Jelly Bean Fact Families, A Freebie and Updates

This is the Hubs and mine impulse buy of the night!

Ok, so within the last 12 hours I have sampled 3 brands of jelly beans (um, can I just say this is not an addiction I recommend - man my tummy isn't feeling so smiley!) and I must say that the best I have tasted is the Starburst ones. But the Mike and Ike are close runners up!

Enough talk about jelly beans and on to what the kiddos and I tackled today. To help make Monday Math a bit more exciting, we studied fact families using tasty manipulatives. I made up this practice page (click the picture to download) as our recording sheet. The kiddos ate up this activity! ;)

Tomorrow we are going to have an fact family egg race. More on that tomorrow, so stay tuned!

Now updates: Rebecca and I posted our Sounds for Long A packet on our TpT account. So many fun activities that help our sweet lil' ones practice the 3 main ways to make the long a sound. Check it out here!


Question of the day: Do you follow the new Reading Street program from Pearson? Our school is switching over to it next year and we are wondering what to expect! :)

  12. My programmer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP.
    I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he's tryiong none the less. I've
    been using WordPress on numerous websites for about a year and
    am worried about switching to another platform.

    I have heard very good things about blogengine.
    net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress
    content into it? Any help would be really appreciated!

  13. Hey there! I am about to start my own blog and was wondering if you know
    where the best place to buy a blog url is? I am not even sure if that's what its called? (I'm new to this) I'm referring to "http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7206302002573496550&postID=2156061768340389299". Exactly how do I go about getting one of these for the website I'm building?
    Thanks a lot

  14. I'm starting up a internet website directory and was wanting to know if I can submit your website? I'm trying to
    increase my directory gradually by hand so that it maintains quality.
    I'll make sure and put your blog in the best category and I'll also
    use, "Blogger: Teach Love Laugh" as your anchor text.

    Make sure you let me know if this is acceptable with you by contacting
    me at: octavia.krueger@live.de. Thanks!

  15. I am really loving the theme/design of your blog.
    Do you ever run into any internet browser compatibility issues?
    A small number of my blog visitors have complained about my site
    not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Chrome.

    Do you have any ideas to help fix this problem?

  18. Hey! I know this is kinda off topic nevertheless
    I'd figured I'd ask. Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest writing
    a blog article or vice-versa? My site goes over a lot of the same
    subjects as yours and I believe we could greatly benefit from
    each other. If you are interested feel free to shoot me an email.
    I look forward to hearing from you! Wonderful blog by the way!

  20. Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old
    daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear."
    She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab
    inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go
    back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!
