Whew!





First and foremost---I cannnnnnnnot believe it's been so long since I've posted ANYTHING! Whew! Where does the time go???
Well, when you are as darn clumsy as I am--it goes by slowly! I had a horrible thing happen a few weeks ago. I was microwaving water, and the bowl exploded in my hands causing 2nd and 3rd degree burns! I was  in an incredible amount of pain for about 10 days..but I'm finally feeling better now! I am just hoping it doesn't scar too badly. This might be *tmi* but I did NOT know this could happen! I wanted to share it with you because at the hospital they told me, it's actually pretty common and most people never knew it was dangerous! The water did not even appear to be boiling and was only in the microwave for less than 3 minutes!! Major Ouch!

So once I was able to back to work  as a long term sub in a Pre K Classroom..I was ready to dive right in! 
First, we finished our garden unit! We used my Garden Unit and Caitlin's All-About-Plants-Math-Literacy-

Here are a few samples from my Garden Unit :



This thematic unit contains 8 literacy centers, printables and word wall cards! This unit is great for differentiated instruction as activities vary in difficulty. 


*Garden ABC Order
*Garden Vocabulary
*How to Plant a Garden (Sequencing Activity)
*Garden Memory Match Up
*Beginning Sounds Match Up Literacy Center
*Sizing Up Tomatoes (Sorting Activity)
*Shape Match
*Color Match
*Plant Life Cycle Sequencing Cards
*Plant Parts 3 In a Row (16 Game Boards)
*What's Your Favorite Vegetable? A class pocket chart graphing activity
Printables: Making Words, and Numbers
