Valentine's Day ABC Path FREEBIE

Here is a fun way to practice upper and lower case letter identification with a Valentine's Day twist!

Students must color a path in ABC order from heart to heart.

I included both an upper and lower case version!

A Scare and Versatile Blogger

Well this post is long overdue.  I was hoping to complete it last night, but unfortunately my German Shorthaired Pointer started to bloat so I was busy trying to keep her calm and get her to sleep. This came on suddenly (as it usually does, we were just sitting on the couch snuggling after my little one went to bed and she started the symptoms). Although she has undergone surgery and her stomach is tacked, it does not completely eliminate the gases from entering her stomach. It scares me each and every time it happens, but I am happy to say she is doing fine and is snuggling with me again now!

Here is a picture of my Saydie.

Anyhoo the point of this post is I really want to take the time to thank two wonderful authors who honored me with the Versatile Blogger Award!  

THANK YOU
Mrs. Durden from

and 
Cara from

Thank you again ladies!  I apologize it took me so long to recognize your kindness!

Love Bug Letter Identification

I just LOVE my newest product!  Not only because it is geared toward Valentine's Day, the day to celebrate love, but because it is a LOVE BUG theme.  Do you have a love bug of your own?  My daughter loves to cuddle and snuggle, so I have always called her my little love bug!!

Here is what is included in this letter identification pack:

-  Upper and lower case letter cards with cute little love bugs!  (I made these smaller than I have in previous packs.  I thought I would try to fit more on one page to save paper and possibly some ink.)

-  Upper  and lower case letter matching worksheets with hearts.
-  Upper and lower case Letter Mix-Ups.  This is where all of the letters in the alphabet are listed in random order all over the page on other cute love bugs.  (This is a new inclusion to the pack, previously I have separated them.)

Click on the picture blow for the shop of your choice!

Oh!  I almost forgot to mention that I used my own graphics in the pack too!  No, I didn't create all of the cute little love bugs.  Those were all created by the My Cute Graphics.  Instead, I created the hearts shown on the worksheets for the students to color in.  

~ Enjoy!

Most Supportive Bloggy Friend

Little Miss Kindergarten is hosting a FUN linky party to thank those bloggy friends who have been the most supportive to you!

I want to start by thanking my most supportive bloggy friend and best blogging buddy, Annie from The Moffatt Girls.  Annie and I connected instantly!  She is an amazing mom and educator and has an incredible blog that you must check out if you haven't already!

Now, I hope this isn't considered "cheating" because I am thanking more than one blogging buddy here, but I also want to thank the authors for Teaching Blog Addict, especially Tamara and Leslie who are always busy behind the scenes, helping to support each and every author.  The support I have received from these ladies has been amazing.

I feel so lucky to be part of the blogging community as a whole!  There are so many inspiring blogs and supportive authors out there that it is hard to choose only one or two!

Snowman Love Sight Words

This morning I have been busy creating and uploading a new product that you can use throughout the winter months and even Valentine's day, to help reinforce the basic sight words our kindergarten students are learning.  

(Let me just add that I didn't make it to the gym this morning....oops!)

 It includes 45 of the earliest sight words separated into 5 different sets along with worksheets to go along with them.  

(The words are listed in the order in which my students are introduced to them through the reading series my district currently has in place.)

Each set of sight word cards contains 9 words.  I labeled each set as A1, A2, A3, A4, or A5.  (These labels are also on each card, so that they can be separated easily if the cards are mixed.)

There are also 8 different worksheets for the students to find and match the words.  Each set has a worksheet (a total of 9 words on each page) and there are also worksheets where two sets are combined (for a total of 18 words on the page).  I also provided 2 blank worksheets for you to create your own combinations or for the students to write the words in the blank hearts.

As always, click on the picture below for the shop you prefer!

Enjoy!

Don't forget, I also have a giveaway going on until tomorrow!  (I forgot how fun it was to have a giveaway and have enjoyed reading your comments and meeting new bloggy friends!)

Reindeer Food, Santa Letter FREEBIE links!

I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Pinterest!  Don't you?  

After doing a quick and simple search, I found the cutest little FREE printables on a blog called, Crafty Carnival.  

(I can't wait to have some time to look through her posts!)

My little one and I made 30 servings of reindeer food (for my other little ones at school) using this cute little bag topper she has posted!

 

Within the same post there is also a "Dear Santa" letter for the kids to write their "short" list.  I plan on using this with my kindies tomorrow.  They are just bubbling over with excitement!
