Geometric Shapes and Lines Art

Hey everyone!! I am so excited! I am going to the circus today and I can't wait!! Ringling is in town and I haven't been in two years! I will take pictures for you!

Anyway, I have finally gotten around to creating some clip art this morning. I had a request for some geometric shapes and lines. I know it has taken me forever. I am going to work on that. I have just had so much going on at school!! Here is a preview of the Geometry Lines and Shapes packs.

I plan on working on another request for 3D geometric shapes with real life examples and a fractions set. I hope to have at least one of those posted tonight, but it may be tomorrow since I am heading to the circus later on!

If you want to grab yourself one or more of these sets, click here or on the clip art button in my sidebar. If you like my clip art, please add me as a favorite shop on Teacher's Notebook! It would make my week! I have just made the move from Etsy to TN, so I don't know if people are confused and think I have disappeared. Please help me spread the word that I am still doing clip art! =)

I also wanted to let you know that I am one of the sponsors for the Be My Valentine Exchange hosted by Sarah at Kindergarten Korner and Caitlin at Mr. Preppy! You could win a free set of clip art from my Teacher's Notebook store! Head over there to check it out and participate.

Happy Sunday! 

I hope to post again later about my 3D shape set! And I also have a Valentine newsletter coming your way!!

Freebie and Some Clip Art News!!

I have made the move from my Etsy shop to Teachers Notebook for my clip art! It will be so much easier for me now! From this point on, if you could please use my Teachers Notebook Clip Art gallery to purchase your clip art. You can visit the link in the side bar to head over there! Now you don't have to wait for me to e-mail your files! You can just download them from TN!

You can click HERE to visit my new clip art shop!

I was going to participate in the tag game today, but I am just too tired! 

BUT, I did want to share a freebie creation from tonight. We are doing animal research papers and I made this graphic organizer to help students organize their research information into five paragraphs. We are requiring them to have an introduction paragraph, a paragraph about their animal's life cycle, a paragraph about its habitat, a paragraph about it adaptations and defenses, and a closing paragraphs with interesting facts learned about their animals!

Tomorrow, we will be filling in this graphic to help us outline our information!

FYI: TS stands for topic sentence! =)

Sound Scoot

Hey friends! I feel like it's been forever. I have been so busy, and tired. Did I mention busy??? I have so many requests of clip art to make and Common Core vocabulary cards to finish and I just feel like I have NO time!! 

I wanted to let you know about a new game I made to help students review all about Sound! I discovered Maree True Loves clip art shop on Etsy and I LOVE IT! I used her graphics to make this game and I am very pleased with how cute it came out!

 This game was a huge hit in my classroom! I have been seeing all sorts of blogs about this "Scoot" game and so I created my own! 

You can snag a copy in my TN shop by clicking my shop button below.

 In other news, my 3rd grade teammie has opened her own TN shop! Click the button below to visit her new Teachers Notebook shop! I also placed the button in my sidebar if you want to grab it!

I have also been tagged by Soaring Through Second, First Grade at Klinger Cafe, and Living a Wonderful Life. I don't want to overdo this post, so I will do another post to participate in this tomorrow! I also hope to  have some time to crank out some new clip that I have had in my sketchbook for weeks and some new common core cards for 4th grade by Sunday. Fingers crossed!!

Also, I am in the process of opening a Clip Art gallery on Teachers Notebook! I currently have the shop set up but nothing in it! I think I may even eventually put all my clip art there and close my Etsy shop. It is so hard to have to e-mail each individual person their clip art! So, stay tuned for that in the near future!

Seriously disappointed

I don't have anything kind of freebies to share today, but I did have something that concerned me when I checked my email today and I wanted to just approach you bloggers out there. I received an email to my Teacher's Notebook from a fellow blogger who shall remain anonymous. She informed me that a teacher in her district purchased a set of my Common Core Word Wall cards for a certain grade level and posted them on her districts common access drive that ALL teachers in her district have access to. I just wanted to make sure everyone was aware that these are for personal use only. They are not for sharing with an entire district. I don't mind people sharing things like this with their grade level, but an entire district really is kind of appalling. I just hope that everyone understands how much time was spent on creating those and that it really isn't fair to just give away to who knows how many people. I was just a little bummed to learn this when I came home tonight. 

What do you all think I should do?? I don't even know if I can really find out who did it, but I would appreciate any advice!

Tall Tales

Don't forget that my Teacher's Notebook shop sale will end tonight at midnight! So go take advantage while you can! =)

This week, we are focusing on Tall Tales and I am so excited!! My kids had so much fun last week learning about fables. I overheard so many comments from my students about how much they loved reading them! I think they will love these tall tales even more!

I made another graphic organizer like last week and I wanted to share. It is very similar to last weeks but I changed some of the categories based on the characteristics of Tall Tales.

If you wish to download, please head to my Teacher's Notebook shop and grab yourself a copy! Just click the image above to go download!

Here are some of the Tall Tales I am reading this week:

Also, on an embarrassing note, it was pointed out that I left out the letter W in my Bubbly Alphabet set. I am working on getting it fixed right now so I will email the corrections to those of you who have purchased it when I get it taken care of!
