listening: the hum of my air conditioner reminds me that summer in the Northeast is quickly coming to its finale. Which also reminds me that I have this to look forward to:
Though he is awfully cute (if I do say so myself), the snow is something I can't get used to even after living here for over 10 years.
loving: YEAH...Logan is finished with day camp tomorrow. Yes, he will be sad not to see his amigos AND I certainly was able to get a TON of work done these last two weeks but I am so happy to spend some mommy/son time before heading back to work. We also are leaving for our final camping trip of the summer. Four nights in a tent...lucky me :)
thinking: I really need to face reality and go here.....
But where I usually end up is here:
wanting: Everyone to love our new blog! Colleen and I are super duper excited to meet new teachers and share ideas!
needing: I desperately need a new teacher's bag. Mine is shameful, embarrassing, and belongs in a garbage can. I love the quality of Lands End but maybe I should get something a little flashier. Suggestions?
B2s must haves: A close friend introduced me to Tervis Tumblers this summer. Genius!! After visiting her down in Florida, I found a RED SOX Tervis. Hello!!
AND FINALLY...drum roll please....to celebrate the last days of the summer we wanted to share a fabulous product on TpT by Top Seller Deanna Jump. The packet is the first in a series. The skills covered in this unit are beginning sounds, rhyming, phonemic awareness, syllables and CVC words. There are 35 message skeletons that focus on beginning skills. The messages are available in 3 formats: color, black and white and clipart images to create large charts if desired. What a PERFECT resource for my Kindergarten and First Grade teacher friends. Check it out!!
And for my Second Grade Friends, please download our FREEBIE "Mirror Mirror on the Wall". It's a great game to reinforce y as long e and y as a suffix!
