My First Linky Party

     There are so many new things to learn about this whole blogging thing, and I've just discovered a really great one - Linky Parties!  Who knew?  Lauren at Just Add Clipart is hosting a Freebie Linky Party and there are some really fantastic freebies already!  My contribution is a math center that I created to practice telling time to the hour.  Students match the clocks on the baseballs to the player that shows the correct time.  Click below the picture to grab my freebie, then click on Lauren's button to join the party!  If you enjoy my game, follow me for more freebies to come!

No Summer Vacation for a Teacher's Mind...

     I was shopping with my sister yesterday when I stumbled upon the cutest thing - Jet-Puffed StarMallows.  I’ve never seen them before but my sister started telling me about a great dessert she's made with them. 

     Well, my sister had to elbow me because I wasn't listening.    I was busy thinking, "We could use these to graph, to sort, to make patterns ..."  (Because even during summer vacation, isn’t that still how we think?)  I was actually sorry for a minute (just for a minute) that school is out and I can't use them for a new math center tomorrow.  Of course, I still rushed home and made a couple of math activities to have ready for next year.  Click below the picture if you’d like to download a copy.  Enjoy!
