Georgia Bloggers Blog Hop {and Giveaway!}

Hey yall!
My sweet Georgia bloggy buddies and I have teamed up to bring you a fun little hop/giveaway!


Let me start by telling you a bit about my city.
I'm in Augusta. As you can see from the map below, Augusta is a border town.
We're just a hop, skip, and a stone's throw away from South Carolina.


In fact, the neighboring town in South Carolina is called North Augusta and that is where my sweet hubby is from :)

Augusta is also home to the most prestigious golf tournament every year.
The Masters, anyone?


Every year in April, the world's greatest golfers {along with thousands of adoring fans and even some celebrities} swarm our city for a week. Our local school systems use that week as our Spring Break as well.


Most people use that week to rent out their house and get out of town.
I, however, love nothing more than sticking around to take part in all the fun :)
I've even worked at the tournament while in college {I actually waited on Phil Mickelson at the clubhouse!}.


Although growing up I always complained about how there is nothing to do around here, I honestly love this town and have no desire to move. The few years I spent in Atlanta really helped me to realize that Augusta is my home and always will be.

Okay, enough about this great city, on to the freebie!

My freebie is something I made for a coworker of mine who teaches kindergarten. She wanted some golf-themed centers to use with her kiddos before Masters week. Hope you can use them!

We {heart} Teachers.....SALE!

Hey yall! Happy Sunday!
 
This week is Teacher Appreciation Week.
 
Honestly, I don't expect to even receive one ounce of appreciation from my students, parents, or administration. In fact, I would be willing to bet that those words are not even mentioned this week at all.

Everyone wants to feel appreciated, right? And I'm no different.
 
However, I do appreciate all of you wonderful teachers!
 
And that's why on May 6-7, I'm putting everything in my store 20% off.
TPT is getting in on the action, too! Just use the promo code TPTXO at checkout to receive an additional 10% off.

Our Week in Seuss!

Hey yall! TGIF!
 
This has been a long, but fun week! Well, except for the fact that we had an unannounced meeting for an hour after school today....who does that on a Friday???
 
Anyways, since last week our school had a lot going on for Black History Month, we decided to celebrate the good Dr. this week! And boy did we celebrate!
 
Be prepared...there is a lot of pictures coming your way!
 
We started last Friday with a birthday party. We had cake, pin the hat on the cat, a Seussical photo booth with props, and then went outside to run off all that cake :)
 

 



 
We read a bazillion books and watched videos of books from this site. This site was awesome, because our school has YouTube blocked but these videos were accessible!
 
 
We made some fun craftivities, too!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I put out a ton of different math and literacy centers, most of which I had gathered from last year or from my own packs. However, I cannot share any of these with you due to the whole copyright fiasco... :(
 
 
 
 
 
We read "Bartholomew and the Oobleck" and then made our own oobleck!
 
Boy, was it messy!
 
 
 
We ended our week with a parade around the school. Some of the kiddos dressed up.
 
 
 
We made a class banner that turned out super cute, but I forgot to snap a picture of it. We had picked the book "Oh, the Places You'll Go!" for our banner, so my kiddos all wrote what they wanted to do when they grew up on balloons. I'll try and take a pic on Monday :)
 
Whew! Just looking at all those pictures is making me exhausted....good thing its the weekend, baby!!!

This unit is full of literacy activities that accompany the book "There Was a Cold Lady Who Swallowed Some Snow" by Lucille Colandro. Annnnnd I just realized I put "old" instead of "cold" on the cover file...crap. I'll fix that later.

*Rhyming Words Match: word cards and recording sheet
