Are You Ready for Halloween?

When you think of October, you of course think of Halloween! I’m seeing a lot of cute Halloween activities pop up on other blogs and Pinterest. I’m busy creating my Halloween items, as I never had any in my TPT store. I posted my Web of Numbers yesterday, and today I have Halloween Bingo.

bingo1

I hate that I’m away and won’t be able to play this with my firsties, but I think it is still a fun game. Some of the words are a little tough for firsties and under, so you would have to go over the words beforehand. Upper elementary will enjoy this as well!

bingo3

Halloween Bingo is on sale at my TPT store for $1.75 here, but I will give it away for free to the first 5 commenters of this post! Make sure to leave your email.

I think I’ll make my Pin-Up Thursdays for this month focus on Halloween items so we can share all of the cool things we find. Here’s a few things I’ve found already.

Happy October

Wow, it’s been a while hasn’t it? I apologize for the lack of updates. I have been so busy with work and preparing for a BABY! I hope to post more often, but if I am away for a long time, please bear with me. I’m still around, I’ll just be even more restricted with time. You moms know what I’m talking about!

Since I’ve been gone for so long, here’s a nice October freebie for you. My newest product is A Web of Numbers which is a collection of counting cards that are Halloween-themed.

web1        web3

It is geared more to Pre-K and K probably, but first grade teachers may have students who are still struggling with their numbers. It is totally FREE so click here to check it out at my TPT store.

Hopefully I will be doing more updates! Have a great Monday!

Off-Topic Tuesday

Today has been one of those days! Labor Day has me completely thrown off and my brain refuses to work. So I figured I’d venture off of the educational path and talk off topic today.

Logging into my computer this afternoon after work, I see that the top topic trending on Yahoo search has to do with iPhone 5.

Oh, how I love thee!

Ohhh yeah baby! The above picture is from Apple’s website—a bit of foreshadowing of what’s to come, eh? Apparently, iPhone 5 is supposed to launch September 12th and guess who’s up for an upgrade?

(yes, me!)

So I am super excited to see what the new iPhone has to offer. My first iPhone was a 3g and then I got a 4 and…you can kind of see what kind of trends I make, right? I personally think the iPhone is the best thing since sliced bread. Yes, it’s just a phone and it’s just a material item but it’s so cool.

There are supposed to be some awesome features: bigger screen, smaller connector, quicker speed, and a better Siri feature.

I found this image from CNET that shows what the iPhone 5 “may” look like as compared to the other generation of iPhones.

We shall see…Anybody else excited besides me? Leave your thoughts and enjoy your Tuesday evening!
