Mother's Day Freebies

I seriously need to get some sleep...after I watch Nurse Jackie (on the DVR)! But, first I wanted to pop in to share some Mother's Day freebies. I am a mom, and had no clue Mother's Day is next week. Where is the time going? If you are a mom, you know the best gifts are the ones your children make (a colored picture, a painted flower pot, a paper flower and/or the classic handprint poems). And, you also know that anything your children make is perfect (even a scribble from a toddler). I included two freebies that are simple, yet meaningful. 



Click on the picture above to get the classic handprint poem and an acrostic "Mommy" poem for your students to complete.
 No matter, how many of these handprint poems/pictures my own kids make, I just cherish them!!! 

 It's a simple freebie, but it's one that moms love. Here's the poem I received last year from one of my children:
What are you doing to celebrate Mother's Day in your class?

Spelling Test Freebie

Happy Monday! I am stopping by quickly to post a spelling test freebie.  I was recreating my current spelling test paper, and I just found out about the Manic Monday Freebie Linky. So, I thought I'd link up. You can get the spelling test here. Just click on the image, and print it. It's that simple! In my school, and first grade classroom, we have been using Words Their Way for a few years, and this type of test paper works well with it. I think it could be used with whatever spelling program you use.
