MORE SNOW?!?! & Earth Day Freebies!

Can you believe it!! 

This was the snapshot I took of my front yard and driveway this morning :( YES, more snow! Seriously old man winter, I know we live in Canada but really... it's April 15th!!!! I am so tired of winter, will this snow EVER melt?!?!

Usually on Earth Day, I take my class outside to clean up the school yard and learn about taking care of the environment, but it doesn't look like this snow will be gone anytime soon {never mind by Monday!}

So, I got busy to create more centers that I can use INDOORS! I hope you can use these freebies in your classroom. I'd love to hear from you if you snag them!

I'm Back with a bit of Africa & some Funky Pumpkins!

What can I say!? Ever since I returned from my amazing trip from Africa this summer, I've been living in a whirlwind of chaos! I'm hoping to get back into blogging more, but I'm not going to promise anything! 

I have some great pictures to share with you from Africa! It was truly a life changing experience, and words cannot express how emotional, full-filling, and rewarding my trip was. 

I fell in love with all the school children!

The school room we worked on building! 

The amazing safari adventures! 

Needless to say, I started getting a little scared being thisclose

to a lion!

For the next 2 weeks, my classroom is going to be all pumpkin themed activities! My kiddos are working on skip counting by 2's so I created this cute lil' math center for them. 

You can check out Funky Pumpkins on TPT by clicking the picture above. You can grab the FREEBIE below that is a worksheet that goes with the center. 

As a huge THANK YOU for those who continue to follow my blog despite my absence, I'm going to give this activity to my first 10 wonderful followers who comment and leave me their email address!

I hope to be back VERY soon!

Bugs, Bugs, Bugs Freebie!

This week has been a blast so far! On Monday, I kicked off my insects unit and let's just say the kiddos are LOVING it! Many of my lessons are coming from Deanna Jump's Insects Math and Literacy Fun and Kacey's amazing BUGS Math and Literacy Activities from Doodle Bugs Teaching. These units are both fantastic, if you haven't checked them out already you must!

I also wanted a math station that counted by 2's using odd numbers, so I created this little freebie below. If you would like a copy just click on the picture below and it will take you to my TPT store! All that I ask is that you follow my blog and of course I would love to have some feedback too :)
