My Year in Review

Wow, less than an hour left of 2013! The older I get, the faster time goes by. Just another thing my mother was right about. So, as my husband and I sit here waiting for the ball to drop, I'm thinking about all of the good things that happened this year and a few things I'm still hoping for. I've settled on five of each to share...

Good Things:

•  an awesome group of second graders (that I'm hoping to loop with)
•  a new, super comfy couch that more than two people can fit on
•  a successful TpT business
•  learning to make bread
•  a healthy family

Still Hoping For:

•  to finish my on-going, never-ending kitchen project (more about that later)
•  to find just ONE book my 5th grader will read
•  to lose 5 pounds, just 5... and maybe stop eating donuts and other bad things
•  to get back to my vegetable gardening
•  to plant an orange tree that doesn't die within 6 months

Welcome to the Winter Blog Hop

Welcome to Teacher Times Two!  You have arrived at stop 11 on the Winter Blog Hop.

At each stop you will be gathering a winter freebie from our TpT stores.  If you like them, we just ask that you leave feedback.

The hop is set up in a loop, so you can start wherever you would like.  If you get lost along the way, you can check out the links at the bottom of this post.  If you want to start at the beginning, check out Techie Turtle Teacher for the first stop.

My freebie is a great winter-themed Read & Write the Room Activity Pack! It includes illustrated winter word wall vocabulary cards and 3 different student worksheets (short & long vowel sort, count the syllables, and ABC order). Get it while you can! After the hop, it will go back to being a paid item.

Thank you for stopping by my blog and downloading my freebie!  I hope you and your students will enjoy using it in your classroom.  If you would like to know when I post new products and ideas, please follow me on bloglovin and TpT.

Now, skate on over to Making Meaning for your next stop on the blog hop...

Note:  If you are seeing this post after the blog hop is over, my product will no longer be free in my store after 8 pm EST on December 15, 2013.  It will still be available to purchase if you are interested.

Get Ready for the Hop!

 

I know you all LOVE freebies, so be sure to come back between December 13th and 15th for the Winter Blog Hop. You'll be able to collect some fantastic winter-themed products from 15 teacher-bloggers (including me)!
