Hello Everyone! The Olympics are so inspiring!  I know it's impossible, but I wish they came around more often than every four years!! I love hearing the back stories of all the athletes.  I love hearing them thank their moms and dads, or another significant person in their lives. Makes me tear up every time!  In between those stories and the amazing events, I updated my 2014 Olympic unit a bit.  I added several new math games. I hope you can use them! Here are a few pics of the 55 page unit. CLICK HERE for your free 55 page unit!! Hope you're having fun watching the Olympics as well!! Hope this encourages your kids to watch too. OOPS!!  Gotta go!  Figure skating's coming on!! My fav! Have a great week!  Thanks for stopping by! Joyfully! Nancy

Hello Everyone!! Hello February!!  I truly can't believe it is February already!   Or should we call it Febrrrrrrrrrrrary. It has been so cold everywhere!  Our little Texan firsties want snow so badly, but all we've gotten is cold!!  and ugh...flu!    Has the flu hit your area yet? I hate it when my littles are sick. Poor babies. We have been sanitizing like nobody's business!!!  Stay healthy out there!!! In sticking with the cold weather, we decided to celebrate Sneezy the Snowman ! If you haven't read this book by Maureen Wright, you have to run and grab a copy!  It has very quickly become my kids' fav for the season!  Some sweet characters share some of their personal items to help Sneezy the Snowman warm up!! So cute! We created a little mini unit to capture the essence of that little man!  AAAHHHCHOOOOO! Not included in the unit, but in the snow unit I shared last time, is snow paint. We created the paint, painted Sneezy's...

Happy New Year Everyone!!! I can't believe it's been almost a month since my last post.  I had full intentions of posting during our winter break, but I had so much family stuff going on. We did a ton of cooking, movie watching, game playing, furniture refinishing, pantry organizing, and just plain chillin'! I loved every single minute of it. It was all low key, but it was the best! I want to share a couple of pics of our Grinch day! It was so fun and the kids had a blast! We got to do almost everything in my unit! Take a peek! Such a fun day, and the kids did do a little learning along the way!!! :) Last week was a review week in science, so we decided that because of the "chance" of snow, we needed to do a fun activity to celebrate snow! While thinking about that, my awesome teammate mentioned that you could get snowballs at the local Bahama Buck's, a shaved ice place.  Genius!!! So, of course, I went a got some!! For these little Texas kids who don't se...
