They Say It's Your Birthday!


Well, it's my birthday too yeah!
No, not really!
Just singing along.

How fun is this video!
I know the students are going
to LOVE dancing to this song!
I am for sure adding this to our
must-do list for birthdays.

Since it is YouTube, please make sure
you mute the ad in case one happens to pop
up at the beginning.  It hasn't for me
(I watched it twice to check the content)
but I learned the hard way. I was
getting ready to show a video when
an ad came on that talked about...
nah....I just can't type it!

Sorry! 

You will have to use your imagination!

On to the freebie!

Thank you to Fern for featuring
and for hosting this linky every week
and also to Charity for Manic Monday!



I am offering the following
 3 pages as freebies.

The student puts the birthday song
in their poetry binder and the other
two pages are covers for a 
birthday book.  I print mine on 
different colored cardstock.  
Students write a friendly letter to the 
birthday child and then I bind 
or staple it together.

Check out this amazing giveaway!
I use her fonts for just about
every product I make! 
Love them!

Click the picture to enter!













I ordered this book at the end
of the school year because it
looked fun...and it is!

It is a nonfiction book that
teaches facts about 11 different
animal teeth and gives a fact
about what it would be like if we had
those teeth.  The pictures are 
wonderful and the illustrations are
hilarious! I read it to the students
just for fun and they loved it!

I knew I would be adding it to
our study of animals, so
I created this product to go with it!

2. No pictures of this will be shown,
HA!
but my oldest daughter had all four
wisdom teeth pulled today and was
put under for it.  So imagine her in
the truck afterwards and as we hit
the freeway headed home, my
youngest projectile vomits!
We had an hour drive!
Oh, it was comical!

Someone reminded me that
it is Friday the 13th after all...
and a full moon!



3. Two weeks into summer break
and it's still chilly here!
Seems the average is about 67
degrees.  Might not seem so chilly,
but when I have kiddos wanting to swim....




4. I have a pile of books that I have been
saving to read....and haven't even started one!
Seems like there is always something else...
laundry, errands, loopy daughter and 
kids throwing up....


5. Okay....wasn't going to share some
of the funny things my daughter said...
and I don't normally share personal things,
but it was a riot!

*The following statements are 
in her words.

-I'm going to marry that doctor.
(my middle daughter asked if he was cute)
-I don't know, I couldn't see him.
-I look like Santa.
(White ice pack around her head)
-What's this? (Pointing at her chin)
-Who mows that? Dad can for vacation money.
(talking about the median along the interstate)

She also kept insisting they didn't take out
her teeth and laughing about her job
calling her and asking her to work.

Life sure is never boring around here!

Snowmen in Summer?


Any of you living where
it snows, or was unbelievably 
cold this winter, may not want
to think about SNOW or snowmen.
When I saw this linky though, I 
knew I had to add my favorite 
snowmen books and the freebie
I created.  It is one of my older
products and probably need to
update it, but it's free and it works!




As a child, I always believed
the snowmen we built came to life 
while we slept at night, so these
books take me back to my childhood
and they spark imagination in the students!
