Versatile Blogger Award
WOW! My little blog got another award! I just have to say thank you sooooo much! Thank you for making my week! I am thrilled with each new follower or comment on my blog. Blogging would not be nearly as much fun without having such great followers and other bloggers to talk with!
1. Thank the person who presented the award to you and link back to them.
Thank you so much to these ladies! I am truly in awe of their blogs! Go check them out at the links below. If you aren’t already following them, I would jump at the chance if I were you! Looking at this list just makes me smile!

- I teach in the same elementary school where I went to school. To make things even better, I am teaching kindergarten this year in the same kindergarten room where I went to kindergarten!
- No one that I teach with has a blog except me!
- I am obsessed with Danskos! I bought my first pair when I was student teaching and now have 10 pairs. Yes they are expensive, but they are the only things I can wear on my feet all day without my feet killing me when I get home!
- I LOVE Mountain Dew! I know this is not a healthy addiction but it is one that I can't seem to break!

Wonderful Winter!
Since I am on Christmas break, I am working on some activities for my winter theme which we will start when we return to school. I hope you will be able to use them too!
I created this game to give my kinderkids more practice with the sight words they are expected to know at this point in the year. I printed 2 sets on blue paper and the students will find the match. If they can't read the word they have to put it back down.
I created this game to have my kids practice matching numerals to sets of objects and the number words during our small group math time. We are just beginning to learn number words so I may pull my hair out to begin with, but I think it will be a fun way for my kinderkids to practice this skill. I printed this on cardstock and laminated for durability.
This sheet has the kids practice counting sets of winter objects up to 20 and practice writing the numbers.
If you choose to use any of these activities, please leave me a comment! Thanks!!

It's a Winter Wonderland...
Since we don't get much winter weather here in SC, we have to pretend. I love doing winter themed activities in my classroom during the month of January. This is such a fun unit and my kinderkids always love learning with winter themed activities. Here are the activities I have created so far on my winter "break".
This game has the kids practice matching rhyming pictures. I plan to use it in my small groups. I printed it on cardstock and laminated for durability.
I created this game to use with my intervention group to help them practice naming and matching uppercase and lowercase letters. They will match the uppercase snowflake letter with the lowercase penguin letter. I printed this on cardstock and laminated for durability.
If you choose to use any of these activities, please leave me a comment! Thanks!!

Update on Gingerbread Man Tens Frames
I made these gingerbread man tens frames a few weeks ago but I couldn't find any small Christmas erasers to use as the counters. This weekend while I was in Walmart I found these Christmas presents "confetti" for $0.97 for each pack with 36 pieces in a pack. My kids played the game today during small group math time and loved it!

Christmas is Coming!
Christmas is one of my favorite times of year so of course I have to incorporate it in my classroom. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas season in your classroom and homes as well!
I created this game to have my kinderkids practice sorting pictures by the syllables in their names. I printed it on cardstock and laminated for durability.
I created a tens frame matching game for my kiddos. They match the numeral to the tens frame with the correct number of dots. I printed the game out, backed it on construction paper and laminated it for durability.
If you choose to use any of these games, please leave me a comment! Thanks!!
