Friday Freebie and Other Things

Just a reminder that tomorrow is the Blog Hop and Swap and I'm having a guest blogger! I'll also be guest blogging on two blogs tomorrow, one for the BHS, and one for Ms. Chrissy B at Buzzing with Ms. B.

I've also received some awards from several people. Thanks Patti from Tales of a 4th and 5th Grade Teacher, Jenna from Just Diving In,  Tonya from Tonya's Treats for Teachers, and Sara from Ms. V's Busy Bees. I received the Lovely Blog Award and also the Versatile Blogger award a few times. I love how the old awards are coming around again with new bloggers :)


Alright, time for freebies! Over at Endless Pinabilities, we're celebrating our patriotism for the 4th and Canada Day. Today was my day to share my pins and I created some subway art.

Both come with a few options and borders and just plain.

Finally Friday and a Freebie

Yay it's Friday!!! Music today was pretty good, but had a tough class. I also helped some teachers after school who used the music room to learn some Mexican dances and had no idea how to use the equipment. I do admit, looking at the music teacher's equipment can be terrifying. But I've subbed for her many times and it doesn't scare me anymore lol. She's got a sound system box, and a then a cassette/recording system on top of that, then a dvd/vcr on top of that, and finally a cd player on top of that. So it's a huge tower of 4 big systems. All connected to each other and the overhead projector.

Then I went to the store and saw a teacher from the same school and a student from another who screamed out "Ms. T!!!!" and then turned to her mom and said, "I know that lady. I know her. She's a teacher!" Oh the joys of living in a small town lol.

I was very pink yesterday but forgot to post the pic. I have a thing about earrings. As in, I adore them lol. I'm wearing chandelier ones. Pink scarf, had a pink shirt, pink Iphone case and pink crackle nails. You paint whatever color for the bottom layer and then buy a crackle paint, in this case it's pink, and paint on top and it crackles! Kind of like whitewashing wood. So cool! The kids all knew what it was and so I was considered a styling teacher yesterday!

Jealous of my parents who took the train up to Seattle for the weekend! They go with some of our camping buddies this time of year every year. But they are hoteling it, not camping lol. Two of our friends celebrate their birthdays this weekend too.

So for the freebie, not as thrilling as the one I gave yesterday( 146 downloads already!). This freebie is Spring Subway Art and already has had a few downloads, yay! So if you'd like it, click me!

This is one example...I gave a few variations :)

Okey dokey, I think that's it. I'm thinking about all the things I want to cook this weekend! Faux fried onion rings by Hungry Girl (they're yummy! And they're actually called Lord of the Onion Rings). Taco soup may be appearing or some sort of crustless spinach and feta pie. We'll see!  I have some new units brewing in my brain that I can't wait to get started on, so be on the look out in the next few weeks for those.  Happy Friday!

Friday MLK Freebie

It's Friday, Friday, gotta get down Friday *shivers* Sorry for the Rebecca Black song going on there but I'm so happy it's Friday! Even though I didn't show it through my reading spots blog post yesterday, I had a MASSIVE headache and actually went back to bed for 2 hours. Thank goodness no one had scheduled me to work yesterday and I could block myself. It was bad, woke up at 2 am and couldn't go back to sleep.

Anyway, I have my first subway art done! Yay! It'll get better with time, but for the first time around, it's pretty good. It's cute! And if I had a classroom, this would definitely be in it!

I had so much fun making it and I can't wait to make my next one ( I already know what it's going to be!)  Click the peace symbol to get your freebie :)

Leave me some loving in a comment too! I want to know your honest opinion on my subway art so I can make it better (I know my next one I want to put in graphics). OOOOH I forgot to tell you all something! I changed my comment settings (thanks What the Teacher Wants!) and it's easier now than ever to comment because I got rid of the verification thingy. Yay! Ok, back to your scheduled freebie:

Subway Art

As you all know, I'm a bit obsessed with Pinterest...shocking I know! Lol :) My latest obsession on Pinterest is called Subway Art. I'll show you my latest pins (I had to make a board just for Subway Art!)

How fabulous is this?!?!

I could definitely see this in the classroom!

I also have pinned ones for holidays:

Ok, so now you get the idea of what Subway Art is!  Now, Cricut has a cartridge that I am REALLY wanting called Word Collage:

This has stuff for baby girls and boys, some holidays, and some other stuff.

Looking at this gave me a few ideas. One of them is I could creat my own Subway Art with or without this cartridge, by just typing in words/phrases using any of my other cartiridges and put them all together on a cardstock. For instance, my friend is having a baby boy and on the cartridge is cute, but there is one on Pinterest I've seen that I could recreate:

My other possibly brilliant idea, is that you could do this for any theme you are doing in your classroom. So for an ocean unit, for example, it could say waves, seal, dolphins, whales, starfish, etc. Oh this opens up so many possibilities!!! And I could see making this with wordle...so keep your eyes peeled, because I think that I'll be making them for freebies. Do you think this is a good idea? I also think that I'll be making a teacher one for the prize when I get 100 followers (only 31 away!)
