Penguins, Penguins, Penguins!

Hi all!  I hope you are having a wonderful, relaxing holiday break.  I believe the full moon is causing all kinds of chaos in my house with my boys, but other than that--I've been having a blast.  Though, it's going by SO incredibly fast!  We're expecting more snow again-though nothing has actually lasted.  It will be 3 different snow "storms" within a week!  I certainly hope that it's not a preview of this winter!  I'm all for the 2 hour delays, but would rather not have a bunch of days off.  We already have 2 due to Hurricane Sandy...  (I'm also not fond of getting out early and having to weather the storm to pick up my kids... I don't live near my school-and it's all back country type roads, up and down hills to get to my house or to where my kids are!)

Since it's so cold, I wanted to come and post about a great freebie that I have posted in my TPT shop.  It's actually the very first item I had in my shop almost a year ago!  I can't believe how fast time has gone.  The game has students sorting whether a number sentence is true or false.  My kids loved it last year, and I can't wait to get them out again this year.  Click on the picture to go to my TPT store and download it.




This freebie is actually a piece of my very first center packet that I made for TPT.



And my first story problem packet!  My kids were super story problem solvers last year, and it also helped with their writing!


 Last, I renamed my Tacky Penguin Research Packet, so the links might not be working on other posts.  I can't wait to use this when we get back.  We're even going to have a "Tacky" day to celebrate Tacky, along with a week of research of different penguins.  I just think penguins are adorable.

 

I had to share these sites too that I came across on Pinterest.  It's a live webcam of penguins!  How cool!

Come check out my pinterest board with all things Penguins that I have been finding!  Feel free to follow me while there!  Click on the picture to take you there!

I'll be back in a few days to share more about my daily 5 that I never had.  ;)
