Telling Time Freebie

I've been field-tripping

(is that a word?)

 today at a 

local nature preserve

where the

kiddos 

learned about

Tiny, the Gopher Turtle,

Barn Owls,

and an assortment of mammals native 

to our area.

We learned many new things

but this teacher just left 

"insanely tired"

and is now fast approaching 

"mentally deranged".

Would you be terribly offended if I just went straight to the freebie?

It's called

and it reinforces telling time to the hour/half-hour.  

Get it HERE.

Please consider leaving a comment if

it will meet a need in your classroom!

I look forward to hearing from you. 

It's Teacher Appreciation Week!

Today marks the first day of

Teacher Appreciation Week!

Were you recognized in any 

special way at your school?

The teachers at my school were treated to hand-delivered doughnuts  

(on a cart, actually)

to our classrooms.

I chose a chocolate glazed doughnut

(like... who wouldn't?)

and I enjoyed every teensy-tiny crumb

since my kiddos were at specials and

I didn't have to feel guilty about

inhaling a doughnut in front of them.

Some delicacies are so rare.

In other news...

our annual 
Art Under the Stars

was held a week or so ago.

While it takes a lot of preparation, the results are beautiful.

Take a peek at the art work 

my kiddos created...

 This car is my new favorite art piece. 

 This was a directed-drawing project I tried for the first time this year.
It's kind of growing on me...

and one more...

The sold sign simply means a sweet mother made a donation
to my class 
when she "bought" her child's art.

In other news...
I recently completed 
3 new products 
for my TPT store. 

There are two literacy centers.

and

Plus,
I've also been busy with my latest
Reading Street
project...

I'd love to give away a copy
(or ALL three)
 to the first four to leave a comment.  
describing how your school
celebrates teachers!

I hope the remainder of your week
is filled with unexpected surprises!
