It's Giveaway Day!
Good morning! If you will head on over to our All Things Upper Elementary Blog, you can enter for a chance to win my January Writing Bundle. I will randomly select three lucky winners. All you have to do is leave your email address in the comment section of the post at ATUE. While you are there, you can also download a freebie from me to use in your classroom. Good luck and I hope you have a fabulous Friday!
Writing through January
I have done a complete overhaul on all of my monthly writing bundles...in fact, I have not uploaded all of the months yet because I am editing all of them. However, the January Writing Bundle is up and ready for you! I think you will find these bundles are wonderful resources to have in your possession.
In each writing bundle, you will find 20 journal topics for the month. The journal topics come in two formats: (1) two journals per page complete with a journal cover page to make into a booklet or insert into a binder and (2) cut-and-paste topics to add into a notebook. You choose which format works best for your classroom!
Also included are three essay prompts. There is one informational prompt, one argumentative prompt, and one narrative prompt. You will get a writing prompt page with an organizer for the students to organize their thoughts, writing papers, and a scoring rubric.
Below are some pics of what you might find in the writing bundle. I hope you will check it out!
Ringing in a New Year!
Wow! It is 2014 already! I simply cannot believe how quickly 2013 began and ended. There are many things that I would like to accomplish in 2014, but I am going to have to wait until a later post to outline those for you...I have to choose the ones that I know I can hold myself accountable for and accomplish.
Since it is January 1st, it is time for Farley's Currently.
Listening: Football, football, football...that is all you hear in our house right now (all day and probably night, too). I am disappointed the UGA Bulldogs lost today, but I am still proud to be a fan!
Loving: I have truly enjoyed every second of this break. I love my little family and love spending time with them.
Thinking: We are going to see Walking with Dinosaurs tomorrow. It is going to rain, so it will at least give us an fun outing.
Wanting: I want my house cleaned. Period.
Needing: Absolutely nothing! I am blessed beyond measure and cannot think of anything I need.
Memory and/or Tradition: When I was a little girl, I remember baking cookies at Christmas. This is something I have carried over to my little family. My daughter and I love to bake (and eat) cookies. Then she gets to leave them out for Santa.
I hope everyone has a joyful January!
December Currently
It's December! Wow! It is hard to believe, but it is here. When we came home from church today, we ate lunch and then turned on the television. What did we find? Christmas movies playing all day long. I am a sucker for some Christmas movies. There is actually one coming on tonight that looks like a tear-jerker. I do not know why I let myself watch them because tomorrow morning I will have swollen eyes and look a mess. But, you can bet I will watch them anyway!
I have L-O-V-E-D- all of the extra time I got to spend with my little girl this week. She is growing up so fast- too fast for my liking. We made ornaments to go on the tree, we read books, we went to see the new movie Frozen (so cute!), and we bakes goodies. We had lots of fun!
This week ends my first semester of my doctoral program. It has been a lot of reading, reading, and more reading. Research, research, and more research. But it is winding down, and I have a final this week I really need to study for. The problem is, I don't know where to begin. We have covered so much material that I honestly don't know what to study.
One holiday tradition that I look forward to each year is riding to look at all of the Christmas lights around town. I love them! I have vivid memories of doing this every year as a child, and we have continued that with our little family. Avery Claire is getting to the age where she loves them, too!

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.

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.
Another "new" resource I just listed is A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens {Novel Study} for grades 7-12. 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.
Now it is time for you to head on over the Fourth Grade Studio's blog and enter the "It's All New" Giveaway! You do not want to miss out on all of the wonderful resources up for grabs!
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.
