Hi Guys! I promise every time when I begin blogging that I am going to blog more often. I really do try but with two little boys and a very busy life , it gets so hard. Enough with my excuses. I think since the last time that I have blogged we have added goats, turkeys, and chickens to our little farm. Even though it is a lot of work it is a lot of fun. It made ma also think about Charlotte's Web. A while ago I posted a preview of a chapter by chapter study that I was beginning , but I had never finished it. Well good news! I finally finished it. This is a 46 page unit. For every chapter it has a words to know section, Question and answer section, and two different Parts of the chapter choices. It is made so that you can copy it into a little book.

It is located here:
Teachers Pay Teachers Read A Long Unit

If you buy please let me know what you think! Have a great evening!

In case you didn't know, if you dressed like a pirate and went to Krispy Kreme today they would give you a dozen doughnuts and my children love them. This evening we had pizza and snuggled to watch a movie. Love those kinds of nights. Tomorrow will be fun because my husband will be home with us.

 So on to chapter 3...(pgs. 13-24)

Back to Life...

I apologize that you have not found me on here in the last few months. Life has been crazy. In the last few months we have placed out house up for sale, moved to a new house, and sold our old house. I never want to move AGAIN!!!. The great thing is that God has blessed us with a beautiful new home with a little bit of land. This way my kids can run and play all they want. PTL!
On another note fall time is coming.. So excited. A friend of mine is starting to read "Charlotte's Web" in her class. She is third grade. I am planning on helping her make some items for her class, but wanted to hear from you.. What are some activities you like to do with this book..

Hope to hear from you soon, 

New Year..

Hello,
  Man it has been a long time since I have got to sit down and write my friends on my blog. When October hits it becomes crazy at our house till after Christmas. Speaking of Christmas. I hope that everyone has had a wonderful Christmas. We had a blast at our house. My parents were here. We got to go to a Christmas Eve service at our church. When we got home the kids opened their first present. We made them wait till Christmas morning. They were spoiled rotten but it was so much fun watching them opening their gifts.

   The new project that I just finished was inspired by my son. He has started a three year old pre-school. Each day they have been doing a letter of the day. He has been bringing home color sheets with different animals. I began to think, wouldn't it be cute if I made a alphabet book for him. So that is what I did. I made a blackline alphabet book for the students and a color one for the teacher.
 

I hope you have time to check it out at my store. 

I hope that everyone has a great new year. Feel free to share some ideas that you want to try in your classroom for the new year. 

Until Next Time!!!

October is in the Air..

Wow! It is hard to believe October is already here. I love the cooler weather, the colored leaves, and the scarecrows. This time of year is actually one of my most favorite times of year to teach. I loved doing all of the holiday activities. However, with the hustle and bustle of common core and state standards you have to make sure if you are teaching the standards in with your fun stuff. I wanted to share with you some items that I have available to help put some fun in your lesson plans while still teaching the standards.
  Probably my most favorite kit that I have made is my complete October Pumpkin Unit.
In this kit you will have experiments, poems, graphing kits,and life cycles..plus more.

I also want to show you a planning calendar that I have as a free download. I hope that you will have a great fall time!

A Whole New World...

I cannot believe it. I have my very own blog. I have wanted to start one for sometime now, but I have struggled with how to start. I am so excited and I hope that I can learn many new things. I would love to have you all subscribe to my blog. Please help me gain some followers. I celebrations of my new blog, I am running a sale on my Teachers Pay Teacher Site and my Teachers Notebook Site this week. Please check me out. I am also giving a link to a apple parts project that I am offering for free. It is part of my Johnny Appleseed Mini-Unit I have listed. Thank you all so much for following me.

Well, This is my first blog entry. I have been wanting to do this for a long time, but I am trying to get up the courage to do it. I guess I should start with telling you about myself. I am Jeniffer Fielding. I am a 32 year old wife, mother, and teacher on hold. I have two wonderful sons and they are just the light of my life. I have an amazing husband who works hard to take care of his family. God has truly blessed our life. We just recently celebrated our fourth wedding anniversary. I had been teaching since 2004. I have taught first grade and love it so. With the birth of our second son God made a way for me to stay at home and be a mommy. It was very tough leaving something I loved so dearly, but God has made it clear that being a mommy is the wonderful job that I am honored to do now. However, to keep me in the game, I have been creating materials for teachers who I am friends with and I have been putting them on teachers pay teachers. It has been fun to make the teacher materials and getting to play school even though I am at home. I am thankful that you are taking the time to read this and I hope that you will follow me on this journey. By the way, Fell free to give me some advice on how to make my blog more neat! I am a newbie at this!

Till later,
