain/ice, which made Friday morning very interesting!}

Since
I didn't have to go in on Friday, I got a lot of work done from home! I
finished a couple of projects for my firsties. The first is a
beginning sound game board with cards. I have created other game
boards, but this is my favorite! I can't wait to get it printed and
laminated so my kiddos can have at it! We have "Fabulously Fun Friday"
each week, in which our afternoons turn into game time; we usually
review a skill from the week, but sometimes I pull out comfort games for
them - this would be one of those - a skill that they know and can use
correctly (well, most of them) and a game that they would need very
little help from a friend or me.

I
started my own Facebook page for Learning is for Superstars! I would
*LOVE* for you to like the page! I have ideas for the page in the
upcoming weeks and months! Click on the image below to go to my new FB

I have been reading One Thousand Gifts,
by Ann Voskamp. Her book is changing my life! She shares how she was
very bitter after losses in her life, but a friend challenged her to
find the gifts that God gives us daily in very simple ways. I picked up
a copy of the book after my in-laws said they read it together last
fall, so during Christmas break I started in. I have started my own
list and am amazed how it is changing my attitude towards everything!
When you look for the positive in things and how God blesses us over and
over again each day, there is less time to be negative. Click here to go to Ann's Facebook page to check it out for yourself! I dare ya! Last night I added #40 - take out for dinner - no dishes!

I
am very excited about the package I received this week from Barnes
& Noble - 2 new cookbooks! I have been watching The Pioneer Woman
on TV and tried several of her recipes - which we loved! Looking
forward to more of her creations!
Have a great week!
The Pioneer Woman cookbooks have been on my wishlist to get. My sister has them and loves them. Off to check out your facebook page!

I am your newest follower! I teach first in East Tennessee and I know all about our January weather. Last week we had two early dismissal days--one for flooding and one for anticipated snow. We also had two days off--one for flooding and one for snow. The good thing is my lesson plans are finished since next week is a four day week--I'll just try again!
ReplyDeleteI love unexpected days off! But flood days are awful.

I am your newest follower! I love your monkey beginning sounds game. Is this in your TPT store? My little ones would eat this up. If I even mention the word game, they go crazy! :)

Thanks for following! Yes, the game is in my store. I also just finished a long vowel packet which is very similar to the beginning sounds game. Click the picture to go to my store.
