In Hurricane Sandy's Wake...

Well, yesterday was an interesting day.  Hurricane Sandy certainly made herself known in RI.  While we didn't get hit as bad as other areas, she left quite a trail of destruction in her wake:

I took this picture of Narragansett Beach last year:

And this is what it looked like yesterday:

I was extremely lucky to not have any damage or even lose power.  My thoughts go out to those who were affected by this powerful storm.

School was cancelled yesterday and today.  Since I didn't lose power, I got hard to work on some of my TpT products that I had started over the past few weeks.  Normally I am only working on one project at a time, but I've had so many ideas lately (and not a lot of time), that I keep starting new ones and not finishing them!

I don't normally use worksheets in my classroom, but I have some students who are really struggling with their vowel sounds.  I am going to be sending these home for homework with certain kiddos.

There are over 30 practice sheets!

Busy, Busy, Busy

It has not been a relaxing weekend, but it's been a fun one!

Last night, we went to a a Masquerade-themed wedding (he was in the wedding party).  We had fun with it!

We had a great time with the Photo Booth!

This morning we went to a fundraiser to raise money for my high school track.  When I was in high school, we weren't allowed to use the track because it was in such bad shape.  After 10 years of hard work, my alma mater now has a beautiful track!  My mom is on the committee so she always forces asks me to volunteer.

I got a little sentimental watching my husband play soccer on my old field:

Then we cheered on the runners who were participating in the 5K:

And, now, as I'm watching the Patriots play, I whipped up a quick freebie that I'm going to use with some of my students this week:

I'm working on a bigger set but it's not quite done yet.  Look for it soon!
