Giveaway, T-S, T-T Connections and Freebies

Today was my first day back since our holiday break.  We had staff development and then I spent many hours unpacking and putting my classroom back together.  You may remember my earlier post about Packin' Up.  Our K/1 wing had to pack up and get everything off of the floor before the break because they replaced our floors.  I'm happy to say that everything is back in place and my floors look clean, shiny and new!  

On that happy note, I want to spread the word:

I am participating in Samantha Kelly's giveaway over at Mrs. Kelly's Klass.

 
She is celebrating 200 followers with a massive giveaway!  At least 50 items have been donated by fellow bloggers and TpT sellers.  She separated it into 3 rafflecopters.  That means you have 3 changes to win!  You need to head on over to her blog or click on the image below.

I'm donating my Starring Silent "e".  You can take a closer look over at my TpT store.  In this activity the students will practice building and reading words with silent "e".  It can be used to teach and model changing CVC words to CVCe words or it can be given as independent practice.

Included:

8 picture word building cards

8 silent "e" picture cards

Recording sheet

Before the Holiday break, my Firsties and I were practicing Text-to-Self Connections.  This week, we will spend a few days reviewing before we begin learning about Text-to-Text Connections.  Here are some posters and recording sheets I created for T-S and T-T Connections.

I'm joining Manic Monday at Classroom Freebies.

I'm not looking forward to that obnoxious alarm clock going off bright and early in the morning, but I am looking forward to seeing my sweet first graders.  I have missed them!
