My Truth Monday

Over at "Sunny Days in Second Grade" I read about Denise's holiday disasters...and now whenever I think about sweet potatoes I'll be thinking about her story.  Hilarious!

For my holiday disaster...I don't recall the holiday but I do recall we were at my mother in law's house and the kids in the family were making dinner for the parents.  I was making some packaged potato au gratin...not hard to do...just follow the directions.  Well it turned out really watery but it tasted fine until...I went to season it with a little pepper. The lid popped off and the entire contents of the pepper shaker dumped into the potatoes. Well my husband's family was so nice and ate them anyway but I did notice them stifle a few coughs from eating all that pepper. So that's my holiday food disaster...what's yours?  Can't wait to hear it!

I updated one of my TPT products and added a new one this past weekend. Click on the pics below to check them out. You can see some other updates that I mentioned Friday here.

Currently, A Freebie, and Counting/ Segmenting Sounds

Thanks to Farely over at "Oh Boy Fourth Grade" for the festive December Currently.  I love the cute Christmas lights on it!  I also have my Friday Freebie waiting for you...click on the picture below to get yours...opps it's really Saturday but I had a hot date with the hubs so the freebie had to wait :)

I just put a set of 6 worksheets for counting and segmenting sounds...you can click on the picture above to get your set.  We have been working on magic, bossy, silent (so many names for a letter!) E in my walk to read class.  I have the lower group and while they are the sweetest kids on the planet it is definitely a challenge.  Getting phonics rules to stick in their little brains takes a massive amount of energy and creativity and maybe me acting like a nut once in a while.  I will share some pictures and other goodies with you that we have been doing in class with magic, bossy, silent E next week.  Happy weekend and apple on!
