So please forgive my absence if you're someone who has visited here. Here is what I've been up to.
- working on a master's degree (I will hopefully graduate in May 2014.)
- learning how to sew & quilt thanks to a couple wonderful cousins!!!
- running an after school club at my school- Craft Club- it is a lot of fun doing craft projects with kids and teaching them how to make cards and create cool things
- moving classrooms and grades every school year (ugh!)- now I'm back in kindergarten & I have a really good group of kids this year!
- being grade level chair and a teacher leader- and trying to not stink at both
- learning how to create professional looking, high quality learning materials for my students as well as to share & sell with colleagues and the teaching community
This past fall, in an effort to grow myself as a teacher and looking for ways to share but also to help supplement our income, I stepped out of my comfort zone and created a teacher "store" at Teachers Pay Teachers and at Teachers Notebook. I am working hard to improve myself in this area. The next step is to share more, so I will be using my blog to share craft things I create as well as teacher things. I hope you won't mind. It'll be fun, I promise! :)
In that spirit, I'm sharing a freebie I posted last night- Where is Sneaky Snowman?
My kids LOVED LOVED LOVED a similar game I made in November, so I know they're going to be super happy when they come back to school this week to meet the sneaky, sneaky snowman who is hiding in our numbers pocket chart. :) I hope you can use this with your students or a family member who is learning their numbers. :) You can find it here, here, or here.
I'm also linking up with this great site that I LOVE!!! Be sure to visit, especially if you are a teacher, homeschooling parent, or know a young learner. You'll find some wonderful things to use; I know I do!!!
Hope you had a wonderful holiday season and that the new year brings you much joy and love!
Beka :)
