Freebies, Fire Trucks and Thanksgiving Pie!

Hey fellow bloggers...it's been awhile...or so it seems. Hope all is well out in bloggy land. If you haven't checked out the freebies over at Freebielicious you need to go now!!

It all starts with Kinderglynn. So click on the picture to take you through a host of blogs with some awesome freebies!!! Have fun!



To finish up Fire Prevention this month, our neighboring fire station brought over Sparky and Freddie the Fire Truck.

Here is Freddie and Sparky (they talk!!) The kids loved him!

The firefighters were explaining the gear that they wear and how not to be afraid. (It was sooo cold--thanks Hurricane Sandy and the winter weather for a wonderful mess everyone is having!)

I just finished a couple of Thanksgiving Activities. So I thought I'd pass along a freebie and   show off the other activity.

First, if you downloaded my Pumpkin Sight Word Practice then you'll enjoy my Thanksgiving Pie Build a Sight Word. Same format, but now with 4 & 5 letter words. These are great for independent center practice.

Next, I made a set of Thanksgiving Calendar Numbers.

Now your freebie. Thanks for reading all the way to be able to grab it up!!

It's a number, number word, and ten frame matching activity.

Click on the picture to grab it.

Stranded and Giveaway Winner!!

Whew...what a weekend....with Hurricane Sandy deciding to make an appearance...it has, unfortunately, caused my Dad and the men's ministry team from his church to become stranded on Portsmouth Island out near Ocracoke. They are doing fine, just tired and ready to come home. So it's been quite an adventure with that, and making sure they are doing okay and have everything they need (not that we can take anything to them....)

Here is a picture that he sent me yesterday from one of his friends trucks below their cottage.                   
They were able to tow it out....but again that was yesterday...and it's still raining and whatnot....

Spiders and 50 followers!!

Wow! It's so cool to see how fast I've reached 50 followers....kinda hard to believe...be on the look out soon.....I'm thinking about a giveaway..not sure what to do yet...but keep an eye open!

Now spiders...I always forget to take pictures..I'm terrible at that because we get so busy and then it's over and I'm like...crap...forgot pics again! But this time I did snap a couple of one little activity that we did from my Spiders Math and Literacy Unit.

This an Itsy Bitsy spider activity in which the students had to locate the word "the" and later in a blue crayon, they located all uppercase letters.

And then we went through the poem and drew pictures to represent the beginning, middle, and end. 

Hehe..notice how sad the spider is on this one when he was "washed" away.

Sorry for the lighting, but here it is using the Mimio and the document camera. 

You can find this in my Spiders Math and Literacy Unit along with:

Math activities include:
writing numbers 0-20 (3 versions)
ordering numbers 0-20
tally mark cards 1-10
math mats with spider counters 1-10

Literacy activities:
rhyming cards
Itsy Bitsy Spider poems (full size, half sizes)
Retelling activity with itsy bitsy spider
