Moved, A Surprise, and Alabama Blogger Meet-Up

Well I'm back!  I apologize for my lengthy absence.  But I have been BUSY!  Stick with me, it's a long post, but you'll be rewarded if you missed out on it the first time!

I finally got to move to Alabama to be with the hubs.  The move itself was comical.  Well lets back up a little.  This will explain my absence a little...
 me.  

Anywho, we said goodbye to Arkansas and hello to Alabama!  But the move was anything but smooth.  We hired movers to come and load the truck for us because I wasn't going to be of much help.  Mr. Coach was unable to come home because they had football camps but my wonderful dad came in town to help me and drive the truck.  Well, the movers were 4 hours late and then they were incredibly slow loading the truck.  We had to be in Alabama at 8:00 the next morning to meet Mr. Coach and the other movers to unload the truck.  We didn't leave Arkansas until 8:30 that night.  We arrived in Alabama at 6:30 the next morning.  EXHAUSTING!!!  Luckily I got to sit in a chair, on the front porch, and direct where everything went.  I said that I wanted to be every move if I was going to get the royal treatment like this!  haha.

We have everything moved in and my mom even came and stayed for a few days to help me decorate.  She is a genius when it comes to these things!  

I know I am not the only elementary teacher with this much stuff.  It's actually quite embarrassing.  The price you pay to have a fun classroom!  As I mentioned before I am still looking for a job.  I have a couple of leads but living in a college town it is extremely tough to come across a job!  So say a prayer because we need that awesome teacher insurance more than ever right now!  

What better way to get back into the groove of things than to go meet up with some amazing bloggers!  I am too pumped for this!  I can't wait to meet everyone that will be there.  Jennifer over a First Grade Blue Skies is the one putting this together!  I may have a little panic attack on my way there at meeting her.  Seriously though!  

Tomorrow begins the start of Mr. Coach's vacation so we are making a little trip up to Atlanta so we can go to lunch and then to IKEA!  Love that place.

I joined bloglovin'!  You can find me here!

Also here is a little measurement freebie that I posted a couple weeks ago!

I promise not to be gone so long next time.  I will be back to tell all about the blogger meet up! EEK!

I'm Still Here...Barely! Freebie Alert!

Ok so I am so sorry for my absence on this poor little blog.  But this is what I have been doing...

And then more packing at home.  I am moving on Friday!  Finally get to be reunited with Mr. Coach and I couldn't be more excited!

Since I have been gone for so long AND I am not sure when I will be updating next due to the move... I have a fun FREEBIE for you!  I absolutely ADORE this center.  It helps that I have the cutest clipart from Melonheadz!  Seriously obsessed with her stuff!  Click on the pic below to go directly to the freebie.  All I ask is that if you download please leave me some feedback!

Rockin' Roll and Read + a Freebie!

Happy Sunday friends!  Who's ready for a little Rock n' Roll?  If you can hang with me for a bit I have a surprise for you at the end!

Well I just got done cranking out a new product.  It's a Roll and Read for Fry's 1st 300 Sight Words.  Let me just tell you, my kiddoes LOVE doing roll and read.  It might help a little bit that they get to use the jumbo dice that I have.  But, regardless they like it!  What they don't realize is that it is helping them to build their fluency while they are playing a fun little game.  This can be done with a partner or independently.  

There are 15 different game boards with each board containing 20 different sight words all mixed together!  Endless fun right here!  If you want to check it out go ahead and click on the picture below!

Ok so I went to Target today and of course had to hit up the Dollar Spot.  I. Have. A. Serious. Problem.  When it comes to Target I have always had a problem.  But every since the started the Dollar Spot years ago, it has gotten 10x worse!  I wanted to share with you a few of the things I got!

They have so many great books right now!  I cannot wait to put these at the reading center.  My littles are just going to eat them up!

Ok the magnifying glasses are my favorite.  I am planning on putting them with the Rockin' Roll and Read for them to use.  It will make it all so much more fun.  I am a bin fanatic.  I plan on using these puppies for holding center materials or counters.  And who can ever have enough file folders?  Especially these cute ones!  My files just got so much more fashionable!

If you hung in with me, then I have a little freebie for you.  Click below on the picture to pick up Fry's First 100 Sight Words Game Boards.  I just loved how these turned out.  They are so cute!  Thanks for dropping by and I hope that these are something that you can use!

The first 2 people to pin this activity and post the link in the comment will get the Full Rockin' Roll and Read sent to them!

It's DONE!!!  I finally finished my first product!  It is jam packed with all things Numbers and Operation in Base Ten for 1st grade.  As many of you know it is very hard to find supplemental materials that are right on target for each skill.  I think that this pack will serve the right purpose and I am so excited to share it with all of you!  I plan on doing this for all the Common Core standards in math.

In this giant pack you will find at least 4 or more pages to go along with each standard that falls under NBT.  There is also a fun Partner Dice Game that you can use in small groups or whole group!  I like to use the activities in this pack in the small group setting but it would also be a great assessment tool!  Ok enough of the blabbing!  Just click on the link below!
