2 Back To School Freebies!

For years I have kept a large

index card taped to the door

of my closet at school.

Then, when I run out of 

something, I just write it down.

Makes for very easy ordering for

the next school year!

I decided to cute it up a little 

and offer it as a freebie!

I hope you can use one of the 

4 templates I made!

Freebie #1

Here's another freebie!

At the beginning of each school

year, we read Chrysanthemum by

Keven Henkes.  The students take

our interview sheet home and interview

a family member about their name.

The next day, we read them aloud and

give the students a name tag to wear

for the day with the name they chose 

on their interview sheet.

I call them by that name all day

and they think it is "wildy funny"!

If, when, I slip up and call them by

their real name, they are quick to

correct me!

Freebie #2

I rarely find anything in my area

stores that gets me excited, the kind

of excited I see so many other bloggers

getting about their finds, but

GUESS WHAT I FINALLY FOUND?!?!

Yes I did! I found Scentos markers

in our Wal-Mart! Two packs of them!

I was jumping up and down in the aisle!

I am not even kidding...

ask my 6 year old!

LOVE!!!!

The kiddos go crazy for these as well!

I use them to put smiley faces, stars, 

etc. on their correct papers.

Look in my classroom and you will

see children with papers stuck

to their faces, smelling the lovely scents!

Chocolate, bubble gum, cotton candy,

lemon, raspberry and pineapple!!!

I am NOW ready for school to start!

I had already searched the aisle,

even asking an associate who came

over and helped me! We didn't see them.

I went back to that aisle so my daughter

could get her addition flashcards, looked 

down and there they were! 

So happy!!

Oh, yeah...I found a zebra striped calculator too! 

That was pretty exciting as well!

One more new product I created

for the beginning of the year.

I have done the Alpha-Bits project

for years, since finding it as an online

project. I wanted a new look for it.
