March Madness…This one is for the boys!

TGIF! Is anyone else convinced there was a full moon this week? I need something to blame for some of the bizarre things that I encountered this week. Today is a beautiful sunny day in Buffalo. If I didn’t know any better I would think the expression started with “March comes in like a lamb….” It’s hard not to be in a great mood when the sun is shining and people are moving around outside. What a great way to kickoff the weekend.

I posted some new items in my store this week and there are more to come. I created some basketball themed activities for first and second graders. During the month of March all I hear about is brackets and college basketball, I figured I might as well put my spin on it and give the boys some literacy playing time (get it?) I’ve been reading so much lately about how female-centered classrooms and classroom libraries can become. So this one is for the boys! There is a contractions game, an inferencing game, math exemplars and sentence fixers. I also posted a freebie with some basketball themed writing papers and a write the room activity. These activities are not specifically centered around March Madness- they are just basketball themed, so you can use them all year ’round with your little all-stars!

Last but not least…

THANK YOU to everyone who purchased something from my store this week and to all of my new followers. The TPT Leap Day sale was such a big success. I am so grateful and excited to see my ideas helping others!

Also a big thank you to Casey at Second Grade Math Maniac for awarding me with the Top Ten Blog Award this week. I was thrilled! You should all visit her blog- today she has a Read Across America freebie and she is also doing a great giveaway.

Have a great weekend!
