Money Center
Thank you to Mary at Pitner's Potpourri http://pitnerm.blogspot.com/2012/01/wallet-war-freebie.html Because of her I was able to adapt her FREE wallet war idea for my first graders. Kids play the game like traditional war except for they count the value of the coins on their card. The player having the highest value of coins keeps both cards!
I hope that you enjoy this freebie. Visit my teachers pay teacher story to download for free!

In other news I made one of the most amazing discoveries while pinteresting today. As my hubs would say it was SO PINteresting. http://classroom.booksource.com/ This site - no joke is one of the most valuable things I have ever found. After creating a free account, download the app. to your smart phone (also free). Using the app. you can scan the barcodes of any books in your classroom library and it puts them into a database. Your kids can then checkout books by entering the title or ISBN number on the computer in the classroom. It keeps track of books they read, take home, and how often they are checking out books. Another fab side to this is it tracks the level of books they are reading. This is especially useful with firsties who have a difficult time choosing those just right books. A problem I am sure we all have.

Reading Strategy Posters
The original beanie baby reading strategy posters were wonderful but were much too big for me to post them all together without taking up extra space. Plus, my kids must have cutesie pie pictures to help them really remember the strategy. I hope you enjoy this little freebie! Click the link just below the picture to grab yours for free.

Goooodness Gracious
It has been FOREVER since I have blogged. There are too many amazing blogs out there filling my mind with FABulous ideas that I can't seem to find time to maintain my own blog.
Anywho magoo I have to share my purchase with all who are willing to listen. My incredible hubs bought me a Canon T3i SLR camera for Valentine's Day and I could not be more happy with the results! Conner on the other hand is sick and tired of all the pics I am snappin'.
