Here goes nothin'...

Welcome to my blog! If you are reading this... THANK YOU!

After my third day of being snowed/iced in, I have decided to join the world of blogging. In the past few weeks I have gotten SO many wonderful ideas, I figure that if I can help ONE person with something I do in my classroom- then it is worth it! :)

So for my first post, I have decided to post about 'Fancy Flowers'. *This was not my idea! I got this from a friend who I am sure got it from another friend. (I'm still not sure on the rules of certain things as far as copyrights, etc. go! :/ )*



 
As you can see, you post a frequently used word in the middle, and then put synonyms on the petals. This took me about 20 minutes to make all 4, and they are so darn cute!

Also, here is a chunk caterpillar. I also got this from a friend. Super easy! I used a bowl to trace the circles.
I will be putting both of these by my Writing Table.
 
Lordy, have I mentioned how much I am missing my babies and my classroom? Day #4 of being out of school tomorrow, and I am READY to get to school and show them everything I've been working on!

Lastly, here is a cartoon that I'm sure the rest of the Texans out there will appreciate!

P.S. Let me know if something on my blog is hard to read. I'm still trying to figure it all out!

  1. I just found your blog but had to laugh at the Texan comic. I've got a few friends there and they are going nuts! Have a great weekend!

  2. I love your flowers and caterpillar. Did you use a diecut to make them or make everything by hand?

  3. Mrs. Fine- yes it is finally starting to melt, so I hope to venture out today without needing my husband to drive! Thanks for reading!

    Kathy- I made them by hand but it was super easy! I'm not very artistic- but I must say I'm very proud of these two projects. I free handed a stencil for the flowers and just used the stencil for each piece. For the caterpillar, I used a bowl to trace the circle. I got about 3-4 sheets of paper and stapled them together, and then cut out only one trace so that it didn't take as long. Let me know if that doesn't make sense! :)

    Thanks for reading!
