Frozen "In Summer" Birthday Party

Do you remember the sneak peak I gave you of the Frozen In Summer themed birthday party I was planning? I shared with you the adorable invitation I made for this party here!

Well, last week was the big day! My friend's adorable little girl turned 4 and her Frozen In Summer party turned out absolutely fabulous.

Here is the gift table. My friend's amazing mom made all families hooded Olaf towels to take home as a party favor! They were so darn cute! The kids LOVED them!

For the food, we had a lot of cute snacks that went along with our Frozen theme! We had powdered sugar donut for snowballs.

We had pretzel sticks for Olaf's arms.

We had carrot sticks for Olaf's Noses. 

We had mini sandwiches in honor of Hans and Anna!

I made a cute tissue paper garland in our theme's colors for the bottom of the food table.

We had an amazing Frozen cake made! The very talented lady who made it did an absolutely amazing job!! The kids (and adults!) were in love with it!

For drinks, we had pink lemonade and melted snow (aka... water bottles!)

It was such a cute and fun party! I was able to bring my girls along and they had a blast! After we had lunch and opened presents, we all went swimming! It was a perfect Frozen In Summer party for the perfect little girl!! Love you Claire Bear! Happy Birthday cute girl!  

2nd Grade English Language Arts Common Core Standards WE CAN Posters!

This is a packet of all the English Language Arts  Common Core Standards for 2nd grade. They have been written in student friendly “WE CAN” statements. They are typed up to display and refer to frequently in your classroom.

One of my goals this year is to refer more frequently to the standards we are teaching and make sure that my students know why we are learning what we are learning. 

Here are two samples of the posters you will receive in the packet.

Superhero Themed All About Me Pages

I'm changing up my classroom a bit this year. I am going to do a new theme: 2nd Grade Superheroes! I'm really excited. I created a Superhero All About Me Page for my students to complete on the first day of school. I'm going to have the students fill them out, color them, and put them together to make a class book. My students have always LOVED looking through the All About Me book throughout the whole year. Here is what you will get in my download:

Frozen "In Summer" Themed Birthday Party Sneak Peek ~ Invitation

One of my longest and dearest friends from my childhood asked me to help plan her daugher's birthday party. She is turning 4 this year and of course loves all things Frozen. {What little girl doesn't, right!?}

Since her birthday is in the middle of summer, we chose to do a Olaf "In Summer" themed party! I have had SO much fun planning this party. I'm so excited to throw it for this sweet friend and her daughter! Here is a sneak peek preview of the party theme and colors we are doing. This is the birthday invitation I designed for the party. I love how it turned out!

Stay tuned for more from this cute Olaf "In Summer" themed party! It's going to be fantastic! =)

Pokemon Birthday Party

Well, we survived a week long camping trip with my husband's family and my 3 little girls! Now that I'm back, I have some catching up to do. Before we left, I threw a Pokemon Birthday Party for my nephew who turned 8. Like I said in this post {with Pokemon FREEBIES}, I knew nothing about Pokemon before this birthday. It was a challenge to plan, but turned out so great! Here are some of the photos from the birthday party. It turned out to be a great party! Perfect for little boys! {something else I know little about! ;)}

To start, there was little decorations I could actually find in stores. I needed something to add to the tables and serving area. I decided to make these little pictures. I used black foam board from Dollar Tree. I found some images on line and created them into 5x5 squares. I had to edit a few of them. Then I mounted them on the foam board and cut them out. I found little easels at Michael's that were the perfect size to display my little pictures. They added so much to the party! I loved them! Such a simple method to add a lot to a party. 

I used the cupcake toppers from this post! They turned out great! 

I made some Pokeball cookies for the party. I simply used mini vanilla wafers, some gel frosting, and a white chocolate chip. They turned out pretty cute and were a huge hit!

We found different colored candies that matched our decor to use as "Energy Candies." Of course these were a huge hit too! What 7 or 8 year old boy doesn't LOVE candy?!!

My sister in law printed found a Pokemon Bingo game and the kids loved playing that!

Some other pictures of the decor! It was so much fun to decorate for this party!

I hope you liked it! This was a really fun party. All the kids had a blast. I think my first little boy's party was a huge success! Check back soon for more ideas to teach, create, and PARTY!!

Summer Camping Activity Packet with FREEBIE!

We are getting ready for a week long camping trip with my husband's family. We are all getting excited, but as a mom of 3 busy girls, I am also a little nervous about keeping them occupied for an entire week. I decided to make a fun little learning packet to take with us. They can either work on this on the way up in the truck or when we get there. It's perfect for any age, but I focused it mainly for Pre-K through 3rd grade age.

If you need something fun to do this summer, either while you are camping or not, check out this fun packet.

 It includes 8 fun and different word, writing, and math activities.

 You can download a copy of my entire What Should We Do While Camping? Activity Packet from my TpT store.
