I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We did! We went to my sister's house, and her family had a perfect meal. We had a great time and were all together. I am so thankful!
Does anybody else feel like this?
Here was a favorite school Thanksgiving moment this week. Deedee Wills shared this wonderful Thanksgiving Math book at her blog, Mrs. Wills Kindergarten. I loved to see how my boys were careful to color the Pilgrims the "right" colors, and my girls decked them out in fancy outfits.
Eight inches of this happened. This is our back yard by the pond-
And we were
I can't even complain about 8 inches of snow, because my friend in Buffalo is still trying to get over 8 feet!
This was snow on her screen door-
The snow was really beautiful, but I'm sort of over it already. I hate driving in it or having my kids drive in it. And I don't like cold. Again, it happens every year- I get cold and don't like it. And don't move where it's warm, so I am going to bundle up and embrace the beauty of it. Here's my town all lit up for winter.

The books in this packet are all by 8 authors: Eric Carle, Donald Crews, Kevin Henkes, Laura Numeroff, Amy Krouse Rosenthal, David Shannon, Mo Willems, and Karma Wilson. Once we start reading books by one author, my kids love to read more and more, so we do lots of mini- author studies. That is how I use this set. Although, some days, I will just copy off a prompt for a favorite Kevin Henkes book and have a great lesson with that. Here is a more up close look at the individual author sections.

Have a WONDERFUL weekend! Thank you for stopping by!
Love the chubby kitty! I have tons of left overs to eat, too. Your posts are like gold. So many good things! And, I want to come visit your little town, it looks very sweet. Happy holidays to you, Carolyn. Now, it's time to get parent gifts ready, practice for the holiday program, decorate the classroom and make the next 15 days of school magical for five year old believers!

I totally feel like that "stuffed" cat...lol. The winter picture of your town is beautiful. I love the pictures of the snow, but I'll leave it at that. I don't want to have to shovel my driveway just to get the car out...haha! Looks like you had a great Thanksgiving with your family. Love your winter bulletin boards. Enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend!
