Halloween Hundreds Chart Mystery Pictures

I'm not a fan of Halloween. The ghosts, witches, scariness...I just don't like it! We still let our kids dress up in costumes, but we go to our church's Fall Festival for games and treats instead of trick-or-treating. Anyway....I wanted to do some more hundreds chart pictures that were themed for the upcoming holidays, so I came up with some for the month of October that could go with a Halloween theme, but aren't scary.  The pictures are a pumpkin, bat, candy corn, owl, and spider.

 

These are great for grades K-2 to practice number recognition and place value! Click here to get them!

Less Blogging More Insta!



 



I've been noticing a trend with not only myself, but also a lot of my other blogging buddies (teachers and others!) Now it seems that blogging just takes a little too much effort and time, and people are more likely to use Instagram and Twitter for updates! I haven't yet jumped on the Twitter bandwagon, but I do love my Instagram! So, I decided to start a teaching account.

With it I hope to post pictures of what we're doing in homeschool, new products I'm making, and anything else teacher-ish that strikes my fancy! We'll see how it goes. With all the craziness of life, and now having 4 little kids at home, it will be a quick and easy way to share! I will still be blogging, but now maybe I won't feel guilty when I let 2 weeks pass without writing anything! :-)

Anyway, my new Instagram name is mrsthompsonstreasures.

I'd love you to follow me and I would love to follow you! Leave a comment with your Instagram username!

Baby & Pumpkins

First things first....I've been away for a week because I had my baby girl!! We named her Cayla, and she is wonderful. You can see pictures here on my family blog.

Second, as I was sweating myself into a puddle during my son's soccer game today at noon in the 100* heat, I was thinking about how ready I am for fall...and pumpkins! I just love pumpkins! So to hopefully usher in some fall-ish weather soon, I'm going to share this Pumpkin Mystery Picture Graph for free the rest of the weekend! These are so fun for the kids (best for grades 3 and up) and great practice using graphs, coordinates, and following directions! Have fun....and if you are having some cooler weather, send a little my way!
