Made it Monday! (Okay, its Tuesday, but there are Freebies!!)

Yikes! I don't know about you, but summer is flying by for me! Its only been four weeks long, but so far I've been so busy that I haven't had a chance to do much blogging! I have been crafting, though, so I thought I'd share a little freebie in case you'd like to do some crafting yourself! I'm linking up with 4th Grade Frolics Monday Made It Linky Party, so after you continue reading, check out the other links here...:)

I've been seeing these adorable birthday balloons popping up everywhere, and I just had to make some! For under $4.00, I am super excited to say that I now have 24 birthday treats ready for my firsties this year! I cannot wait to make them a part of our birthday ritual! Here is a picture of them hanging out in the sunshine...

And here is a link to the balloons if you'd like to download them for free! All you do is print, tape onto some Krazy Straws, and prepare to celebrate!

Other than crafting and playing with my silly girl, I've been busy working on a new unit for Back to School, and I'm soooo excited to finally reveal it to you, plus share a freebie!  I absolutely LOVE using Kevin Henkes' books at the beginning of the year because they are perfect for helping students get to know one another and learn about the basics of school life.  Plus, the characters are just too cute! So, here is my newest unit, Back to School with Kevin Henkes & Friends: A Literacy and Friendship Unit Featuring Lilly, Chrysanthemum, and Wemberly!  If you'd like a FREE Movie Star Sunglasses Reading and Writing the Room activity from the unit, just click the pictures below to go to my TPT store and click on the "Download Preview" button! I hope you like it!  I cannot wait to use it with my kiddos this fall!
