Snow days!

Well, I'm a little behind. Again! This post was supposed to happen last week. Oh well, better late than never. I'm linking up for another Five for Friday (on Sunday) post.
This is my favorite kind of linky party because it's a little random...that is right up my alley. It's been a crazy couple of weeks in the land of oz. We were smack dab in the middle of that winter storm that blew through the Midwest and as a result our school got to enjoy 4 (yes that's right 4) snow days. School was let out several hours early on Wednesday and we did not go back until the following Wednesday!
 
 
There were actually 2 separate waves of storms that came through. The first dropped around 14-16 inches of snow in our area and the second around 6-8. It was such a wonderful gift of moisture and family time.
 
I was in heaven snuggling my little one and getting projects done around the house! Here's a picture of one of the several Pinterest projects I was able to knock off my to do list. Just a clearance canvas picture from Hob Lob, paint, 2 inch foam brush, and a glass of wine required. I love that it didn't cost a lot or take much time to make so that if I get sick of it there will be no guilt when I switch it out for something else.
 
I also found time to finish up a few TpT projects I had been working on. Visit my little store to check them out!

We celebrated our baby girl's first birthday this weekend. It was such a special day. The theme was You Are My Sunshine and she was all smiles. I don't know what we ever did without her.

 
That was my week in pictures. I promise I have a more "schoolish" week planned for this next one. Lots to do before parent/teacher conferences!

Literacy Center Response Sheets for Young Learners

One of my favorite centers in my classroom is the listening center. I have a wonderful variety of books and CDs ordered from Scholastic and my students LOVE listening to them. I like that my listening center is always ready to go with very little planning. Just change out the story and the response sheet and the kids are set. This fall I discovered a problem. Somehow I lost my entire file of listening center response sheets! This was super frustrating and prompted a serious multi-weekend classroom organization project. Every cabinet, cupboard, drawer, and even file cabinet was cleaned out. Still no missing file of response sheets! Sigh. What's a girl to do? I did what any TpT/teacher blogger would do... created a set of simple literacy center response sheets that are easy enough for kindergarteners (even beginning of the year kinders). Click here to visit my TpT store and check them out for yourselves. Happy center time! Click here to preview and download.
