I hope you all had a wonderful New Years Eve and New Years Day!! I have to go back to work tomorrow, so my New Years Day has been filled with Target shopping, laundry, newsletter writing, etc. Not exactly relaxing, but it will be good to be back in the swing of things again. We had SOOO much fun last night watching football and some motorcycle jumping thing (the boys) and playing Pictionary and Taboo (the girls!) At midnight, we went outside and it was wicked foggy, which was weird and wacky. All the kids lit sparklers and ran around like maniacs! See exhibit A...
And Exhibit B...
I hope the neighbors weren't TOO annoyed with all our shenanigans!! All in all, it was fantabulous and I cannot believe it is 2012 already!!
I have a little FREEBIE for your Lit Centers! My firsties will be working on writing Super (who, what, when, where, and maybe even why) Sentences when we go back tomorrow (is it really tomorrow?? I think I'm in denial still!!), so I created this little chart for them to use to get their Super Sentence brains working....
Anyway, back to the center directions. I plan on having my kids use the chart, choose a word from each column to write SUPER sentences in their little books, and then illustrate their sentences. Easy Peasy lemon squeezy!! If you click on both pictures above, you can get your very own copy of the chart, AND the cover + writing paper for the book! TADA!! Instant writing center!!
For those of you who get to sleep in and watch the Rose Parade/Rose Bowl game tomorrow, well PIN A ROSE ON YOUR NOSES! :)
Just kidding...enjoy every last second of your break!! I will try not to be TOO jealous!

Big bummer you have to go to work tomorrow. I thought since the parade was here in CA, it'd be a national holiday or something! Here in the IE, we don't go back til the 9th. One of the perks of teaching out here in the boonies! Good luck tomorrow!
Love this freebie!!
Happy New Year!

I LOVE this and have that font too! Of course, I currently have 1,222 fonts. Have you seen the font "Frosty"? It has snowflakes and is VERY CUTE!

This is fabulous! Thank you so much!
This was perfect!! I had already revamped my center work for my students this week and this was the ideal activity for writing. I've done something similar in the past, but not this good. I would love, love, love it if you did some more...(hint, hint)

My name is Diedra jcotphoto@aol.com I tried to download your penguin game and was unable to do so. Is possible to send it to me? I really want to use it to help my second graders. Thanks so much
