Did you know?
I love the day after Valentine's Day because of all of the sales! You can find so many trinkets, treats, and goodies to save for the next year. Did you know that most stores donate their decorations to teachers and other community organizations? This year I contacted my local Target to see what they planned to do with their cute little signs that hang from the ceiling. They said just what I wanted to hear, "We give them away to teachers and other community members from non-profit organizations." I also contacted a few other stores who were not able to give away their signs, but it was definitely worth asking. It probably varies depending on the location and management, but it never hurts to ask...you never know!

picture books
If you love books as much as I do, you should take a look at a new blog that I recently discovered! I love this blog because it covers such a broad range of topics, it is cross-curricular, and it also has excellent tips for teachers about teaching reading, creating books, genre...and much more!
Right now the current post has literature about freedom, the Civil Rights movement,and famous African Americans who impacted our country, like Rosa Parks.

Cute Stuff!
The past few days I've had a lot more time to surf the net, blogstalk, and peruse through all kinds of great teacher resources (due to the arctic blast here in Texas). These are a couple of my favorite ideas/posts...check them out!
1. I love Mrs. Bates' 100th day Portraits with accessories. The cotton ball hair is just too cute! These are priceless. It looks like our 100th day will be on Tuesday so I might just have see if I can squeeze this in (amongst all the other stuff I have to squeeze in)!
Isn't it darling?
2. Mrs. Waddingham's blog has some really cute activities for math, science, writing, and football! One of her friends also makes the cutest little trinkets! I am in LOVE with this mailbox, and I'm headed to FB to get more information!
3. Mrs. Wills is also giving away lots of freebies! She has already posted some word work and math activities that are connected to Valentine's Day and showing love!
4. I also discovered Mrs. Patton's Patch. She teaches first grade, and she has several social studies units about comparing "long ago" and "now."
5. Last but not least, Mrs. Harris, a second/third grade looping teacher posted a Valentine Coupon book.
There are so many more wonderful ideas that I have seen! I wish I had time to compile a huge list of all of them. There would probably be 100's of great ideas/activities for February. However, while the boys are napping, I'm off to try to catch some z's myself!

(This link is specific to first grade.)

Student Treasures Publishing-a great resource!
Over the break, I picked these up from Target. It was about $12.00 for 2 hardcover books, but there is a wonderful reading program that I want to share with everyone.
The best part is...it's FREE!!!
for all of the information! We are going to get started with this project and place the books on display during open house.
