They Say It's Your Birthday!

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!

for flash freebies, giveaways and ideas!

        

Thank you to Fern for featuring

Once Upon a Noun Sort

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.

They are part of this packet.

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!

Here are a couple of my newest products if you are interested in checking them out! Click each picture!
I just know they will be totally engaging!

Fabulous Fairy Tale Giveaway!

1. My big giveaway!

a Rafflecopter giveaway



Enter to win and live "happily ever after"  knowing you have fairy tales and many common core skills covered!
Click each picture to check out over $20 $25 worth of products that one  lucky winner will receive!

 I just finished this product and

added it to the giveaway!

This product is not based on a fairy tale

but has the fairy tale characters 

in it and I created a sight phrase game

using the characters!

My Once Upon a Noun Sort

packet is a freebie!

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!
