I'm Thankful for You

It is the time of year we begin to look around and reflect upon all of the things we are truly thankful for. I know I have so much to be thankful for, and I also know I should remember it more often than I do. I have a wonderful Savior who paid the price for my sins, a sweet little family, great friends, an awesome job with awesome people, and I have met some fabulous friends through Teachers Pay Teachers and blogging. In recognition of all of my online friends, I am putting all of my Thanksgiving Resources on sale November 22-25th. If you have been looking for a fun, engaging resource to use with your students, hop on over and get it on sale. Thank you for being loyal followers and friends. I am thankful for you!

New in November

November is one of my favorite months of the year. In celebration of my birthday, my favorite month, and some spectacular blogging buddies, I have teamed up with Meg from Fourth Grade Studio for her "It's All New" Giveaway. 

I have several "NEW" items I have been working on lately. 

One "new" item is I have bundled some of my best Thanksgiving resources into one. It is called Thanksgiving Bundle {Grades 1-3}, and it includes my Thanksgiving Activities {Literacy and Math}, Pilgrim Prepositions, and Turkey Talk {Nouns and Verbs Center Activity}. This bundle is a wonderful resource to use with students in Grades 1-3.

Included in this novel study: vocabulary and vocabulary quizzes, plot, characterization, discussion questions for Stave 1-5, quizzes for Stave 1-5, a PPT with the vocabulary words, and a jeopardy-style review game for the novel.

It's November, Everyone!

It's November! I just love this time of year. For one, it is my birthday month (today actually). Secondly, I love November because it reminds me to remember all of the things in my life I am thankful for. It is also the month the holiday season begins...family gatherings for Turkey Day followed by decking the halls for the Christmas season. Of all of the months of the year, November is on the top of my list. 

I am teaming up with Oh Boy 4th Grade's Currently Linky today. All of my other "currently" listening, loving, thinking, wanting, and needing are all pretty simple. I love the idea of the last "a yummy pin" because I always see so many things I want to try on Pinterest. I am addicted to Pinterest like I am to Teachers Pay Teachers! Oh Boy! 

A yummy pin...Samao Cheesecake! Yes ma'm! I love those cookies the Girl Scouts sell each year. I pinned this the other day, and the ingredients are already on my grocery list to purchase. 

Bonfires, Football, and Family

ATUE Giveaway

Fall. It has arrived in south Georgia. Sometimes we do not really have a true "Fall" where we live; however, this year, it is has made its appearance. And we love it! Many times our weather switches from hot to cold and back to hot before we truly experience the cool, crisp air and the colorful leaves. But this year, we are thankful to have Fall upon us. 

The part I like best about Fall is family. This is the time of year where we love to sit around bonfires, roast marshmallows, and warm up by the crackling fire. We love to watch our UGA Bulldogs play. And we love to spend time together. So definitely the best thing I like about Fall is getting to spend quality time with my family making memories that will last a lifetime. 

We are excited about our FALLing into a Giveaway at ATUE. Hurry on over and enter for your chance to win a gift certificate. You will read each blogger's post and find out their favorite part of Fall. It will be fun!

September Currently

Hello, September! I cannot believe it is already September! We have been back in school for almost one month now, and the time seems to be flying by quickly. Once again, I have linked up with Farley's Currently Linky!

My little family went to the beach this weekend. We had a fabulous time, and the weather was perfect. I think it rained at our house the entire time we were gone, so I was glad that we took the opportunity to have one last little getaway before the cooler weather comes. Since we had today off from school, I told my daughter that she had to go through her toys and pick the ones she wanted to give away to other boys and girls. She is having a hard time parting with any of them, even the ones that have been at the bottom of her toy box and have not seen the light of day in forever. 

I really need to finish some projects I have already started. I am really good about starting projects around the house and not 100% finishing them. I have to finish them now so I can move onto something else. I also have a few TpT projects that I have been working on, and I think they are going to be great!

There are several things I need to do: 1) I need to run at least four times per week. I have not been doing this, and I need to because I always feel better. 2) I definitely need to drink more water. and 3) I need to begin shopping for Christmas. I know, it is only September. But I need to get busy picking up a present here and there so I won't feel so overwhelmed when December comes. I would like to enjoy the holiday season this year without having to worry about shopping, wrapping, etc. 

I hope everyone has a fantastic week!
