Monster Snack Attack

I am stopping myself right now to post this before it gets out of hand. I am already thinking of Monster Snack Attack 2. Monsters snacking on letters and numbers have my brain pop, pop, POPPING! =)

Do you think I need an intervention when my dreams are about making things with clip art??!!???? I seriously had a dream about a mini-lesson with one of these activities. I am even thinking of a shirt idea to tell my friend Carla at Sewing Sassy...I am thankful that she knows about me and my brain pops. She almost always has a similar one too!

I am in LOVE with this clip art and have about a gazillion ideas of how to use it! =)

Does this clip art make you happy too?




Maybe these cute monsters will help my cute monsters kiddos learn how to rhyme. =)


sorting real and non-sense words



sorting letters and numbers

50 chips- a great counting game


ordering numbers from least to greatest

adding and handwriting practice =)

Did you say to yourself at least once Those are so stinkin' cute?

Well, guess what???

If you did, you get all of these games as ***FREEBIES*** here!!!!

And if you didn't say they were cute....oh, well- you can grab them too!

I started looking again at everything in Chapter 1 of the CD book and felt VERY overwhelmed. There is so much information in there that my hair starts to hurt and my eyes start spinning in different directions!

I am going to think about the best way to give you that information without overwhelming you too! Please, please, please share with me your doubts and hesitations about Conscious Discipline...I probably had them too! =)

I would love for you to take a moment and leave me a heart note if you grab these *freebies*. I really cannot even find the words to let you know how much each one means to me.

From My Heart to Yours,

  60. Hi Heather I can totally relate to you! I fall asleep at night with clip art and ideas on my brain, it's gotten so out of hand that I keep a notepad and pen beside my bed now to write down ideas as soon as they pop into my head.

  66. I just read the first two chapters of CD and hope I am personally balanced enough to pull this off. It is kind of like church, I want to become a Christian but I am so deeply flawed that I feel I may never get there! One step at a time and the Grace of God, maybe I'll get there.

  67. A Million thanks! So Cute!

  68. Oh those are the cutest monsters ever!! Where did you find them?! I debated doing monsters in my room and I am still debating.

    CD chapter 1... I read the first part. That is as far as I got. I was hoping to post on it this week... not gonna happen. In fact not much of anything is gonna be posted for the next two weeks. I have to study and am so overwhelmed with this test. BOOO!!! =( In july I will be back.

  69. Heather,
    Thank you for sharing your great ideas. I have read chapter 1 of CD and I totally understand that the way I present myself is a factor in how the students act and behave. I'm also reading 1-2-3 Magic: Effective Discipline for Children 2-12 and I'm not sure what would be the best to use next year. So I'm still going back to read your earlier posts on CD. I still have time I guess to figure that out.
