What I Wore & GR Pumpkin Freebie!

Happy October 1st!

Looooove October...fall leaves, new boots, a weekend trip to Florida (in 23 days!), and EVERYTHING pumpkin. I was so excited for my favorite month, I  "may" have brought out a few pumpkin activities last week. I also received this awesome delivery at school:

Miss DeCarbo's Wordless Wednesday linky:

I ♥ this picture!
He couldn't stop smelling the flower! 

I'm also linking up with The Pleated Poppy for
What I Wore Wednesday!

Did anyone else pick up these cute boots from Target?
They are very comfy!

This was the too-huge blouse I purchased for the Work Your Wear Challenge. I like it because it's out of my comfort zone, but then I chickened out and wore this:

I chose basic black with a cute cardigan. It felt like a smarter choice because of my HUGE observation & meetings, plus our temperatures are wacky from classroom to classroom!

I can't wait for the Fall Style Me Challenge to start - I'm all registered and patiently waiting for "the list." I'll be back posting soon about some action shots from my Positively De-Frightful Math packet and here's a throwback post with a pumpkin freebie for Guided Reading:

More Guided Reading Freebies & Thanks!

It's Sunday...which means most teachers are busy prepping for the upcoming week, right?

(Quick side note: check out the above pic that's NOT blurry! Yes! I finally dug out my digital camera, long abandoned after I got my iphone...TWO years ago). 

Every Sunday, I'm dotting my i's and crossing my t's to make sure my Power Hour is set. We meet at 8:30 and I can't turn my back on this fun-loving group for even 10 seconds! That means if my sentence charts aren't ready, so be it! Every book is folded, stapled, labeled, and ready to go before those sweeties enter the room (and then reenter because they ran the first time & I make them do it again).

I've also been offering my Reading A-Z support materials as Sunday Freebies the last couple weeks and plan to keep it up! Right now we're on Level A with Level B on the horizon. If you need higher levels, be sure to click the Guided Reading label on the right-hand side. That's where you'll find higher levels, like F and G (sigh).

This week I'm using Maria Counts Pumpkins from Reading A-Z:

There's also a page for Pumpkin #6 and 7 :)

As I was procrastinating researching my blog stats, I noticed some traffic from this awesome blog! A big thank you to Looking From Third to Fourth  for sharing my math freebie!
