Plus an Apple Clipart - FREE!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hey, everyone!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I know I have been a bit..AWOL here on the blog and haven't been creating as much as I used to either, BUT I am slowly coming back! I do have one or two relatively new and FREE stuff for you which I haven't blogged about. They are available to download and can be used in your classroom or at home.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Those of you who follow me on TpT have definitely spotted them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The first one is a feelings map. I have received so much positive feedback on the first feelings map I created: "<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Gingerbread-Man-Story-Feelings-Map-Kindergarten-and-1st-Grade-FREE-996262" target="_blank">The Gingerbread Man Story feelings map</a>," so I decided I would make one for Johnny Appleseed's story as well. I have shortened the story and created clear visuals to make it easier for pre-k and kindergarten kiddos to "read." They color how they feel under every image. You can click on the cover below and download it for free! Please leave some thoughtful feedback for me to know what you think and if I should make more feelings maps.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The second little thing I have for you is an apple clipart you can use on worksheets or resources of your own. I offer it both in color and black and white if you want to save your ink. You can see it and download it by clicking on the image below! Should I make more clipart..?😊😊 Let me know in the comments or by leaving some feedback on TpT.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I have a new creation I am very excited to talk (blog) about! I have been working on it for the last 3 months. It took me that much time to design, draw, and test every template and craft before finally listing the entire packet on TpT.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I believe that all learning should be fun and engaging. In my classroom, I always organize </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">art projects to facilitate learning and</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> teach different subjects as I have seen how well the students respond. As teachers, we know how important teaching letters and sounds is because this knowledge ultimately leads students to early reading. Taking these facts </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">into consideration, I created "The CrAlphabet". The name is </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 16.003px;">a playful merge of the words “crafts” and “alphabet” and the packet includes art-based projects which introduce letters and </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 16.003px;">letter - sound correspondences.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hey everyone!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">First post of 2014! Happy New Year! Hope you had a great time and got some rest and relaxation during your winter break. I know some areas are experiencing extreme cold right now and many teachers are having a snow day too. Keep calm and enjoy the snow!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My resolutions for this year are...no more resolutions! Carpe diem I say. Or..</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I think the best way to start the New Year off is a...giveawayyy! I just updated my Martin Luther King Jr. pack, made a few changes here and there and added 30 more pages with new activities. So this is now a 90 page pack and I'm very happy to see that people are already leaving excellent feedback. This is your chance to win it!</span><br />

Counting, Addition, and Subtraction within 10.<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hey, everyone!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I know it's Christmas break time for most teachers out there, but I had a request for this and the cute illustrations I found just made it impossible NOT to make! 😊</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It can be tricky to teach math to young learners in a way that it is fun and engaging. During the days before Christmas break, many fellow kindergarten and first-grade teachers are looking for interesting and enjoyable ways to incorporate math into their lessons. I created these amusing cut&paste math word problems and worksheets to help make math a game! </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">You can use them in class, or they can be fun, meaningful activities for the kindergartners and first graders at home. Easy to use with manipulatives as well! </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">This packet helps the children practice counting, </span>addition<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">, and subtraction within 10.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">With the popular Gingerbread Man story and the common core in mind, I created a little freebie for you! It is appropriate for kindergarten and first grade, but second and third graders could benefit and have a lot of fun with this as well! Pre-k students too, with some guidance.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; line-height: 16px;">This freebie features a short version of the classic Gingerbread Man story with a feelings map, for children in early grades.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020; line-height: 16px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020; line-height: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; line-height: 16px;">Two versions of the map are included : One to help children think about what their own feelings are, as they read through the story, and one for them to indicate the Gingerbread Man's feelings, over the course of the story.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hey everyone!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Thanksgiving Day and Thanksgiving break are only days away BUT some of us are already thinking about Christmas! I love Christmas as it is a really creative time for the classroom and a very happy one at home..the tree, the songs, the gifts, the hot chocolate, the family atmosphere..oh! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I thought I would do a little giveaway for us Christmas-holics out there. I have just finished revising my Gingerbread man unit last week which turned out bigger and more fun than I even expected! The Gingerbread Man story is a classic and a theme that early grade students love. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><u>Giveaway Tips:</u></b></span><br />

<br />I was thinking about carving pumpkins, calling them Jack O'Lanterns and thought..what is the (hi)story behind this? I looked into it online and came about some quite spooky stuff about who Jack O'Lantern really was (according to an old Irish legend) and how carved pumpkins became a Halloween must. I found this very interesting and I think it would be a hit in class too! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
How the story goes in a nutshell:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; line-height: 16px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There was a man in Ireland called Jack who people called Stingy Jack. He liked playing tricks on everyone, even on the Devil (!) who he tricked twice. When he died, Saint Peter wouldn't let him into Heaven and the Devil wouldn't let him into hell, so he had no choice but to come back to Earth. As the way back was really dark, he asked for the Devil's help who tossed him a coal from his fire. Stingy Jack took the coal and put it in a turnip which he first hollowed out and carved and turned into a lantern. Since then, he roams the Earth with his lantern and that's why we call him Jack O'Lantern, which is short for Jack of the Lantern. The Irish were the first to carve turnips, potatoes, beets, and other vegetables for Halloween. They put them in front of their houses to keep evil spirits out. When they immigrated to America, they discovered that pumpkins are easier to carve. Americans liked and adopted this custom.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; line-height: 16px;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #202020;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">Not many images or art of the "real" Jack O'Lantern are out there, but all stories seem to agree that he was a "stingy old man" (!) Some "Stingy Jack" art from the web:</span></span></span><br />
