WHAT'S THAT WHIMPERING SOUND + ADJECTIVE FOLLOW UP

I think my pocketbook let out a bit of a whimper just now, but BOY OH BOY (in shouty caps) . . . did I ever score the greatest goodies at the TPT Cyber Sale yesterday.  So, I am linking up with sweet Stephanie over at Falling Into First to show off all of my super new goodies!
  

First, I picked up The Teacher Wife's amazing Reading Comp Pack II.  I already scored her first pack back when school started, but when I noticed I could pick up its smart as all get out sibling, I jumped at the chance.  

Next, I was delighted to snag Gingerbread Fun For Little Learners.  The delightful Lori Rosenburg from Teaching With Love and Laughter cooked . . . or should I say "baked" this up! 

Then, I grabbed Winter Wonderland Literacy Centers from one of my favorite ladies -  Gladys from Teaching in High Heels.  I always LOVE her stuff and this pack definitely didn't disappoint.  

Oh yeah, I also quickly slipped in Reagan Tunstall's Techy Santa.  This puppy is brand new to her store!  It just makes me giggle and I know that my crazy kiddos are going to go bonkers when they see it too :)  

Finally, I made sure sweet Sandra's All Bundled Up! Winter Themed Common Core Aligned Math and Lit Centers made it into my cart.  These will be perfect for us when we return in January.  

And . . . I still didn't stop there.  I went back today to finish up my shopping extravaganza with a little extra helping of clip art, frames, and borders.  Yup, that's right!  I scored big with Mrs. Stanford's Class (Jessica), Tales From Outside the Classroom (Tessa), The School Supply Addict (Ashley Hughes), Pink Cat Studio,  and Teaching In a Small Town.  This ultimately is the source of the wallet whimpering, but my heart is SO happy right now.  Thanks oh so much you creative ladies!

Before I go finish my silly report cards (no, I am still not done with these . . . I was holding out on a couple of scores), I promised pictures of the Bakin' Up Adjectives Pack in action.  Well, here you be . . . 

My sweeties were so delighted with this project that the craft ran for nearly 50 minutes.  I was shocked - we even had to bump our library time to Thursday! We will follow up with more adjective gingerbread writing and center activities tomorrow.  I can't wait!

Alright, I am off to do those stinkin' report cards.  They have to be printed tomorrow, so I guess my hands are officially tied in the procrastinating department.  Hugs you all and I'll see you soon with a sweet little freebie that I have been working on!
