We made it!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's officially winter break! I am linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching for another 5 for Friday!
I got my kids' Christmas bags ready early this week because I knew it would get busy! I posted this on FB and people were wondering how much I spent. Ready for the answer? $15! I am always on the lookout for deals. Here's the breakdown:
Because I am a little Christmas obsessed, we worked through our Christmas centers earlier in the month and this past week I relied on some good 'ole handy centers: sight words and blends. It was also time to bust out the novelties: play doh and ink pads/stamps.
We've been crafting IT UP lately! One of our favorites was Santa's Stuck by Crafy Bee Creations. You can get it by clicking HERE. I also made a free writing page which you can grab HERE.
We have been working on Bossy R as our Phonics Chunks in class. We practiced with many different activities, including this ar/or Scoot game, which you can grab below.

- Play-Doh-$8.99/36 pack from a deal Amazon had a few weeks ago
- Neon crayons-8 cents each from Walgreens after the back to school rush clearance
- Pencils-$1.00 for the bag from a teacher garage sale
- Erasers-$1.00 for a 12 pack from Dollar Tree
- Bags-Many I had in my gift wrap box. The others were 3/89 cents from Kroger.

My hubby and I celebrated Christmas with my side of the family last weekend. We had a wonderful time! We have a niece who is 18 months and she is great! She's talking and playing with everything. It was obvious who was the most spoiled at our Christmas!
