Whenever we use a glue stick, we glue right on the paper, even if whatever we are gluing is smaller. Problem is, when we close whatever we are working on, the pages get stuck together. :(

I don't usually get things like this for school at full price, but I have some cupcake activities coming up and I am pretty sure these won't last until they go on sale- and if they do, I will pick up some more!  lol

One idea came from Babbling Abby.


Another for a making words activity- from Brooke at Primary Perspective


Contractions from Teaching in Highheels


Math from The First Grade Parade from her math packet.

Here are some ideas from my Valentine's Day  Unit.


I will be sending home a class list with the students so that everyone gets the same amount of Valentines.

So far I have frog cards and pencils for my students.

What are you planning?
