A Baby and Some Sticker Books.

Meet Greyson.

He was born on February 22nd--one week before his due date.  It's so crazy, but I must have known he was coming.  On Friday (the 21st), I worked the whole school day, and for some reason, instead of taking my exhausted self home, I felt the need to clean up the classroom, get morning work printed for a few days the following week, and leave out my maternity binder and a few sticky notes with directions.  I'm soooo glad I did.  Because only a few hours later, I was having contractions, and it was baby time!

So, I'm currently on maternity leave, enjoying precious moments with my sweet little guy.

Random thought, but, it is so hard to believe that almost 4 years ago, I was starting this blog.  Emma was then a newborn, and I wasn't sure what do with myself during her naps...so I made a blog!  :)

Anyway, in between feedings, snuggles, nap times, cleaning, playing with Emma, cooking, and a little crafting, I am trying to squeeze in some time to update and refresh old units, and possibly finish ones I have started!  I really do have TpT/creativity ADD--I have at least 4 projects that I started months ago, and have never finished. {I really annoy myself sometimes.}

Here is one of the recent updates that I'm excited about..

My best selling Sight Word Sticker Book is now NEW and IMPROVED!  I love the changes made to it, and I've already been able to put it into use this school year.  I must say...I like it.  I like it a lot.  #justsayin.  {Can you hashtag on a blog?}  #addictedtohashtags  #iblameinstagram  #sorrynotsorry

This NEW sticker book covers all of the Dolch words--and it is split into different books arranged by the Dolch lists: pre-primer, primer, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade--so there are 5 books in all.  This book also includes a sight word *spelling* option, which has been great for differentiating with all of my students.  For my strugglers, I only asked them to read the words for stickers, and for my more experienced readers, I have been able to challenge them to learn how to spell the words to earn their stickers.

Some teachers use these books with all of their students (like me), but I know of many others who use them just for intervention--either way, it has been my most favorite tool in motivating students to practice, learn, and retain their sight words.
