Thanks, I'm Famous, and a Giveaway!!

Yay! Check out my new look! A big thanks to Alicia at Dreamlike Magic! I love my cute little owls. :) Now, I just hope everyone reads my title as A (like on a block), B (like on another block), "SEY" (C- like on yet another block) mour (as in my name- Mrs. Seymour)! Does that make sense? A - B- "SEY"mour! My mother-in-law came up with it (she's VERY creative) and I thought it was so cute!


I have had so many meetings lately. Several have been during my planning period...which is no big deal, but I'm usually working on something for my kiddos during that time. Well, this week I told them I wouldn't be able to get such and such done because I had yet another meeting. One of my kiddos finally said something about me having A LOT of meetings lately so I told them it was because I was famous!!! :) I told them that I was just so famous that I had to meet with lots of really important people! I think some of them really believed me for a minute! Awwww....love my kiddos!


So, I've started doing Literature circles with my kiddos. I didn't like what I had used last year so I decided to create my own. I have a few kiddos reading chapter books and the rest are reading picture books so I created a literature circle packet to meet both needs. There are a total of 6 jobs: Questioning Quinn, Retelling Rhonda, and Connecting Charlie just to name a few! They're so cute- at least I think so!


To help get my blog off to a good start, I've decided to give my Chapter Book and Picture Book Literature Circle Packet away to my first 15 followers who leave me a comment!!!! I have my Chapter Book Packet, my Picture Book Packet, and a combination of both for sale at my Teachers Pay Teachers store. I'm still working on a homework journal to go with them...that will be available soon! Below is a picture of my Chapter Book and Picture Book Literature Circle Packet!








I hope to make some new 'bloggie' world friends! :)
