Getting Back into the Groove

Oh my.  It's been awhile friends!  I took a break the last few weeks from all things work.  I spent all my time and effort with my family and had a wonderful time.  We had a 1/2 day work day today to get ready for our little ones tomorrow.  (Of course, I've never stayed only half a day in my entire 13 years of teaching!) 

What's up with this crazy Arctic weather?  This is what my car said this morning when I got to work:

10 degrees!  Now, I know that many of you are many digits below 0 but 10 is dang cold for Oklahoma!  We are not used to these temperatures and I can't stand it.  I do not like cold weather!  

In keeping with the Winter Weather theme, we are starting on our winter centers this week.  Here are a couple we will be working on.

~Word Families~

The students match the buttons to the correct word family hat.

~Compound Words~

The students match the correct word mittens to the snowball pictures.

Both of these centers are a part of my Winter Literacy Centers Pack.  

There are a few more center activities in this pack that we will work on next week.  Hopefully I'll be back with more pics of them. :)

Have a great week back at it!
