Happy B.B. and a Freebie!

Happy Tuesday!

I'm so thankful to be sitting in my warm house with a 2-hour delay for school. Anyone else? The majority of the schools here are closed, but we are a hearty bunch and will brave the temps a little later this morning ;)

A 2-hour delay means our students will arrive around 9:30 am and they will be "hangry" - hungry and NOT happy about it! 

I'm not sure if we'll be serving breakfast, so I'm stopping by the grocery store to pick up a little something to keep their stomachs from growling! 

I'm definitely not posting a picture of what I'm wearing today! Think: ski socks with UGGs, a thick sweater with a long sleeve Under Armour shirt underneath, and Lululemon leggings peeking out from my dress pants! It's a fashion-forward statement (not).

I want to share the bulletin board I just put up yesterday featuring my sweet students' resolutions:

The writing papers and templates come from my 

Happy New Year Activity Pack:

I also wanted to share a "throwback" freebie!

Throwback Thursday: Sight Word Freebie!

Happy 4th!

I just got finished downloading the 42 freebies from the humongous FB Party...start here to follow along & grab all of yours! Through the linky, I found many resources from my favorite sellers, plus I discovered a new-to-me TPT store The Printable Princess. How did I not know about her already?

It's also time to link up with the fabulous Cara Carroll for:

My throwback is a piggyback of someone else's throwback...does that make any sense? Last week, I followed the linky and read about this FANTASTIC idea over at What The Teacher Wants. After reading the post all about sight words, I immediately hopped over to this post from Growing Kinders (♥ her!) and downloaded the adorable sight word chants.

I'm hoping you've been following along & clicking all the links so you know what I'm talking about still :)

I printed the labels and was SO excited about creating sight word sticks with my endless supply of jumbo popsicle sticks (last summer craft mistake). THEN, I remembered, I can't cut straight and I gave up after cutting ALL of the chants and gluing 4:

those purple paper scraps are EVERYWHERE!

At this same time, I saw these fun chevron (FREE) labels fromAutumn Proctor Zaminski (thank you!). I sorted through the chants...deleting & adding some more...and came up with this:

Download your set of sight word chevron labels (blank template included) here! The tumbler is from Target with wasabi tape along the rim.

Here's another look at the freebie:

There's 32 chants, 12 blanks, & 3 labels for storage.
If the above Google.docs link doesn't open, they are also available at my store here (with an added cutie product cover!)

Have a wonderful week - stay warm!
