Giveaway - Sneak Peek!

Hey all!  

 Wanted to let you know to hop on over Cotes Class for a huge giveaway she's having.  She reached a huge milestone and wants to celebrate with you all! 

I don't know about you but I love Amazon.  So many bloggers are participating in this giveaway including myself!  Drop by and enter for your chance to win!

Wanted to give you a sneak peek of what I am almost finished with… my Space Unit.  I have been putting this on the back burner for so long, but finally I worked all day to finish within the next couple days.. If you want to take a look, drop by my Instagram to check it out.

Happy Sunday!

First Grade Dolch Words Packet Plus a HUGE Salee!

Happy Sunday!

Ahhhh finally got to finish my.  I have been working on this since April and with all my wedding craziness just didn't have time.

My First Grade Dolch Sight Word Mats

So excited to share this with you all.  I plan on doing the bundles for K 2nd and 3rd grade in the future. Had to do the first packet for my firsties!  This packet is just like my Sassy Sight Words.  It's perfect for center work, buddy work, early finishers and homework.  I did this last year with my little ones and the students I tutored always asked for it.  It was fun to see them enjoy it so much.

Here are some snap shots of what's inside!

If you notice there is not cutting involved.  I wanted to make this clean and organized.  I know when my students cut, most of them do a great job but you always have some students who are losing letters or important parts to make their classwork complete.  So I figured it would be easier for my little ones to manage and less of me picking up!

All these mats have the same format:

color, write, rainbow write, how many syllables, word search and write & draw!

These are all fun short activities for the firsties to use when being introduced or reviewing  a sight word.

You can grab this bundle over at my TpT !

If you do grab it let me know what you think.

Blog Makeover N Giveaway!

Hey all!  I have been out of the loop!  And I solo miss blogging.  I have been going nutty trying to plan our wedding (in 2 weeks ahhhhh) and buying our house!  There is no time in the day.  But being that I felt like I was neglecting my blog so much,  I thought I'd treat it with a bloggy makeover!  I can't believe how quick it was and just how amazing it is.  I was involved in every aspect of it.  I gave my favorite patterns, fonts and colors…. and VOILA!  All done!  A sweet bloggy gal, Courtney from Blogs Fit for a Queen created this for me.  She included everything I wanted and seriously great price.  I couldn't be more pleased and excited!

With my new makeover,  I thought why not keep celebrating with a GIVEAWAY!

  I haven't done one in so long.  I reached my 2 year on my sweet blog just last month and I recently reached over 1000 followers.  What a better to celebrate than to give stuff away!  

Now what to give away?!?!  I'm going to try to giveaway things that have somehow made it into my wedding one way or another.

Okie so let's start with my latest favorite store!

$15 gift e-card to Sephora.  

I bought my bridesmaids a whole bunch of goodies from there.  Makeup bags with nail files, gloss, polish and other sweet things!

Also I teamed up with a sweet artist who has helped me with creating somethings for my wedding that could easily be transformed into a classroom idea!

Stacy the creator of Stacy Lavelle Designs is giving away a teacher banner!

She created one similar to this for my wedding table

She used my wedding colors instead… white & purple!

She also created one this for my vintage card box

Seriously it came out so darn cute!!  

Stacy is willing to give one away to a lucky winner.  She will do the color your want.  Will look great hanging from your desk!  It will surely be a cute theme and be a great entrance when students walk in!

That's not all!  She is offering a discount if you grab anything over at her     Etsy Shop.

To finish it off, I am offering the lucky winner anything they want over at my TpT Shop!!

Now that you got all the details, who wants to win some goodies??

Follow the rafflecopter below!  Winners will be announced Thursday.  Good Luck!!

FarFaria (Reading) Subscription Giveaway!

Hey friends!  happy Sunday.  So happy to be blogging today and letting you know about something sweet I just became apart of!

 I am joining forces with an awesome new app, FarFaria, that I have had the honor to see and check out what it's about!  

It's a sweet app ranging from ages 2-9 that introduce children to the idea of reading and allow them to have a love for reading.


It has a variety of stories that is sure to please your sweet ones.

With over 600 stories, your babies will have a blast reading up on their favorite books!  These stories are unlimited!  So when you are done with one, go ahead and read another.  Why not make it a family night and read stories together?  

Or if you are a teacher like me, download it on your I-Pad and let it be a reading/listening center.    Such a great way to let your kiddies know that reading shouldn't have to be a chore and can be fun instead!

Here are some snippets of what exactly it looks like and what's inside.  It is full of beautiful pictures and great story lines, sure to please your kids.

Like I said before, FarFaria ranges from ages 2-9.  So you can find the appropriate level books for your child located at the bottom right hand corner.  The leveled books allow you to grab what you believe your little ones is capable of reading on their own.  Or go ahead and choose a book they love and go ahead and read it to them before going to bed.

You have seriously so many different genres of stories, it's hard to pick just one.  FarFaria even has a "Read to Me" option that allows your little one to listen to the story instead of reading it.  How smart is that??!?

It's so easy to read.  When your done with the page you just swipe with your fingers to continue and keep reading.

I keep thinking of all the different ways I can use this in the classroom.

I think it will be perfect for using the I-Pads in the classroom.  Students would have a blast reading stories with a buddy.  Give them a list of questions to answer after the story is done to work on comprehension and VOILA!

Don't you love this app?  I know I do.  So happy I was introduced to this so I can now incorporate it into my daily routine with my little ones.  

Now YOU can too.

 FarFaria's monthly full access subscriptions are just $3.99.  How crazy inexpensive right?

Well FarFaria is giving away 3 month memberships to FarFaria to 2 lovely lucky winners!  

Follow Rafflecopter below and enter as you wish. 

Good Luck!

Thanks to Julie for the awesome frames!

I don't know about you BUT I have been OBSESSED with anything that has to do with chalk lately.  So I am teaming up with some of my favorite ladies that have their own chalk shop on Etsy!

 A sweet  and generous buddy Kristie from Kristies ReCreations is giving away her mini chalkboard clips set !  I love these.  They are so versatile and useful for the classroom or home.  I would use these to showcase my little ones work outside on the bulletin board.  It would be great to give their work back as well for those students who forget to put their names on their things.  Or you can use it to organize things in your home.  It adds such a cute style!  They retail for $10 and she's giving away this for FREE!  To check out what else she has to offer drop by her store by clicking HERE

I recently purchased mini chalkboard stands to label my foods for my engagement party this past Saturday.  If you want to check out the same mini chalkboard stands, you can click HERE to take you to that spot.  This is a snapshot of how they looked.  

Another amazing product up for grabs is $25 worth of products at Charlie Chalk Designs.  I recently got my chalk labels from her that I blogged about HERE.  I used the labels on my mason jars for the favors and they were a huge hit.  She wants to give you the chance to try some of her fab products worth a whopping $25!  
UHMMMM Can I enter my own giveaway?   

To check out what else she has in her store click HERE to take you right there. Here's one of my favorite things in her shop

This is her mini chalkboards that can be used for an event or wedding.  I'm thinking I would love to grab these for my wedding for the tables.  It would be so pretty and I'm love the style of the frames!

And finally I want to participate in this awesome giveaway too! 
 I am giving away a $10 giftcard to Target. 

 Everyone is going back to school sooner or later and this would come in handy for those sweet treats for your little ones.  I love Target and always go straight to the dollar spot when I do go there.  

Okay.  Love this giveaway?  Well here's how to enter!
