Hi Everyone :) I'm feeling a bit out of touch lately! I had high hopes for this winter break and it seems as if things are not getting accomplished like I wanted them too. I have been having too much fun with the little guy at the top there :)
Santa was good to us all this year. I got a new camera from my hubby so now I can share more pictures! How about you? What did you get?
I have a zillion projects swirling around in my head and can't seem to get rolling on ANY of them... not to mention the disasters all over the house that need to be cleaned/organized/picked up! Ugh.
So instead of working on school related projects I have resorted to my son's 5th birthday invitations:
Those of you who have children or grew up playing Mario Bros may recognize this :) My son is a HUGE Mario fan. So, when the mushroom comes out of the question mark box the invitation is attached. Cute right?? My son shares his party day with his cousin who is 2 weeks older than him- so we are also doing a Ninja Turtle theme for him. I'm working on getting pizza boxes for the favors that will say "Cowabunga Pizza" on them or something like that :) I'll share when I get them finished:)
When I get my booty in gear, I have LOTS of ideas ... one will be a "Set 2" for my word problems.. these will be more challenging and great for the second half of the year. Also, I have some GREAT President's Day projects and winter projects (including a cute snow globe project I will share in the next post). Finally, I want to create some more writing wheels and some more advanced sounds to go along with my long/short vowel packs.
Have you made it this far?? If you have... thank you! I was just saying to another blogger that it is so nice when people visit and leave comments so you know that people are actually reading your blog posts :) I am also guilty of reading/stealing ideas and not leaving a comment to say I was there. I will be trying harder with that in the upcoming year. So I am going to do a quick giveaway here...today! Just leave a COMMENT- I'd love to hear about a post you've enjoyed reading on here...or a future blog post idea. I will chose a random commenter to win any product from my store AND $10 to either TpT or Target!!
Thanks for reading... YOU are what keep me sharing and pushing me to get better at what I do!!
Winner will be chosen Sunday night (12/30)!
Just letting you know that I read your blog! I agree it is great to get comments. I am trying to decide what to do on my break. Do I declutter junk drawers and closets or work on school stuff?

DeleteI adore your son's birthday invitations! Too cute!! I am also guilty of being a non-commenter... although, Christmas break has certainly given me a lot more time to comment! I always enjoy your blog posts-- loved the one you did recently about mysteries! Have you read The Pine Park Mystery with your class? It's written in the form of a play and my 2nd graders always enjoy it! Enjoy the rest of your break!!
