My *NEW* Favorite Decor And a FREEBIE, Too!

A few weeks ago, I shared my new Alphabet Pennants.  I needed a new alphabet for my room in the WORST WAY!  I think my other alphabet is about 10 years old.... still in good shape, but still.... I need a change!  Well,  I have created a few more pennant sets! I wanted to make sure that I shared them with you first! 

I created Brights:

and Owls with stripes!

Can you tell that I have pennants on the brain?  I decided on the chevron set for my classroom!  I'll post pictures as soon as I have them up!  I think it is my favorite classroom decor for this school year!

In the meantime, here is a little FREEBIE for you!

Five for Friday

It's Five for Friday time with Doodle Bugs Teaching!  I know it's really Sunday.... but I am having too much fun on my three day weekend!  Better late than never!

Here we go!

 

 We have been busy writing our goals for the new year!  My kiddos are doing a super job writing paragraphs with a lead in sentence, three details and a wrap up.

 

 

We used our JUICY adjectives to tell about what it would be like if we lived in a snow globe!

It was SNOW much fun!  (Sorry, I couldn't resist!)

 

We also wrote about Winter.....

 

 

Too many days of indoor recess!  I need some new indoor recess ideas!  What do your kiddos do for indoor recess?

 

I am in LOVE with my Snow Leopard Blanket!  It was one of my favorite gifts!

 The blanket can be microwaved or chilled!  So Comfy!  It smells like lavender.  I can't begin to tell you how much I am using it this weekend!  Do you want a blanket like this?  You can get one HERE.

Oh, I forgot to mention the matching slippers!  (And yes they can be microwaved, too!)

I have a FREEBIE for you! 

You can get it at my TpT store!  Just Click HERE!  I'd love to hear what you think, so please leave some feedback if you download it! :)

A Freezing Week and A FREEBIE!

Thanks to the freezing temperatures in “Chiberia”(as all of Chicago was called this week), we did not have school for two days.  What did  a girl do for those two days, you ask?

1.  I truly learned what cold is after -50 degrees with the windchill!  (And I never want to experience that again!)
2.  I stayed in comfy cozies!
2.  I watched a mega marathon of "Breaking Bad" on Netflix.  Love that show!
3.  I created  some fun new stuff for my classroom (more info coming soon.....)
4.  I gave my blog a quick new look....  It's a constant work in progress!  What do you think?

and best of all.....

I created a new Facebook Fan freebie for you!

You can get this freebie by going to my Facebook Fan Page (HERE). Be sure to "like" the page and click the icon that says "Fan Freebies!"

Were you off this week?  If so, what did you do?

Happy Holidaze!

Ho! Ho! Ho!  To get in the holiday spirit, I am linking up with Michelle from  Fabulous in First to answer some fun holiday questions! 

Hot Chocolate or Eggnog? 
I'm a total chocoholic!  I love hot chocolate.  Throw in as many marshmallows as possible, please!  I love when you get to the bottom of the mug and all that is left is the ooey gooey marshmallow goodness!  

Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them underneath the tree? 
My husband and I discuss this question EVERY Christmas!  When I was growing up, Santa was way to busy to wrap presents!  He left goodies under the tree.  Unwrapped.  I wonder if  Santa did this so we didn't have to wake up Mom and Dad early in the morning?  

If you ask my husband this question, I know he will tell you a different story!  ;)

 Colored lights or white?
 I love white lights!  Classic!  

When do you decorate? 
I have to eat turkey before I decorate.  I can't look at Christmas things in the store until the day after Thanksgiving. No, I did not go out shopping on Thanksgiving!  I can only do one holiday at a time!    

Real or Fake Tree? 
When I was a kid, we always went to a tree farm and chopped down a tree.  Over the years, I have developed a terrible allergy to trees.  I touch a Christmas tree and break out in hives.  It's awful.  I get allergy shots... meds...  it's awful.  I'm itching now, just thinking about it.   While I do miss the smell of a real tree, a fake tree isn't that bad.  No needles.  No watering the tree.  Sometimes a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do, ya know?

What Tops Your Tree? 
We have an angel on the top of our tree.  It was given to my by my nana.  Love it.

Favorite Christmas Memories or Traditions? 
I love baking.  I bake for days over the holidays.  My all time favorite, must bake Christmas treat would have to be Thumbprint Cookies.  I use my Great Grandmother's recipe.  They are buttery goodness filled with butter cream frosting.  To. Die. For.  My dad says he won't let me in the door if I don't bring them on Christmas!  

Do you remember your favorite gift as a child?  
I would like to say that it was the Barbie Dream House.  You know the one.  It had an elevator. I would really like to say that....  but I can't.  I never had one.  I wasn't allowed to have a Barbie.  Can you believe it?  Not allowed.  I can't talk about it.  I'm still in therapy about it.   (insert violin music here....)  

Do prefer giving or receiving?
 Giving for sure!  I think that I would have made a great elf.  And isn't that what Christmas is all about?

What is your favorite Christmas song?
Winter Wonderland

 Candy Canes. Yuck or Yum?
Yum!  I love anything peppermint!  Especially around the holidays!

 Favorite Christmas Movie? 
A Christmas Story.   Hands down.  The end.

Do you shop online or at stores?
Both.  Online is so much easier.  No crowds.  You can stay in your comfy cozies.  Drink coffee and click away. There are times you just have to go out and get in the mix of the hustle and bustle.  

 Photo Cards, Letter or Store Bought Card? 
I love photo cards.  It's great to see all of my friend's kids!  Sometimes I have them on the fridge all year! 

The holidays are all about giving.  So, I have a gift for all of my blog world friends!  My kiddos have been having fun writing letters to Santa and I thought I would share all of the fun with you, too!  There are two graphic organizers, each with a different topic.  Students may choose to tell Santa how they have been a good boy or girl, or they may tell him all of their Christmas wishes.  There are also two types of writing paper to choose!  Enjoy!  Click HERE to get it!

I have five more "wake ups" until Christmas vacation!   Whoo Hoo!   No big plans for me.  I just want a little R & R! 

I'd love to hear what you have planned this holiday season!
