Alphabet Songs

I hope everyone had a fantastic Memorial Day! We didn't do much, just got our storage unit set up and ready for our move on Wednesday and went to moms for some BBQ and good company.

I have a few things to share with you tonight! First up is Have Fun Teaching's Alphabet Songs! These songs are so fun! Unfortunately I am just hearing about them so I have not gotten to use them in my classroom. However, after listening to several of their songs on YouTube I can't wait to use them next year! They are a great resource! My kids this year loved learning things using songs and honestly I can't think of any kid that doesn't like music and moving! Check out this ABC Song!

I absolutely LOVE how it not only goes through the letters (showing both capital and lowercase) but also goes through it again giving the sound of each letter!

They also have videos for each letter! Definitely a fun and motivating way to introduce, learn, remember, and review letters and their sounds!

---Next on the agenda for tonight is to tell you about A-B-Seymour's HUGE 200 Follower Giveaway! She has lots of great things up to give to one lucky winner! Although I am crossing my fingers that I am that lucky winner, it'd be a great package for any of us teachers to win! So get over there and enter. You have until Midnight Wednesday to enter!!

---Finally, I wanted to remind you about my Memorial Day Giveaway! Everything at my TPT store is 10% off until tomorrow night! I've recently added some things and I'm hoping to get a few more things up before the sale ends. (Click on the picture below to head on over to my store!!)

Okay well I'm off to read your wonderful blogs before I hit the bed tonight! Tomorrow will consist of packing up the kitchen, tearing down the bed, packing up the rest of the odds and ends around the house, and getting the U-Haul set up for Wednesday! I'm ready for this week to be over!

Night!

Ramblings and a Freebie

WooHoo! I did it! I just caught up on 3 days of blogs and I actually READ EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM! Let me tell you. Not an easy task when you follow close to 100 different blogs. Was it worth it? Of course, I'd do it again if I had to.... BUT I plan on staying caught up *crosses-fingers*! Anywhoo, so it's been about 5 days since I last posted. Sorry. :( But in my defense I was trying to enjoy the last few days of my Spring Break! Its over now [insert sad face here] but we had a really good day today. Did probably my favorite craftivity that we've done all year. I found it on someone's blog last week sometime... but I can't remember who's. I really really think it might have been Mrs. Morrow's blog.  Let me check.... yep! I was right here! Check out her blog to see what I'm talking about!

So I need to send a BIG "Thank you!" to Kindergarten Lifestyle! She featured me in her Share a Blog Sunday! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! And to all my new followers, hello! I'm glad you found me! Makes my heart happy when I realize I got a new follower (just ask the boyfriend)!

So last Monday I created a Roll a Letter dice game. It was inspired by all of the many roll a ___ games going around in blogland right now. It was ALSO inspired due to a conversation my kindergarten team had with the academic coach, principal, and asst. principal a few weeks ago. We give Dibels NEXT and our leadership team really wants our kids to have automaticity with naming letters. I am practicing this skill daily using LNF sheets... but I needed something to spice it up. Something that would make my kids feel like they were playing a game instead of doing the same ol-same ol- you know? So I knew as soon as I created it that I wanted to share it on here with you...  I meant to share it last week... but Spring Break got the best of me, and I completely lost track of time.

If you download this, please leave me a comment letting me know!

Okay before I go... I have to tell you that if you are not watching The Voice- YOU ARE MISSING OUT! I totally want to go for Blake Shelton's team... but Christina's performances are stealing my attention from writing this post. Chris Mann is an AMAZING talent! And Moses is a true performer! Like attention stealing, heart pumping, entertaining performer! So... Blake your group needs to BRING IT.... because Christina's group has already brought it!

And on that note, I hope you have an amazing night! If you are on Spring Break currently, PLEASE enjoy it! It goes by way too fast!
