We Are Laughing So Hard...and a Freebie :-)

Hey there! Kristi and I are actually together right now. We haven't seen each other since Christmas break, and we are having such a good time. It seems that we just pick up right where we left off...which, of course, explains why we are teaching besties.

What brings us together? 

Other than spring break, I mean.

Well, we actually reached a TPT milestone recently. We can hardly believe it! THANK YOU to those of you who have supported our store. We are humbled to think that there are teachers who enjoy our resources as much as we do.

So...we have a FREEBIE for you! Hooray! 

This is one we have been thinking about for awhile. We always introduce sounds one at a time and love the targeted practice that our games offer. However, this year I've been working with Kindergarten and they are now ready for something that covers all of the short vowel sounds in one game. Kristi thought this was a great idea and plans to use it at the beginning of first grade for review.

We hope you are enjoying a wonderful Saturday! 

 

Five for Friday - ON FRIDAY!

Wow! 

This has to be some kind of record. 

Me posting my Five for Friday (thanks Doodlebugs!) post ON Friday. ;-)

This just happened. YIKES! 

If you've followed our blog long enough, you know that I wrote a Bible study and have been seeking publication. This last school year, I came very close...asked to make revisions and resubmit, etc. It is always a long process. In the end, they had just put a contract on something similar and had to pass on mine. Anyway, I had been dragging my feet to submit to publishers again. But I did. And now we wait--and pray!

I have discovered hashtag shopping on TPT. 

This could be dangerous! Ha! 

I picked up five fantastic resources this week for $1 each. 

Yep! 

That is right! 

$1 each!

Here's what you do: 

Go to TPT and type the specified hashtag (today it is #freshsqueezedfriday) in the search box and watch the $1 items appear.  

The Primary Punchbowl invites others to join in their sale, so I marked down Connect Four Short Vowels Mega Pack to $1. ONE DOLLAR!

 

Now if you don't follow me on Instagram, you should because that is where I would have given you the heads up on Tuesday! The Big Heartland Bloggers have teamed up and on Tuesday we offered $1 deals with the hashtag: #bhbdollardeals. Kristi and I had one of our new Wonders packs marked down to $1! We're planning to do it every Tuesday (at least for now).

Call me a dork if you want, but here I am with my arm in the air! Whoop! Whoop!

Therapy has been a killer, but I have made AMAZING progress in just four days since being allowed to actively use my shoulder.
 

I'm even capable of doing a weird, little, side pony-tail unassisted! LOL!

What do you do when you go to the school--which contains the town's tornado shelter--after the sirens go off? 

Work, of course.

These are some of the new books for our library. I helped unpack while we waited until it was safe to go home. No tornado touched down here, but other towns were hit. :(

Pre-tornado siren, I was feeling very motivated to pull a late night diving into my Wonders curriculum. The new colored gel pens and sticky notes helped. Ha!

Post-tornado siren, I came home and went to bed!

That's five! 

Hope you have a great weekend!
