United We Stand - A Patriotic Craftivity!

So earlier in the week I revamped my Johnny Appleseed Craftivity and now I want to show you my latest renovated Patriotic Craftivity!  

I created this last year geared towards 9-11 and remembering the day.  My little ones were not born during the tough time and this packet is great for introducing the idea in a sensitive way and having them learn more about our country. So I decided to revamp the creativity.  The new one comes with an adorable Patriotic Hat.  What do ya think?

I seriously love the Patriotic hat!

It has writing prompts glued to the bottom to fill in facts about our country!

I know my little ones will love it when we make it!

Here are some peeks at what's included in this little bundle:

  This packet includes:

-craft/directions/pictures

-6 writing prompts (full&half,primary&secondary,b&w)

-Acrostic Poems

-Letters to soldiers

-Sensitive letter to students explaining 9-11

-Can, Has & Is

-KWL (know, want to know and learned)

-Pledge of Allegiance (b&w and color)

-Our Country's Facts along with a Quiz

Grab this adorable packet now and be prepared for September. 

If you do grab it, let me know what you think. =) 

I am setting up for 1 Sweet Giveaway you won't want to miss.  I will give you a hint on what it is:  it has to do with my latest obsession!  If you read up on my last few posts you might figure it out!

Favorite Pins Friday!

I am so excited to be linking up with the fabulous Cara from The First Grade Parade for her Favorite Pins Friday!

I am OBSESSED with Pinterest and if you are constantly pinning like me, you need to link up!

1.  I'm loving these adorable idea for beginning of the year.  It's a cute treat bag to give your favorite teachers, or just all of them. =)  Who doesn't need extra of these.  I got this idea from a sweet blogger Dream Girl Lisa, who has some great ideas and cute crafts!

2.  I love this next pin.  I got this from Chicka Bug and it's such a great idea for the class.  

I don't know about you, but when we have a birthday party, I am always scrambling around and looking for forks and spoons for the cupcakes.  This would be great to set up at the beginning of the year and keep refilling it as you go.  I love the bright colors too!

3.  This next pin is one of my faves and can't wait to get started!  I have been obsessed lately with chalkboard EVERYTHING!  So when I saw this, I knew I had to make one as well.  This pin comes from the very creative Second Grade Nest.  It's so easy to make and after reading the post, I have all of the things needed for it!  Can't wait 

I was thinking of putting the Spelling/Vocabulary words for the week on the board since I am trying to have some more space on the bulletin boards for visuals. =)

4.  Non school related!  Our engagement party is July 20th and we are trying to get things done for it.  One of my favorite things that I ordered was originally taken from a pin!  I got SWEET idea from Mutludukkan.  I ordered them from someone I know who bakes.  Can't wait to see how they look. So cute!

5.  This last pin is also something I plan to make for our engagement party.  It seems easy and cheap enough too with a lot of elegance! 

This would be great for centerpieces.  Don't you love?

Can't wait to get started on all of my pins!!  

What do you have on your Pin-List 2 do?
