****The giveaway is now closed and a winner will be announced soon! =) ****
Bonkers!!!!
Are you there yet??!!???!!!
There are a few moments I have felt that way lately. My kiddos really have been
Yes, we have worked all year on using our big voice and handling problems but like any family, Our School Family is full of a few siblings that are starting to get a wee bit fussy. My kiddos really have been doing a great job....there are just a few who want to check to see if Ms. Price has her Heart of Patience.
Moving on......
Several weeks ago I found the cutest butterfly bowls. I grabbed some and then started creating Bonkers for Butterflies. This turned into a packet that kept growing and growing and growing. I finally gave birth to it at 101 pages.
This packet includes:
* 3 rhyming activities- a rhyming match, an inferring riddle rhymes cover-up and a read the room
*a compound word sort
*nouns, verbs, and adjectives sort
*sorting the 3 sounds of -ed
*short vowel and magic e sort
*real and non-sense word sort
And my kiddos favorite-
a butterfly letter hunt for initial, medial and final phoneme isolation
Click on the picture for a preview! =)
Check it out at my TpT store here.
Since I appreciate all you do, it is on sale!!!! Wahoo!
Here are some pictures of the game and the butterfly bowls
I am giving away 3 butterfly bowls and 3 items from my TpT store to one lucky winner. These bowls can be used with the games to sort cards in, to hold letters, or any wonderful idea that many of you will have.
Here is how you can enter:
1. Leave a comment telling me that you follow me.
2. Leave a comment telling me you shared about the giveaway.
3. Leave a comment telling me what your favorite summer dish is....whether you cook it or just enjoy eating it =)
I will choose 1 winner this weekend.
I think I have reached my word limit for the day. =)
I pray for patience for us all as we count down the days.
Blessings to you!

ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing to eat in the summer is my mothers Summer Salad. It's full of rich, delicious flavors and not at all salad-y. lol Chunks of provolone, salami, lettuce, of course, marinated artichoke hearts, carrots, thinly sliced radishes, all with some amazing dressing tossed on it (and there's like 20 other things in it that I can't think of right now...) But it's so good. A big bowl of that with a loaf of Italian bread and I'm in summer heaven! :)
ReplyDeletetreblesand@optonline.net
My favorite dish is all the yummy veggies and fruits that are available during summer. I also love all the desserts I get to make because I have enough time!! On another note, I can't wait to read Conscious Discipline this summer!

ReplyDeleteOh and my husband loves to make my pasta salad. It's the easiest thing ever- cook spiral rainbow pasta as normal. Once cooked and drained, either run under cold water or chill in the refridgerator. Add italian dressing, parmesian cheese, and ANY fresh veggie you like! Get creative and make it colorful. So easy to do and goes great with parties. I always get rave reviews even when it's pasta, dressing, and cheese! Enjoy!
