I've already started Christmas shopping- I actually got all of the the gifts for my daughter's teachers several weeks ago. They are wrapped and ready to go! I wanted to get a jump on it this year because last Christmas seemed to sneak up on me. There is something about living in south Florida, when it's 80+ degrees in December, that makes Christmas sneak up on you. It just doesn't
feel like Christmas. But I'm not complaining! I HATE to be cold. I live in the right place for sure! Today will be perfect:
That's my idea of cooler weather :)
Anyway....I'm going to post about
Ebates again. Yes, this isn't my first Ebates post. I just LOVE Ebates - especially this time of year because I do most of my Christmas shopping online and there is just NO REASON not to use Ebates when shopping online. Here is how much I have in my Ebates account right now:
Can't wait to get that check in February!!!! I'm not done Christmas shopping yet, so I know more will be added to it. Seriously, there is NO cost or disadvantage to signing up for Ebates, they get a percentage from promoting the store you shop at and they give you a cut of that percentage. It's a win-win.

Next, I have a little Thanksgiving Freebie. I made one of these for Halloween, so I thought I'd make one for Thanksgiving too:
Click on the picture to download. This includes an answer key too!
Just use a hand lens (magnifying glass) and search for the tiny sight words hidden in the picture. Students will write the hidden word next to it's number. And, if I'm sure I won't be getting a walk-through/observation, I'll let the kids color it when they are finished :) Did you know that coloring is a BIG no-no in First Grade???? It is in our district. Just ridiculous. No fun, it's all business. So you gotta try to sneak it in, don't tell.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
