Greetings all! ๐Ÿ™‚
This weekend I put a few freebies on my facebook page.  I thought I’d place them here as well for those of you who may have missed out on my quick giveaway over the weekend! ๐Ÿ™‚  I’ve been hanging on to these sweet toucan clips from Ashley Hughes and I just needed to whip up something bright for spring…so…here they are! ๐Ÿ™‚  Just click on the picture for the google doc! ๐Ÿ™‚

This game is a take off of GO FISH.  Students can sort the words for long vowel sounds or short vowel sounds.  We are going to play it tomorrow in class.  Hopefully, I’ll have some cute pics of my adorable firsties engaged in the game for you! ๐Ÿ™‚  
Next up, a little game I call You ‘Tou’can Add! ๐Ÿ™‚  
Something that I’ve been working on with my centers is creating games that can be played again and again.  This is one of those games.  We tested it out in class today! ๐Ÿ™‚  I started in a small group, and we only added with 10 until they caught on.  One of my boys came up with adding the tens together and then the ones at the end as a ‘short cut’! ๐Ÿ™‚  ALL BY HIMSELF! ๐Ÿ™‚  Love this bunch! ๐Ÿ™‚  They make me so proud!
Anyway…check this out…my kids loved it! ๐Ÿ™‚

Thanks to my partner in crime, Daina Roberts, I’ve ‘cute-end-up my freebie titles! ๐Ÿ™‚  Love that chick! ๐Ÿ™‚  If you have not been over to her blog…it’s the one with glitter!  LOTS OF LOVE AND GLITTER! ๐Ÿ™‚
Daina is having her first giveaway!
I’m giving away my ‘Let Them Eat Cake’ centers, which my class is working through this week! ๐Ÿ™‚
So much fun! ๐Ÿ™‚
Go on over and say hello! ๐Ÿ™‚
Don’t forget to tell her I sentcha! ๐Ÿ™‚

      Thanks for linking up! For some reason, your link isn't hyperlinked to come back to you :o( Also, apparently my computer doesn't like other blogger's email buttons, lol, so if you would like a copy of my April Writing Prompt Calendar send me an email at swilliams214@yahoo.com.

      Thanks again!
