If you need a fun and fast last minute St. Patrick's Day activity, I just created Five Super Leprechauns for St. Patrick's Day subtraction! You get the following items: Shared Reading (color and black/white), Retelling Finger Puppets and a subtraction Emergent Reader. Click on the picture below to take a peek!

When I originally began making hundreds chart activities, I didn't think to always try to fill in the background color so students would be engaged with the majority of the numbers to 100. I basically only required them to color the item that would be revealed in the picture. Now, I always try to add background colors.

I updated my Leprechaun chart listing to include a new chart, along with the old one. You can see the differences in the picture below. The old one (on the right) is much easier because of all the white space. However, it would also be better for differentiating instruction for kiddos who seem to be overwhelmed by nearly 100 numbers. I'm leaving it up to you to decide which one to use with your class if you choose to purchase it. :) If you've already purchased the chart, but sure to go back and download the new update.

I have enjoyed every last minute of the last two snow days!!! We should schedule these in the middle of winter more often! :) Yesterday was all play, so today I got busy working on several hundreds charts that have popped into my mind lately! If you have any suggestions for new charts, I would love to hear them!  Be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom to download a freebie! :)

Tomorrow makes snow day #4 within the last week and a half, so I've had a little time to catch up on a few things. Woo hoo! I want to say thank you to all of you who commented or sent me messages to make sure I was okay and for letting me know that you were glad to see I had posted again. You made my heart happy! :)

Today, I came up with another hundreds chart activity for St. Patrick's Day. It is a rainbow with a pot of gold and a few lucky four leaf clovers! Click on the picture below to grab it from my TpT store for only $1!

The adorable rainbow wind socks that Maria of Kinder-Craze made are definitely on our to do list for spring. I can keep these up for quite awhile, too!

I hope you have a wonderful St. Patrick's Day celebration!

I feel like it's been forever since my last post. In the past week, we took a mini road trip to St. Louis to take my sister-in-law, niece and nephew to St. Louis to leave for Germany for the next few years. They were so excited to be reunited with my brother who is in the Army. The day after we got back, my dad was admitted into the hospital with a blood clot in his arm and chest pains. The following day, my mom went home for the evening and ended up having to take my grandma to the hospital. She tested positive for the flu and pneumonia. She and my dad were at separate hospitals. Last night, a group of teachers and I volunteered after school at Convoy of Hope. Needless to say, I haven't been home much at all lately, so my blogging time has been limited.

At school, we have been testing every spare second to be ready for report cards to go home Friday. Spring Break is next week and we have Kindergarten Academy tomorrow, which means...SUB PLANS! We have school on Monday, but from Tuesday on, I may end up crashing and sleeping through spring break for a mini hibernation. :)

Tonight, I finally had a chance to sit down and work on my mini unit for There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Cover. I discounted the price to $2 since I'm so late in posting it. Feel free to check it out on TpT if you like.


If you haven't already, be sure to head over to Can Do Kinders and print Pam's fabulous emergent reader to go with There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Clover. 


I just purchased some more adorable graphics from Scrappin' Doodles, so look for some Easter freebies soon!

Just popping in to add a freebie for your Math Work Stations for March. I hope everyone is doing well and getting lots of new ideas for March. We are gearing up for our Dr. Seuss celebration and I'm loving all the great ideas I've seen on everyone's blogs and through Pinterest. I have way more resources accumulated that I'll ever be able to use and I'm loving that!

March Math & Literacy Stations Linky Party!
