Moving Postcard

My friend just moved into a new house. She asked me to help her make a postcard she could send out with her new address on it. I loved helping her. She had great style and knew exactly what she wanted! Check out how the final product turned out (names and addresses changed, of course)!!
Love it!!

Road of Life Party

Sometimes it's nice to just start fresh! My amazing brother in law is doing just that! He started a new job this week, so to celebrate his next step in life, his wife wanted me to help throw him a party! I chose the theme "The Road of Life!"

"There are far better things ahead than any we leave behind." ~ C.S. Lewis

My amazingly talented mother in law (and father in law!) made these adorable candy cars! They were almost too cute to eat!! (almost!)

It was very fitting theme for my brother in law since all of his previous careers as well as his new career have all been in the car industry! With the help of my amazing mother in law and sister in law, we pulled off a great surprise party!! Good Luck Jason on this latest exit on your "Road of Life!"

Toy Story Birthday

I helped one my newest friends with her son's birthday party in November! (and then the Holidays started... hence why this post isn't happening until January!) 

He loves all things Toy Story so, of course, we had to do a Toy Story themed birthday! 

I made some signs for his party that are going to be perfect in his new "big boy" room!

My friend was so awesome to work with. She knew exactly what she wanted and planned out her food so well! I made the food tags and banners. She took care of all the yummy fixin's!!

How to Cook a Turkey Writing Activity

This is a great activity to do with your students right before Thanksgiving. I love to do this with my students every year. I let them have a discussion on how they think they should cook a turkey for Thanksgiving dinner. I let the children brainstorm together and then write their papers. After they finish writing their final drafts, we talk about how to REALLY cook a turkey! I love this part! What the kids write is always so far off from the real way to cook a turkey. The kids laugh and I laugh and it's a great learning experience.

Good luck and have fun with this! Happy Thanksgiving

Superhero Themed Weekend News

Each week in my class, my 2nd graders write about what they did over the weekend on a Superhero Weekend News. They love that they get to pretend they were a superhero over the weekend and write it from that perspective. This fun and engaging worksheet is perfect for any superhero themed classroom.

I'm keeping my worksheets for each student and we are going to make a book for each student to take home at the end of the year called "My Superhero Weekend News." The kids are really excited about that and they try really hard each week to make sure their weekend news is good enough for a book!

Fall Thankful Tree

This year with my 2nd graders, we had each student make their own Fall Thankful Tree. In the previous years, we have made a huge class tree, where each student could add thankful leaves to it. But, this year we wanted to have something that each child could take home and share with their families.

I created this really easy and fun Fall Thankful Tree for my students to make. Each student choose as many pre-copied leaves as they wanted to fill up their tree with. On each leaf, they had to write down what they were thankful for. The students loved this assignment and I loved that they came up with so many things to be thankful for.

There is still a few days left before Thanksgiving. You can still grab this download from my TpT store right now for 20% off!!  Click here to download!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
