Dont' Flip Out...FLASH sale

Check out our newest flipbook...“Flip Out Eat and Play Version”.  Each flip book has pictures and common kindergarten sight words. I use these books as part of my station rotation. The students color, trace, write the word in the boxes and cut the strips. The students stack the strips by matching the stars. The strips can be in any order. At the station, I include a stapler and the students staple on the star. They read their book to their station partner and put it in their book boxes. These books are great for practicing handwriting and sight word recognition. Click on the photo...it's half price until Tuesday at noon.

Another Fun Freebie & WINNERS!!

So.. my 12 year old son picked the numbers for the winners!!  How is that for a random number generator.....and they are totally random!  Here they are!!!!

Thanks Ashley Hughes for the fun free backgrounds from your giveaway!

I also have a freebie for you all today!  My classroom has a beach monkey theme so I

wanted to make a cute letter recognition game for the beginning of the year to do in

a small group setting!  

This is played just like your normal games where as long as they can identify the letter or the beginning sound they keep their cards.  If they get a nuts card they have to put their cards back into the center.

Alphabet recognition

or beginning sounds practice! 

Can I just say I LOVE those monkeys so much!!!!

Click HERE to grab it!

Now I am off to watch my son play in the Little League All Star championship game!!!

If we win we are off to sectionals!  He assures me we are going all the way to the Little League World Series!  I hope so!  LOL!

Freebie For Your Friday! And...Bloglovin Giveaway!!!

Happy Friday!  I have a freebie for you today!  It is just a little Brown Bear, Brown Bear fun that I whipped up.  Again....I am thinking of the beginning of the year and the process of teaching literacy centers/stations so it is super simple...but gets them in the habit of recording on a recording sheet.  The kiddos will pull out a card, find the matching animal on their recording sheet, color the animal, and trace the color word.
