More Spelling Word Fun & FREEBIES!


Wow, tomorrow will be our 10th day of school! {Don't tell anyone, but I am seriously exhausted by 3:00!} We had our first spelling test on Friday-just a few review words from kindergarten to get these firsties accustomed to taking spelling tests. This week we have our full list-10 words plus a bonus word so, it was time to pull out my spelling word activities. I have a handful of activities that the kiddos work on first thing in the morning as they are doing their morning jobs {lunch choices, bathroom, folder check, etc...). I use these activities all year long, which works out GREAT! Once the kids understand the directions, they can independently practice their spelling words while I take care of all that  morning housekeeping stuff. I LOVE IT! I designed my first collection of activities- "Spelling Word Fun"- for 10 spelling words plus a bonus word.  I've had several requests for the spelling activities for use with 15 spelling words. So...I have just posted "Spelling Word Fun 2"- The same super-fun activities, just made for 15 spelling words instead of 10. The kiddos just LOVE these activities! {Sshhh! Don't tell them that they are learning!} You can check these out at TEACHERS PAY TEACHERS & TEACHERS NOTEBOOK.
And speaking of requests, I've had oodles of emails asking about the borders that I used in many of my labels & posters. Thank you all sooo much for your sweet comments! Well, I have to confess...I AM A CLIPART ADDICT! I'm not even kiddin' about this...I have nightmares about my computer crashing & losing my clipart-{probably should be a little more worried about all the important files that I'll need at tax time! lol} I use a lot of borders from DJ Inkers and I also make many of my borders using Word, Paint & Adobe Photoshop. One of my recent favorites is the zebra-print border. So here is the PDF file of my zebra borders with various color accents-just click the pic below for your FREEBIE!

I'm also getting started on my last batch of classroom labels {like the ones listed below}. I will post them as soon as I finish up.

Ok, it's getting late...my lil ones are fast asleep & now it's time to tuck my cute lil pooch into her bed. Isn't she cute? Silly dog is all wet in this pic-she's loves playing in the sprinkler! Just love my lil Foxy Roxy!!!

SPELLING WORD FUN! and more Classroom Labels!!!!

Happy Tuesday everyone! Not sure what the weather is like where you are but, it is dog-gone HOT here!!  Took a lil walk this morning with my kids and I looked like I lost a fight with a fire hose by the time we made it back home-Whew! The bright side is that it was just too hot for me to do yardwork (oh, well! ha ha!) so I finished up my next set of classroom labels. After I posted my Classroom Supply Labels, I had oodles of requests for more so....here they are! Can anyone say FREEBIE!!!!
If you like these, just click the pic for your copy. Happy to share with everyone-all I ask is that you become a follower (if you are not already) and leave me a lil comment-I love getting feedback from you guys!!!

I am also SuPeR ExCiTeD to have my "Spelling Word Fun" unit ready!!! This is packed with fabulous activities that can be use with any spelling words. I love 'em & so do my kiddos! I just alternate the activities-we do one each morning right when the kids are arriving. Once they understand the directions, its a breeze for them to work independently! That gives you a few minutes to take care of all of that morning housekeeping-attendance, lunch counts, sorting notes, etc... You know what I'm talkin' about!!! These activities are a real life-saver for me! Well, take a look and see what you think!!!
