A Little Bit of This and That, Plus Mini Giveaway Time!

My goodness, this weekend has flown by!  Yesterday I went to a parade in the little town I teach in to see all my kiddos.  There is nothing like having candy thrown at your head and hearing "Ms. Polk" called out 227 times.  It's sweet!

Then today I went to the Panthers-Falcons game.  I'm a Panthers Fan and Mark is a Falcons fan.  So it was fun!

Well, I had fun.  Mark not so much because surprisingly the Panthers pulled it out!

Then tonight my family and I walked through the town of McAdenville. It's this small little community in our county, where every resident decorates, as well as the town!  I've been through it a billion times, but it's tradition!

With my little brother.  Well, he's not really little anymore!

Now on to teachery things, we are finishing up our government unit.  Time has really gotten away from me this year! Our content standards have doubled and I am really struggling to fit it in.  I'm trying my best to fit it in with shared reading.  So I created a lapbook and reading passages to teach exactly what I needed!

My kids have loved creating these foldables.  It really makes graphic organizers so much more fun!  My teammies have actually jumped on the foldable bandwagon too. It makes my little heart happy!

Have a great week!  I have a little less than two weeks before Christmas Break and I have so many things I want to fit in.  So it will be a very busy week for me!
