Honey Bunny Studio Winner and Why I have been MIA....

Sorry for being such a long time to post the winner for the Honey Bunny Studio Giveaway.  For the past 3 weeks, my mom has been having health issues.  

She got out of the hospital and had been doing great for a week.  

Then on Thursday, my dad called me and said,"Your mom is being down right mean.  She won't listen to a word I say."  

He took her out to dinner and right in the middle of dinner she fell into a seizure (she has no history of ever having a seizure).  She had seven seizures in the matter of 2 hours.

It has not been fun.  We finally got her stable today.  This is the first day she has not had a single seizure.  

It is tough to see your mother not know who you are, or who her grandchildren are (she lives for those kids).  

It was so sad in the ER.  She was like a child.  She kept asking when her parents were going to get there (they have been dead for 20 years). 

 I had to break it to her that her parents were no longer living and she broke down like it was the first time she had ever heard the news.  

The only good thing is she doesn't remember the pain of the seizures or anything after each one.  God is granting her peace through this ordeal.

So, now you know why I have been MIA, and took so long to announce the giveaway.

So here is the winner....

Rock Ideas????

I am getting ready to start a PBL on Rocks for ALL of next week, and I need some ideas on Rocks.  I got the fabulous resource form Chalk Talk on Rocks, but I need some more stuff.  I am supposed to teach this all day for 5 days.

If you have anything or any good sites on Rocks, would you be willing to share????  I would love it, and be forever grateful!!!!  I could then put everything together for all of us in a pdf and share giving credit to everyone.

Thanks a bunch!

Nothing like waiting until the last minute for planning!  ;)

Kid Clipart for Teachers

Here is the first batch of clipart for you to use on your materials for TPT or TeacherEBooks.  All I ask is credit by putting clipart by first-grade-teachers.blogspot.com.  That is it.  All of my clipart is going to be free!  I am going to work tonight on some more stuff.  I am completely addicted.  

I am not sure how to download an entire folder on Google Docs, so I have to do it like this:

Boy 1

Boy 2

Boy 3

Girl 1

Girl 2

Enjoy them!
