A BIG WATERMELON WELCOME - BACK TO SCHOOL PACK

It's a miracle I tell ya!  I finally finished my watermelon-flavored Back To School Pack.  I have no idea what happened, but as the ever-popular Katie King would say, my "creative mojo" went missing.  It took me nearly two weeks to get 'er back, but I finally found it hiding in some dark and dingy corner.  Good grief!! So, without further ado . . . here she is in all her glory . . .

Make a watermelon number line for your classroom that very first day!

Slice of Me Flipbook (K-2 Versions Included) -
Get to know the kids and create an awesome "get to know you" bulletin board to boot.

The majority of the projects/activities in this packet have been levelized (i.e. multiple versions) to fit the needs of grades K-2.  I figured that since I had the template already made, I might as well change it up a bit to fit a broader spectrum.  Click over to TPT to see more details!  

Oh yeah . . . and I couldn't let the opportunity to include one of my dad's songs (Ron Brown's Intelli-Tunes) slip us by.  When I used this packet in my classroom last year, I wanted a little "simon says" ditty to help me check out my new kiddos' listening skills.  Hence, Mr. B wrote me the "Watermelon Game."  This one is a crack up and the kids LOVE it.  I always love to watch them freak out when they do something that the "farmer" did NOT tell them to do :)  This awesome tune comes free with the packet . . . or you can snag it alone for 99 cents HERE!

Perfect for K-1 :)

I couldn't let you walk away without a watermelon-style freebie, now could I??!! If you haven't noticed, I am ALL ABOUT the freebie :).  Below you will find directions for my Super Seed Tea Party.  I love to do activities that get my kids interacting right off the bat.  This is a prime example.  Click on the link below to download the templates and the directions!

Thank you Goodness & Fun for the cute watermelon slices!

On a final note today, my super-awesome bloggy friend, Susan over at T.G.I.F (Thank God It's First) is hosting a 100 Follower Giveaway and I got to be involved (YAY!!).  She is giving away some fantastic items - you just gotta go check it out.  Click on her button to enter!  

     

The coolest part is that I get to meet Susan face to face in a few short weeks. We are both going to the Vegas Blogger Meet-Up!  I cannot wait to shake her hand . . . wait . . . who am I kidding?  I am going to plant a HUGE hug on this woman :).  Good times for sure.

Well, that's it my friends. I am off to finish up my Short O unit and a guest blogger post (wouldn't you like to know . . . hehehe). Thanks so much for visiting and I'll see you tomorrow. 

WAIT!!  The doorbell just rang and a little brown Amazon box appeared.  Good thing our anniversary was yesterday as my husband isn't going to be getting much attention for a while . . .
