Polar Express Day!
Yeah! I finally have put my Polar Express Day into a packet to share with you. I have been doing this special day with my students for quite a few years now.
I send home the Polar Express tickets the night before with a note to the parents. My students are allowed to wear pajamas, bring a stuffed animal, a pillow and a blanket. I greet them at my door (that is decorated like the front of a train engine) and I punch their tickets with a hole punch. The night before, I
put my students chairs 2 by 2 to form a train – they enter my room and they sit on the train and we read the book. We do the various
activities in my packet during the morning and after lunch we watch the movie. I push the tables
and chairs to the sides of the classroom during lunch to make room for the pillows and
blankets. We pause the movie after the Hot Chocolate song and go to our tables
for cookies and hot cocoa (I also buy my cups with lids!). I start the movie once
everyone is served. We also munch on
popcorn while laying on the floor. At the end of the day everyone gets a bell
(Oriental Trading has some awesome big ones with tags that say “Believe” on
them.) I cheat and do the Polar Express Writing train during the first week of
December so that we can enjoy it the whole month long.
Have a fun Day!Here's the link to Polar Express Day! in my Tpt store.

Elf Fun!, Unwrap a Good Book Bulletin Board, and a freebie!
Take a deep breath.... ready?! It's almost December!!!! I've been busy creating things for my class and for friends. I just finished an elf packet. I was wondering what I could hang from my ceiling and in the hall that the students would love ... and I thought ELVES!!!! Every morning in December, the students are always telling me what their elf is up to in their house. If they like to talk about it, they will LOVE to write about it. So on the week after Thanksgiving, I am going to read some cute Elf books (How to Catch an Elf is one of them) and we are going to write, craft, and complete some other learning activities with an elf theme.
I also included a bulletin board I created for a friend. Unwrap a Good Book! Each present opens up to a book report. A fun way to get students reading this month.
And lastly, a freebie for you to use to thank any parents, paras, or volunteers who help your class throughout the year. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you! 😘😘

Anyone Ready for A Day of Grinchy Fun!?
I am ready for December .... ( well, I've been ready in my heart since July) My FAVORITE time of year. I finally put all my ideas for my Grinchy Day of Fun into a packet for other teachers and moms - come share in the fun. Best day ever. We dress up as Whos, the Grinch ... even the cute little dog! Some students just decide to wear green that day. I hang green streamers from my door and play music from the Grinch cartoon. We eat green cookies, we write, we craft, we do grammar and math activities ... we work so hard while having SO much fun! We start the day reading the book and end it by watching the cartoon. Here is a link to my store if you would like to get a copy.

Love You Forever by: Robert Munsch Valentine's Day Fun!
Last week I was creating a sub tub for the possibility of me getting the flu and this week I had the flu! I think I jinxed myself by creating a sub tub. So as you can imagine, it took me a little longer to get this fun Valentine's Day product posted.
Love You Forever. Do you read this classic to your class? Can you read it without crying?! I LOVE this book. I even created a tune to go with the momma's song she sings to her boy while rocking him. The students think the book is hilarious and hang on each word.
So, I created some fun activities to supplement this story and I even threw in some fun Valentine's Day crafts to make life easy on you. Enjoy!

Sub Tub! Emergency sub plans
The flu has been awful this year! I have had students coughing and sneezing on me ... it's just a matter of time before I catch something. I decided I needed to get my emergency lesson plans ready to go.
I copied off the various papers so that I had enough for my class and filed them in my tub along with an example of each activity. I included three fun substitute books that can be used along with the story structure and cause and effect lessons. I filled out my sub lesson plans for each day of the week so that the sub knows all of our specials, what I use in the class to grab the students attention, what I do if students misbehave, how we open the mornings, how we wrap up our days, and what the students can do if they finish their work early. I left my sub tub where it is easy to find and made sure my team teacher knows where it is located in case of an emergency. I am now ready for anything! Grab your sub tub below ...
