ALL ABOUT SHORT VOWELS + STICK 'EM UP FREEBIE

Oh snap . . . it's over :(  It's really over.  Fall Break was glorious and I am absolutely devastated to see it come to an end.  However, despite this overwhelming feeling that has dished up a healthy serving of "Upset Tummy Sunday," the learning that's on board for the next few weeks is gonna be grand. And . . . shhhhh, don't tell . . . I missed those little kiddies of mine.  Once we get back in the swing of things, it will be just like riding a bike, right?!  

Well, we didn't go anywhere over break and I couldn't have been happier with this decision.  Instead I used the time to catch up on sleep, putter around the house (ha . . . I sound 80), and be a more present wife (no electronics allowed in the evenings).  I also spent my days updating 4 old packets.  Yup, I updated FOUR of my very first TPT packets.  Oh, and I managed to make a whole new packet as well.  I had planned on getting even more done, but alas, my goals were just a little too lofty. 

What did I update you ask?  Well, I managed to knock out ALL of my old short vowel packets (A, E, I, O, and U).  They are much cuter and now they are EDITABLE to make them even more user friendly!  In addition to the individual packs, I slapped 'em in a $$$ saving All About Short Vowels Bundle too!

If you know how I roll, you know that stickin' to your basic word work just ain't for me.  Yes, it has it's place and it's present in these packets.  However, from time to time, I like to switch things up a bit.  With this said, my goal with all of these packs was to create meaningful activities that turn short-term moments into long-term learning.  Here's a taste of some of the activities . . . 

Before I leave, how about a little short vowel freebie . . . to really give you a taste of what these packets are all about??!!  I bring you Stick 'Em Up.  This out of the box silly team game is sure to have your kids giggling, learning, and workin' together!  Talk about a win-win-win :)

I will be rollin' with this ditty in my own room on Wednesday.  I will be back with action shots for sure.  My babes are going to eat this up.  I think I am going to toss in a bell or a buzzer that the teams need to hit when they are finished . . . just to add a little more rowdy sizzle . . . hehehehehe :)

Alright, I have a few too many holes in my lesson plans.  I'm still ironing out the final details for the week.  So much to fit in and SO little time.  BLARG!!!  Oh, and I almost forgot . . . I put that bundle on sale.  It's 20 percent off through Monday!! Anyway, big hugs my friends.  Good luck this week and I'll see you soon.
