Happy Saturday! Is this your last weekend before we return to our classrooms? It is for me! We have finally finished taking down all of the Christmas madness goodness and got the estate back to normal! How are you spending your Saturday?!
Normally on Saturday I do the Saturday Kindergarten Post where I share all of insanity and chaos and messiness from the week in Monsters, Inc. (my classroom!) but since I’ve had the week off, I am going to share a couple of school related things I did or shared this past week!
Using student pictures for clip chart clips and my monster sized clip chart! Notice that I tore off the old pictures from the clips before I snapped this picture!
Casino baskets for QUIET dice! No more click click clack clack! AH, peace!
DIY dry erase pockets!
Using students in sight word a sight word PowerPoint!
Here is one of my fave new year’s activities! This is a great way to build community on your first few days back! It’s also a great lesson for adjectives (especially for upper grades!) Students use adjectives or short phrases to say nice things about their classmates! Record those on paper or the Smart Board and snap a picture! You can also click on the picture to get tons of New Year’s freebies and ideas!
Have you subscribed to my newsletter yet!? WHAT? Why not?! DO IT! A new edition will be coming out this week with tips and ideas and a newsletter exclusive freebie! Think cars and trucks and ten frames! HMMMM

Hiya peepers
Shuna here
I just wanted to stop in and tell you about the awesomeness that is happening on FB on this
Sunday at 3:00! I have joined up with a few of my fabulous friends to host a FB Blog Fans
Scavenger hunt! Sounds fun right?!
So here is the deal
There are 16 bloggers participating and each is donating a fan-ta-bu-lous prize
To win all you have to do is follow the clues and leave a comment on the person’s FB page with
the correct answer
I will give the first clue on my FB page
here at 3 p.m. central time on Sunday
Once you figure out what fabulous blogger my clue refers to leave their name or link in the
comments! All fans who answer the clue correctly will be entered into the individual drawing as
well as the big drawing!
To find the next clue you will hop over to that person’s FB page, you can get to it by visiting their
blog and clicking on the FB button in the sidebar, and read your next clue
There are 16 clues so that is 16 chances to win
There will be a winner for each clue
Each winner will then be put into the big drawing where they will have a chance to win it all!
Before we look at the prizes here are the rules
* you must follow each person’s FB page!
( You can do this before hand but we will check to make sure that you are a follower!)
* You can only comment once to each clue {So make it good}
*You can comment between the times 3p.m. central time and 7p.m. central time
*Winners will be announced at 8p.m.
( If the random number thingy chooses you as a winner and you have not followed each FB
another winner will be chosen)
Take a look at the prizes that will go into the big drawing
Pst, this may or may not be your little cheat sheet
First up is

That is all for now
Peace Out Peace
