Football Time!

Argh, I missed the Five For Friday. 

How can you people keep up with it!? 

You all are amazing. 

That's all I can say. 

I didn't get to share on my Five for Friday {since I didn't do it} but looky looky we have big bricks and a foundation! Yay!!!

Now my kids are going to think I live in a dirt/lego house. When I drove up I laughed because I can already hear their comments when I show them the picture. I wonder who is going to be more impatient through this process....them or me? 

I love it when my husband (who is 6'5) and I take selfies because he looks like stretch armstrong and my head is usually cut off.

 Focus on the dirt and bricks. 

Thanks. 

I am a total Football fanatic. I love everything about football. I love curling up on the couch with a bowl of chili in my leggings and watching football at home, I will march my butt out to the stadium and sit in the scorching sun or the freezing cold, and I will wave my foam finger (un-Miley Cyrus like) in the air like there is no tomorrow. I am that girl. I can't help it. 

So when I started creating resources last year, I came up with a "Superbowl" unit because it was the end of the football season and I had to do something that related to football. Until I began this adventure with creating my own resources, I was very unaware of the endless possibilities of great teacher created resources and creating myself. The addiction began and I haven't hopped off the train ;0)

I decided to give my little football resource a face lift. You know that feeling of creating a product and you think it's so fab just to go back 2 months later and 1. Realize you can't name a product "Superbowl". Hello (smack palm on forehead)...that's why all the commercials call it "The Big Game" and 2. The fonts are too cute that it's probably unreadable for a 5 or 6 year old. 

So, I fixed it. 

It's a little more K-1 Reader Appropriate. 

And in honor of football season, it's on sale while all of the big games are happening. 

There are even some cheerleaders in there too :)

Yesterday, I had all the kids wear their favorite team jersey to school and we sorted by type of sport and graphed it. Sometimes, I have kids that wear all types of sports but I mainly had football jerseys so we had to sort and graph by high school football, college foot ball and pro foot ball. I also had one hokey player and three cheerleaders. After we graphed by sport, we came up with other sorting rules. They sorted themselves by color of shirt/jersey, if they had numbers or no numbers, by football/non-football...etc. It was fun because the kiddos came up with the rules and it got them up and moving.

Since we have been doing so much labeling lately, I can't wait to use the football player and cheerleader this week! 

I'll be back tomorrow with my lesson plans for Peek at My Week!
