Addition/Subtraction December Freebie

Hey everyone!! I feel like I've been MIA for a while. December is a crazy month and like so many of you I've been super busy. Most of my blogging buddies have carved out time for blogging and creating and sharing and for that I'm envious.

Here's a quick freebie for you:

1. Classroom Orders were due this month. I'm an uber nerd and love buying school supplies so I had my order in asap...in excel format. (This makes it easier for me and the secretary too--I hope)

Today I got my first packages!!

Dry erase sleeves from TeacherDirect--perfect when you want an instant wipe surface and can't laminate. ($15.88 for 10) 

HotDot pens (mine were no longer registering correct answers)

2. Book Boxes have also been ordered. My IKEA box ones are in shambles. D5 (mainly the reading part) has been going strong since August...and here are the results.

I also heard IKEA doesn't have these anymore. 

I've ordered these from ReallyGoodStuff

3. In math we're learning about calendar and time. I do a binder page with all this on it EVERY.SINGLE. DAY so hopefully we can breeze through this. I did find that least year the kids were pretty good at it but not so much their seasons.

I made this page and we decorated a tree from each season to talk about season attributes.

I made it at school and quit .ppt before I saved it!!! Aahh. 

4. I love Amazon.com

Today I got the case for my MacBook. Now it's even prettier. I got a gift for a baby shower and 100 Laminating pouches!!! I used FREE Super Saver Shipping and it still came in just a few days. (I ordered Tuesday and all my items came today)

It's a bit more green in this photo than real life---and there's Van photobombing. 

a photo I found on google--more accurate

5. More about that collaborative blog

how cute is that!

This blog is a group of bloggers that will provide freebies, products, tips & tricks, etc. I'm very excited to be a part of this. The first official post was posted today!!! Teresa over at Fun in K/1 posted a great Mother's Day idea (oh my---almost May already!) 

Here' s an image from one of her Mother's Day ideas. (freebie!)

I'll be sharing my first post on there in May! I'm very excited. Very likely I'll share a freebie (hint hint) but I'd also like to provide some kind of tip/trick that could be helpful. Anything you're dying to know more about? (hopefully I know something about it, too--haha)
