It was back to school for me today! My kiddos greeted me with lots of hugs and I missed you's... And you know what? I missed them, too! :)
I'm happy we started back mid-week, because it gives us a chance to get back into the swing of things. We won't start a new reading story/set of skills until Monday, so we can spend these three days focusing on math and writing, starting our unit on penguins, and decorating for January!
Speaking of decorating {and writing}... Today we wrote about our New Year's resolutions and made a little craft to go along with our writing. Here are some of the completed projects:
*In 2013 I am going to do homework right after school.
*...I am going to learn a lot and eat apples.
*...I am going to make sure I read to pass my test.
*...I am going to help my mom was dishes.
I think they turned out super CUTE and my sweeties loved making them! You might recognize the little people-- they're from my elf unit {we never got around to making the elf boys and girls}. To make these guys, I added a triangle party hat, used a circle punch for the polka dots, and a scallop punch for the top of the hat. And of course, I got my inspiration from all the wonderful New Year's bulletin boards floating around Pinterest!
In other news, I made two more fonts!
Well, I made one of them, and my honey made the other:
Cupcake Honeyed is my hubby's creation... so if you're looking for a font that mimics a small child's handwriting, then this is the one for you! ;) hehe
And Cupcake Whipped is another of mine!
Click {HERE} to grab these fonts {plus 14 more!} from my TpT shop!... as always, please give a link back to me if you do use one of my fonts {whether it be a free or commercial product, etc.}
I'm off to take a nap {smart move at 8:08pm} but I have a headache that I just can't shake! Hopefully a nap, followed by a shower, followed by more sleep will be just what I need ;)

Do you make this with the ipad app? Is there a way to add new fonts to the pad like I do on the mac??
Thank you for sharing!!
Yay! It makes me so happy to know that I already own this file :) We went back to school last year midweek and I loved it! It gave me time to get to know my new students and it gave my kids a chance to get back into the routine. Thanks for the fonts! Super cute!

ooh love the whipped font! It's so nice of you to share these!
So many of you are going back the day after New Years-that was just evil of your district. Although, I do like the idea of being on for 3 then having a nice break.
Your resolutionies are precious! Love the things they come up with!

Thank you for those cute ideas! I am a new blogger and would love to get my name out there in the teacher blogging world. I am a K teacher right outside of Nashville (Franklin). I am having a difficult time tapping in and friending other teacher bloggers :) Any advice/shout outs would be tremendously appreciated!
Thanks so much!
