Spring Freebies

A few weeks ago I had pinned this adorable idea from Mrs. Morrow's Kindergarten .

She had put two dice inside the chick, had the kids shake it, then write addition sentences using the numbers rolled. I looked everywhere for those chicks, to no avail. Until today, when I stopped into the Dollar Tree to pick up sandwich bags and there they were!

Right on the front display. I quick snatched some up and then made this recording sheet to go with them. Grab it for free by clicking on it.

AND right next to those chicks were these cute carrots that I thought would go perfect with our plant unit we are starting next week.

So I grabbed 3 bags of those too, thinking I would make an activity similar to the heart box activity I posted about back in February. So I'm going to number each carrot and then fill each one with letter tiles to make sight words (you could also do spelling words, vocabulary words, cvc words, cvce or ccvc words) and the kids will open each and unscramble and record on their paper. Here's the recording sheet I made to go with the carrots (click to grab for free):

So if you have grabbed either of these two things from the Dollar Tree lately I hope you find these activities useful!

Catching Up!

I'm on spring break and it feels A-mazing!!!! I'm going to try to catch up and share with you all about St. Patrick's Day, Field Day, and our Zoo trip this week!

First though, I am so excited! TPT's feedback points system went live this morning! Here's how it works (from their website)

Earn TpT Credits for purchases on TpT. You get one TpT Credit for every $ you spend on TpT. Thing is, you only get the Credits after you Provide Feedback--both a fair rating and a fair comment--on the items that you purchase. We will round up for you, too! If you provide fair feedback on a $4.75 item, you will earn 5 credits. Every 100 Credits is worth $5 that you can apply towards future TpT purchases, but there is no need to wait until you have 100 to redeem them. 50 credits is worth $2.50, for example. 

Here are a few things I picked up this morning (for free with my points!) That I can't wait to use with my kinders these last 9 weeks!
