0 BUGS ON THE BRAIN - MATH PACKET + FREEBIE

Are you feeling Bug-A-Licious? I have been in a very "buggy" mood and managed to pump out this insect-themed math packet in record time.  It's in my TPT store!! The rain really helped me focus as did my "out of office" status for tomorrow. I head down to Stanford to check in on my surgery complication. My nerves have been in knots and these insect activities have been my lifesaver! Anyway . . . enough heavy personal junk ;). From buggy fact family and subtraction story art to bug-a-licious time and place value centers, this baby covers oodles of math standards (K-1). Below you will find a FREE art/math project! Just drag and drop the directions and fact family cards.

0 BUG UNIT + FREE STUFF

Hot dog . . . I'm finally finished.  This one is a doozie folks. This incredible insect unit just went up in my TPT store today.  It has contractions, antonyms, possessive nouns, cause/effect, fact/opinion, entomologist observation diary, venn diagrams, report outlines, a word search . . . the works I tell ya!  I posted up the cute as can be unit cover and there's a FREEBIE up for grabs at the end of this post.

This unit also comes with a FREE song.  For a limited time, Ron Brown's Intelli-Tunes is giving away the oh-so popular "Spider or An Insect" song.  Simply visit www.intelli-tunes.com and click on the FREE STUFF link to snag your copy today.  If you are jumping into an insect unit, be sure to check out Ron's other awesome insect songs on his Buzzers, Creepers, and Crawlers CD.  It's all standards-based and the kids totally dig 'em!

Below you will find my "Bee" Careful Contraction game for free. Yup . . . that's right y'all . . . for FREE!  It is part of my B-B-B... BUGS UNIT.  If you like what you see, be sure to check out the rest of my unit on TPT sometime soon.  I promise you won't be disappointed :)

0 WHAT GOES WELL WITH A GARDEN FREEBIE . . . ?

Bugs . . . bugs . . . and more bugs. I took a slight detour with yesterday's garden unit, but I just couldn't stay away for long.  Below you will find a few tidbits about my new insect packet as well as that plant FREEBIE I promised!

My Incredible Insect Book is a cute little collection of craftivity/writing projects that you can turn into the best little insect book.  I ran with this in my Kinder class last year and they really loved it.  I must give a shout out to the wonderful Evergreen K Crew for giving me this student book idea.  It was a gem of a notion and I ran with it.  Although I spun it off in a new direction, as a tribute to their generosity it still contains one of the cute buggy pages that they shared with me last year!  

This little ant hill just makes me smile!  There are 4 other awesome
craftivities just like this one in my new packet on TPT!

Thanks to Pink Pueblo for the awesome clip art
and Kevin & Amanda's Free Scrapbook Fonts!

As for that garden/plant FREEBIE . . . here you be!  I pulled a more K-1 friendly game today.  This one targets sight words. (The version on TPT is in my Growing Greatness Garden Unit and it contains a version that you can customize to fit your specific word needs . . . so don't feel left out 2nd Grade!) Simply click on the link below to download.  Last one to snag their copy is a . . . Rotten Tomato!

Last, but not least this evening, I just have to share my awesome news.  The doctor lifted my diet restrictions last week and fiber is back in the game.  Take a look-see at what this girl had for the first time in OVER A YEAR.  I have two very delicious words for you.  BEAN. BURRITO. Okay, okay . . . so I had 2 inches of my colon removed 8 weeks ago, but it'll be just fine, right?  Night, y'all!
