Father's Day Pics, Freebie, and a Giveaway!

I know Father's Day doesn't happen during the school year for most so we celebrated a little early this year.

We made these adorable Father's Day cards from Crayonbox Learning.  You can click on the picture to go download this adorable FREEBIE!  

I  know that many kiddos don't live with, have, or know their dads so we made it "Celebrate the Great Men in our Lives Day" so we could include grandpas, uncles, and brothers too.  

If you're already out of school you can pin this or save it for next year.  My kiddos had so much fun with it!  Here are some pics: 

These fish are in school colors!

This kiddo wanted to make sure Dad looked on the back of the fish and included a little note that said 'look underneath me".  

On the back it said "I love you Dad"...adorable!  :)

This little boy's card made me laugh so hard!  He explained to his dad that it wasn't Father's Day yet, but his teacher was making him write this card!  I will so miss him next year!  :)

This turned out to be a great way to keep this kiddo focused on cutting and not chatting.  He thought it was hilarious that I passed out his fish on his head.  He even managed to walk to the trash can with it there!  

This is my Night Before Father's Day pack that I have for sale in my TpT store!  If you would like to use this pack this year or next year, leave a comment with your email below and I will send it to the first 3 people who do!  

I have included other templates for the Father's Day book to include grandpa's, step-dad's, and uncles too!  

Enjoy!  And, Happy Early Father's Day!  :)

Happy Father's Day

I haven't blogged in a week....oh my goodness! 


I am really enjoying sleeping in and READING during my lazy days of summer though!  I've already 4 books....not counting the books I have to read for school.  It is so much fun to just sit down and read any book I choose.  Love it!  


I just got back a little while ago from tutoring one of my students.  His mom asked me a few months ago if I would be willing to tutor him over the summer and I said....YEP!  This little boy is so sweet and so much fun I just couldn't say no.  


I think it was strange for him to see his teacher outside of school though.  We met at a local library and he worked hard the whole time....even with lots of other kiddos running around the children's section.  I didn't expect that, but I was so proud of him for trying so hard.  


On Thursday, I'm going to give him my new Night Before Father's Day Pack!  I thought it would be a sweet thing to do for his dad before Sunday. 


I finished this unit over the weekend, but I was out of town for a wedding so I kindly put aside my blogging until I came back home.  I love blogging, but I was visiting with my best friend growing up who now lives 4 states away so I HAD to spend LOTS of time with her while I could.  I know you understand.  :)


This pack is based on the book The Night Before Father's Day by Natasha Wing.  Click on the picture and it will take you to Amazon to buy it!  :)

My kiddos loved the book so I decided to create some activities to go with it.  You don't have to have the book to use all of the activities, but it would be a great introduction.  Here is a look at my newest unit (It's only $2 at my TpT store):

There is a book to create and a very simple tie craftivity to make.  There are also several writing prompts and since many kiddos are not able to spend Father's Day with their dad for various reasons I created writing prompts for grandpa, uncle, step-dad and I included a blank one so they can choose someone else if they want.  


I will give this new pack away for FREE to the first two people who want it!  All you have to do is leave a comment with your email address and I'll send it to you!  I know many of you are already out of school, but it would be a great activity to do at the end of next year.  


Hopefully, I'll be back before another week passes.  But who knows?!?!  I do have another wedding to go to this weekend!  :)
