Now this is over....I need to start getting ready for all the holiday activities we have planned!   I made these cute little number writing sheets for my kids to work on for Polar Express week!   They are great for table work, homework practice, or to use at math time.  I hope you enjoy them!   The link to my TPT account is below!

I Heart My New School!

I'm finally finding the time to post some pics I took before school started of my new classroom.  I feel so lucky to work at a brand new school!   There is so much sunshine in my classroom....no vitamin D deficiencies here!   We really love it!

Getting Ready For Polar Express Day

December is always a busy time of year...but it's my favorite because we always have Polar Express Day!

We will be making lots of projects this year...but I wanted to share with you a few products on TPT that might make your Polar Express Day super fun!

Check out my packet - Hot Chocolate:   A Teachers Guide To Making The Perfect Cup!

This packet includes a very sweet story about how to make the perfect cup of hot chocolate!   Perfect companion to use after reading the Polar Express.

Also check out my - Polar Express - How Many?

This is great table work or busy work for Polar Express Day!
