Resolutions links!

I have been working on my 13 in 13 post for a while now but I haven't gotten it finished. I will! I'm determined. But meanwhile I'm participating in the party over at A Peach for the Teach. I tried out a new app that hopefully I will blog about soon. I have been enjoying my break and doing nothing school related. But it's time this week to get some projects finished. That seems to be my downfall. I desperately need to get my fluency homework unit 2 completed. So hopefully with the aid of Netflix I can get some work done this week. So here are my resolutions for the upcoming year:

Be sure to head over to A Peach for the Teach and check out everyone else's resolutions.

Christmas Cheer!

I'm a little late in posting all our Christmas fun but I took a bunch of pictures that I wanted to share.

This is our elf, Arthur! The kids and I had so much fun with him. I think he's cuter than the Elf on the Shelf but I might be biased!

This was my favorite antic he pulled. He brought us Wrapped Christmas books one day and our leader each day unwrapped one. We read Aliens Love Panta Claus and then the next day Arthur decorated the tree in underpants.

This was Chris and I's third Christmas together. I had a prelit tree I put up before we got together. Now we go get a real one and decorate it together!

Here are some of the centers we did the last few weeks of school. Some had a Gingerbread theme!

I love my sensory bin this month. It was all holiday and Christmassy!

For math we read a poem 5 little Ornaments! Then they wrote their own subtraction problem.

More of Arthur's antics. The Gingerbread man showed up and stole our cookies. We had to go search for them.

This is my sweet niece elfed! She came and stayed with Chris and I one night which was a lot of fun. I took this picture and then elfed it. I. I took my iPad to school and let all the kids elf a picture of themselves. We then made Christmas cards for their families!

Arthur wrapped our door for his last hurrah!

I made these goodies for our class party. It was the calmest party ever. My sister brought my niece and it was a lot of fun.

We had our first annual tacky sweater contest. I should have won but I wasn't in it since I organized and got the prizes.

These are all the presents under our tree! I enjoyed all the wrapping and buying this year.

We got my dad a skateboard and my niece got a tricycle. They were funny trying them out on Christmas Eve!

Here is my fruit tray I made for Chris's grandmother's house. I think this is my new job. I made a turkey at Thanksgiving so I was asked to make another.

My hubby bought me this beautiful buttery leather for Christmas! I've been wanting my very own Micheal Kors purse! I love love love it!

This was the pic we used for our Christmas card! I hope you and yours had a very  merry Christmas! I am blessed beyond my wildest dreams!

You might remember me posting about a student at my school who was diagnosed with brain cancer almost a year ago. His dad teaches with me. We'll he passes away early Christmas morning. My heart is so heavy for the family even though I know Regan is with Jesus and suffering no more. Please say a prayer for this family!

Turkey Time! and a freebie

I haven't blogged in way too long! I hate it. I miss chatting with my bloggy friends. Life has just been too busy lately and I haven't had the energy to blog much. But I'm hoping to catch up over my Thanksgiving break. I'm so jealous of all you that have the whole week off. But I'm thankful for my 2 and a half days off I have. I was talking to one bloggy friend who only gets Thursday off. I am in need of this break badly. Anyway, this is just a quick post to share a freebie for those of you that are in school this week too. It's a color by sight word page that reviews some sight words from journeys. We just finished lesson 11.

You can click here to get the freebie on google docs. 

I also have a freebie in my tpt store that is a fun counting activity with a Thanksgiving theme. Check it out here. 
Even though it would be nice to have the whole week off I'm going to enjoy the days I've got with my kids. I sent home the Disguise a Turkey project a few weeks ago and it's suppose to come back tomorrow. I've gotten a few in and can't wait to see them all. So far they are looking good. Wednesday for our half day we're going to have a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Feast with our Fourth grade buddies. We'll watch the dvd and then compare it to a book. Then feast on popcorn, jelly beans and pretzels. It should be a good day. Hopefully over the break, I'll have the chance to share what we've been doing with our buddies. We've had a blast with them lately and learned a lot. So how long do you get for a break? If you are going to be in school this week, what do you have planned?
