My Thankful Heart {Valentine's Day Freebie}



Nothing like walking into your room on Monday morning to a fresh batch of Christmas cookies and goodies because I'm "the best teacher ever".  :)  I am so blessed to have such a wonderful class!

I have to admit that I'm feeling guilty about posting today.  There are so many families and teachers who do not get to laugh with their children this Christmas, who never get to hug them again.  All I can do is pray that God brings His incredible power to this place and brings healing to all our broken hearts.  It's so terrible, I don't even know what to say or think or do.  I can't comprehend that we live in a world where I have to wonder if my kiddos and I are safe.  All I can do is pray, and pray, and pray.

I am so thankful for my class and their supportive, caring parents; my colleagues and my friends (especially the teacher support I have found from the blogging world) and my wonderful husband and family.  I've been trying to creatively work out my feelings and I put together this heart-themed backgrounds freebie for you all, just to say that I'm so thankful for you and the work you do in the world.  I hope you can use these for your Valentine's Day creations and I can't wait to see the differences you make and the love you spread!  :)  Please click on the picture for your freebie!

Holiday Customs & Belated Friday Freebies

Saturday is here and Christmas Break has begun!  Well, in my case it's a 4 day weekend, but I'll take it.  I confess I am very jealous of my peers right now that get a two week break.  But I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and a good break, and I can't wait to see the exciting stuff you create!  :) What a busy week it has been!  Between practicing for the Holiday Song Program, doing the Holiday Song Program, recovering from the Holiday Song Program, I'm not sure how we accomplished anything at all!  But accomplish we did, and largely thanks to you, my wonderful fellow blogger teachers!  I am so thankful for the great resources you make and share, they were a lifesaver this week for sure!  Here's a look at our week of Holiday Customs Around the World: Art Snowflake Craft Stick Ornaments (Parent Gift) These turned out so great!  I poured some craft (tacky) glue a bowl and they used Q-tips to place glue onto their gemstones.  Then, they put

There's No Place Like Space: Outer Space Adventures & Friday Freebie

TGIF!!!  What a week!  I absolutely adored seeing my kiddos learn about space, but this week was a toughie.  Sick and tired kiddos do not make for a happy class.  Everything kept going the wrong way: food spilled on the newly cleaned carpets, bloody noses on the newly cleaned carpets, bathroom accidents during the middle of centers, pink-eye working its' way around the room, forgotten materials at home, the printer at FedEx Office went haywire and messed up my play-doh mats, the copy machine at work broke, I broke the side mirror of my car coming out of the garage... Yikes!  I was seriously scared to leave my house this morning!  :)  So here's hoping the stars re-align this weekend and my class comes back rockin' and rollin' and ready to learn on Monday! With all that being said, it was still a fun and jam-packed week.  I loved overhearing one of my kiddos tell his parent, "Mom, did you know the sun is ACTUALLY a star?!?!"  And I got to test out another
