Eat, drink, and be ScArY....

OH MY GRAVY...this girl is t.i.r.e.d. Unfortunately, I can't seem to sleep. I pray that I am not being to cranky with my little loves! I really try to stay focused on our goals and keeping positive. I can't complain because I adore my class and I am in LOVE with my little miracle, who by the way spends about 75% of the entire day doing Kung Fu. I have to share some pictures of how I celebrated Columbus Day...
That my friends, is the most amazing thing I have ever seen in my life. I am unbelievably in awe and blessed. You have just peeked at my little boy!!!!


On to some school stuff...
I have some answers to recently posed questions...


How do I fit in all the extras with all the curriculum?
* I will be completely honest, I don't fit in all the extras all the time. The activities that are in color are usually taught during our Morning Meeting and then added to a tub for work center time. During work centers, the group that gets the tub can choose the activities they want to complete. The worksheets always supplement things that we are doing in class. Now that all being said...I really try to stay organized and try to utilize every moment of the day; however, sometimes we simply run out of time.


* Fall Activities are coming!


* Most of my clipart and all of my fonts are from DJ Inkers. I can't even tell you which ones are the best because I truly LOVE them all. I am the biggest Clipart junkie...eVeR. I have an addiction. Some of it is from some old Carson Dellosa clipart CD's.


"You kept me up all night waiting for the Great Pumpkin, and all that came was a beagle. I didn't get a chance to go out for tricks or treats."


I know Halloween is a touchy time of year. Many schools do not allow Halloween activities; however, I am not at one of those schools, so I do enjoy Halloween activities. This is the first year in a while that all of my students enjoy Halloween festivities...I will be taking full advantage of this! I, as always, am thankful for those of you who leave me kind words. I truly appreciate it. I hope you find something that you can use. I didn't include descriptions, mainly because I am just too tired to think, lol. I think everything is pretty self explanatory. If you need something specific answered, just shoot me an email smorss99@gmail.com.


Enjoy!
Shannon

    Thank you so much! My students have enjoyed your beginning of the year Pete the Cat books. I can't wait to use these with my students.

    I had my son's "first Halloween picture" taken by a nurse dressed as a referee. Congratulations! You will love this next journey in your life.

    I cannot say thank enough for sharing your amazing creativity with all of us out here in cyberspace. You are radically transforming my attitude and enthusiasm. After 16 years in kindergarten, I was depressed about how little I can teach due to new standards and a new principal, and was looking for a way out. Your blog has brought new life into my career and my classroom. THANK YOU Shannon, and best wishes on your new little one.

    Oh My Cuteness! Thanks so much for sharing these! I am so thankful they are free...this girl is on a double-teacher's salary (my handsome is also a public school teacher), so I normally can't afford most of the stuff they post on TpT. Thank you. A million times thank you.
