This is a freebie/pin that I will absolutely use next year!
Everyone will want to be a pickle!!!

No Techie Tuesday...But How About FREEBIES?!

I created some fun activities for our end of the year party and thought I'd share them with you!  We had a beachy theme and KPM Doodles had these adorable little sea friends!  

I was also inspired by my buddy Lorraine at Fabulous 4th Grade Froggies.  

We made these adorable straws, but with a beach twist!

Click the picture below to download our beachy silly straw cards!  There are two versions:  one black/white and one with color.  You chose!  

And here are two more freebies for you!  I created a word search and a crossword puzzle using these fabulous sea friends!  For both activities, their is a black/white version (for kids to color) and a color version!  

So many freebies and choices!  Enjoy!  :o)

Motivation Monday and Father's Day!

Talk about helping out and making someone's day!  I saw this about a month ago on NBC Nightly News and cried the entire time!  How sweet for a teacher to think of something so simple, yet so significant in these high schoolers' lives!  Check out the video below:

I also wanted to remember the dads out there!  It seems like they always get the short end of the stick because we're always out of school when Father's Day rolls around.  Well, not this year!  I'm making sure my kids have something to give their dads (or any father figure)!  Click the picture below to check out the sports craftivity we completed!

Target Swag!

Have you ever ran across something in a store and thought, "OMGosh!  That's SO me!!!"

I had that moment, but for my blog!  Here it is folks.  

3rd Grade Gridiron home decor from Target!!!

I almost squealed when I saw all of this!!!  I wanted to call corporate and ask if we could work out a branding deal!  L-O-V-E!  I have a home office and plan to do a FULL makeover this summer.  Pics will definitely be shared!

All of these items were $2.50 in the little section that's right there when you first walk into Target.  And no, Target's not going to work out a deal with me.  But it's ok to still dream, right?!  :)

Bubble Blast!

Try bubbles!  I'm not kidding!  

My colleague found a fabulous idea for using bubbles in this book:

The kids had a BLAST!!!

All you need are plastic plates, straws, bubbles, and rulers!  Once the kids get started, they don't want to stop!  See for yourself below!

And of course...giggle, giggle, he he he!  They were all cracking up at this one...the "booty bubble!"  (When I look at it, I see Garfield, the cat.  Do you?!)

And the biggest one of all!

Here are two super short clips of the kids in action!

They had such a great time, it kept them engaged, AND it matches our standards!  Can't beat that!  :)

Memory Book Mania!

Many of you are WELL aware that finding engaging activities these last few days of school is tough.  The kids know that my grades have already been finalized and the party is only 3 school days away! 

So I put together a memory book for my kids.  While completing these, they'll be able to hang out with each other, talk to each other, and get something accomplished in the process!

If you would like a copy of our memory book, click the picture below:

What kinds of activities are you doing to keep your little ones under control?!
