13 days - - Almost Graduation time

13 days left guys!!  Thirteen! Lucky number 13. That means only 2 Mondays left! In that 13 days also includes 2 early dismissal days! Woohoo!! No matter how you look at it, it's BEAUTIFUL...and a little CrAzY!!!  That means our little Kindergarten friends will be graduating!  They have worked so hard this year- we are so proud!  Here is our great Graduation packet full of Literacy and Math work, thinking maps and writing papers.

One word --- CrAzY!

 Whew! Are we the only ones a little relieved, and sad, that Sunday is over?!? The Teacher Appreciation Jackpot exceeded all our expectations. We can't wait to start using all the CrAzY freebies we downloaded. The generosity shown Sunday was overwhelming! We are proud to be a part of such a great community of teachers!

We have been talking a while about celebrating 100 followers with a giveaway! The numbers just s-l-o-w-l-y crept up. And then BAM!! we added over 50 followers in 36 CrAzY hours! Needless to say, we haven't figured out a giveaway yet! We've just been staring at our CrAzY blog stats and TpT stats all day! Maybe we should have a 150 followers giveaway?!?

We are wondering if any of our followers out there would want to donate something to our giveaway? We want to make it CrAzY good for all but not sure how to do it!  We were thinking entries could be received by following the blog and TpT store of anyone participating in our giveaway. Any suggestions? Anything work great for you? Anything bomb? We would love to hear it! Also, if you are interested in donating something to our giveaway, please leave a comment and we will email you.

Thanks for joining us, and helping us, on this CrAzY ride we are on! We are lovin' it!

Bugs, Bugs, Bugs

So dang sweet...... when the kids catch a ladybug at  recess and run to  show you..... not so much when they stomp it 40 times like its the Lochness Monster (yes this happened- and we had tears from on lookers)  If real life insects had the CrAzY cute bug eyes like those in our clip art, we might not be so ticked when the mosquito's suck our face off when we go outside.  Here is our Bugs unit Math & Literacy- LOADED with CrAzY fun activities to review and keep the wheel spinnin' up there!

Silent "e"

Silent "e" silent "e" how would we read without thee?? Silent "e" Silent "e" here it is a freebie!
 Tell the kids when the silent "e" is at the end of the word the other vowel gets so excited he wants to introduce himself and say his name!  Such a fun way to teach it! The kids giggle and get it every time after practice! This freebie is great practice! Have some CrAzY fun with it!

Weather

2 weeks ago we had 13 tornado's that touched down.  I was bound and determined to get a storm shelter that day- since my husband thought it was silly to put his family $9,000 in debt (yes that is for the deluxe model folks- to which he seriously replied "what could they POSSIBLY make deluxe about 4 walls of concrete in the ground??!!!) SO rude! we He decided against it.  Poo!  So the next tornado we have- be FULL aware I will have no peace yet again!  No tornadoes today, just some rain and wind here in good ol' Texas.  It's been pretty windy lately, and I should know because I hate the wind! I hate the wind so much I started to wonder if they ever close school because of the wind?.  Think about it.  Seriously.  There COULD be power outages and stuff like that.  YES we teach inside where it isn't windy- but just sayin'.... maybe they should reconsider.  All this CrAzY weather has reminded us that our weather unit is right around the corner so here it is.  It's Friday!!!  Yipppiee!!

CrAzY About Mother's Day!

Mothers Day

We love Mother's Day!!  Such a fun time to listen to what the kids love about their moms- so sweet, so innocent!  Our kids LOVE to talk about their mom, and especially love to write about and write to their mom. Here is our Mother's Day writing packet.  We think you will love it as much as our kids do!
