Presidents Day Noun Sort

We have spent this week trying to get back into the swing of things. We have put our mammal pack, a Chinese New Year and Presidents Day pack on TPT. We made this noun sort to go with the Presidents Day pack. It's a great activity that can be used as a station or as an individual activity.

Here is the Presidents Day Noun Sort

Time for Treats

Every since the holidays have been over I feel like I have completely fallen off the wagon and can not get back on. I started looking through some clip art from Scrappin Doodles the other day and found some really cute clip art so that has helped motivate me some. I used it to create a really cute math station for time. It's at our TPT store here http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Time-for-Treats. I decided to repaint my living room, move my sons into the same room and paint that room. I have finished that and I am really happy about how it turned our. My husband thought I was nuts when he came home from work and saw a newly painted living room. Now that I have finished that I plan to get moving again. Next up will be to upload our Presidents day pack and then more Horrible Harry book studies. When you are using a chapter book and want a book study to go with it what do you want it to have most of all?

Mammals and Freebie Science Fair Project!

We finished our big mammals unit and placed it on TPT. It is 73 pages and is full of literacy and math activities all pertaining to animals! Check it out!


Science Fair Projects are fast approaching! When I was teaching 2nd grade they weren't quite ready to do one on their own. This is a great "first step" in science fair project learning. Use a big piece of white paper and fold into thirds just like a tri-fold poster. Have students fill out the squares, cut out, and glue on to the paper. We would do this as a whole class activity.

Finally Back!

After a what feels like forever we are finally back to the blogging world. We figured with the start of the spring semester this meant upcoming animal units so we are starting to work on a mammal unit that I think is going to be AWESOME! Until it is finished here is a cute mammals reader. Hopefully we can get back into swing enough to get the rest of the unit finished soon.

I'm on a roll!

Horrible Harry and the Dragon War is complete! This is cute book. I have to say I did like it more than the Holidaze. This packet is 11 pages. There is a comprehension page for each chapter, a story map, a character traits page and a comprehension test with answer key. You can find the packet at our TPT store. Ok what book to do next!!!!



Horrible Harry and the Holidaze

I have always wanted to go through my chapter books and create book reviews for them. The time is now! So far we have done Flat Stanley Christmas Surprise and both Horrible Harry Holiday books.  Here is what I have done for Horrible Harry and the Holidaze. IT IS FREE! The other two are for sale at our TPT store but this is a freebie. I plan to start working my way through all my chapter books.Most of them will be for sale in our store but we will continue to add freebies on here also!
