Boo'd

Dana at

nominated me to be part of this fun linky- and just in time... for Halloween! There have been some fun Halloween things that my kiddies and I have done the past week...

My kids, myself (and all the other teachers at school that walk by room!) love this little craftivity:

The first weekend it was listed for FREE and I am soo glad I snagged it! It is adorable and really gave my kids some creative writing time. It is not everyday that you get to completely pretend!! We read this book to get us started:

This book is too cute and would be great to talk about predictions too... We just read it to get into the "witch" mode!

We have also been working on addition and subtraction story problems, so I created this freebie:

So, now I guess it is my turn to Boo some other friends... Check out some of these other bloggers to hear their great ideas:

the dreaded.... evaluation... gulp

This week I had my first evaluation of the year... I would like to be nervous or have some care about it, but I just can't!

The whole week I have been... kind of... side tracked... so- whoop-de-doo to the evaluation.

I mean I felt that way until Wednesday night... when I was getting the plan together (some may say scrambling). I mean I never had time until the night before to get things together.... sorta been a slacker this week!

Anyway, I am sure the lesson was just fine... I did it on determining the operation by using keywords in addition/subtraction story problems. I couldn't find just the right book to open my lesson, so I just made a little something (you know, on Wednesday night!)...

It turned out to be cute and helpful! Here it is:

Those little detective kids are cute right? Those were some adorable FREE clipart! I found this spectacular FREE clipart site... that has quite possibly been under my nose this whole time...

(sometimes I get so caught up in buying some adorable clipart that I forget to search for free stuff!)

Anyway, the creator, Laura Strickland, is amazing because it is all free and there is so much of it! You have to click right now to see the cute graphics that are at your disposal (did I mention they are free?!?)
