Fall is HERE!!!

Fall is HERE!! Fall is HERE!!! 

If you live in Texas like me and you're still dealing with 90+ degree weather don't worry because FALL IS HERE!! and soon very soon we will be enjoying the awesome weather as well...

I'm super excited to be joining a group of awesome bloggers to bring you the best of the best of FALL!!! Make sure you go through all the blog hop so you can find a ton of free resources to use in your classroom this season :) 

Fall is by far my favorite season...why you ask? No, it's not cause of the pumpkin everything...I really don't like anything pumpkin flavored or scented (please don't hate me and keep on reading haha). 

I love fall for so many reasons! Every year I enjoy it even more and here's why:

1. Baking!! 

If you know me you know how much I love baking! I wish I had more time to bake and Fall is just an excellent excuse to do it. I have taken lessons and sometimes is what I do to relax. 

2. Scarves

I'll admit it (just not to my husband)... I'm addicted to scarves. Last time I counted I had 50+. I'm always looking for new combinations and different ways to tie them. It makes me so sad to see them just hanging in my closet all summer! I'm ready to start wearing them again. 

If you like scarves as much as I do, you MUST check this out:

3. School

Fall is my favorite in school as well. I just love the energy that students and teachers bring! I especially enjoy that by this time I've had enough time to get to know my students and we are starting to build relationships. 

This week my class will be working on 3-digit addition with regrouping. I'm trying my best to get my students excited about this tough challenging topic. I created this resource to help them practice addition skills while at the same time review the previous skills that we have learned this year! 

I have included a sheet in English and Spanish so everyone can use it! Remember that if you don't teach in Spanish you can simply choose the pages you wish to print.

I hope this freebie is useful and meaningful in your classroom!

Have a WONDERFUL Fall!

Birthdays

Confession time: Im the terrible when it comes to remembering my students' birthdays. Every year I have the good intention of doing something special for my kids but I always forget or realize there is no time... sound familiar? This year I promised I would not let that happen, especially since I know that many of my kids are not celebrated at home.  

I created birthday bags for each of my kids. I knew I would have to come up with something budget friendly since I have 20+ kids and it can get expensive!! I went to the dollar store and found this:

 I thought they were perfect! 10 bags for a dollar??? I'll take them! 

Then I went on to the fun (but hardest) part... finding treats. Of course, my heart wanted to get different things but my wallet wasn't so sure...

Luckily I found some HAPPY BIRTHDAY pencils at Target for $1.

 These I think were the "most expensive" items I bought. They were a dollar yes, but it only had 6/pack. I brought them anyway! My kids love them!

 Some erasers from Dollar Tree 12 for $1 is a great deal! 

 Then I went to the party section and found these awesome sticker boxes!! 

Every bag also included Smarties

 I created some homework passes to include in there as well. I wish I could have printed them in colored paper. I was in the middle of packing to move into our new house (yay!!) and my paper was packed away! They still turned out super cute! 

You can grab them for FREE here. I've also included a Spanish version :) 

What do you do to celebrate your students' birthdays???
