TGIF Linky Party!!

Hi everyone!!!
I'm joining my new friend Nancy Alvarez from Teaching With Nancy on her Link-Up Party!!!

I created this activity last year that I did with my students on the first week we were back from Christmas break. We did a place value review up to Hundred Thousands place; However, I created this product so younger grades can also use it. For more information on how to use this activity, download my product on my TPT store.

Deep in the Heart of Texas Blog Hop

Welcome to the "Deep in the Heart of Texas" blog hop!  Over 40 Texas teacher bloggers have joined together to share what we love about our state as well as ideas and freebies that we love.  You will also have the opportunity to enter to win TpT products and/or TpT gift certificates by entering using the rafflecopters included in each post.  Down at the bottom, you will see all of the blogs participating in the hop.  Just click and you will be taken to their posts.  We hope you love what you find.  Happy Valentine's Day!

As you know I am Mrs. Nicolau. I am originally from Peru, but I have been living in the United States for 13 years now (Wow!!! Time DOES fly!!). I have been living in Killeen/Ft. Hood for almost 8 years now and I just loveeeee Texas!!! I have previously lived in another state and let me tell you, I don't want to leave this great state, I just love living here!!!

I have taught 2nd and 3rd in a Bilingual school, so you'll see all my products in both English and Spanish. As of right now, I am very lucky to be able to stay home this year with  my now 9-month old baby. so I am working more on unfinished projects and saved ideas that I had when I was teaching.

Where I live is basically a military town. My husband was stationed here and when we met we decided to settle here since it's a small city and it keeps on growing!!! It is in Central Texas so the bigger cities are really closed by, we love driving to other places and getting to know the state. However, my small town has the biggest military base in the United States, so when we have friends and family coming over we sure take them to see the base and show them around!

I really like most of my lessons and activities I have; However, I have to admit that I just love my Mustache unit. that has been created for 2nd and 3rd grades. There is something about mustaches that my students loved!!! They think it's so funny and they enjoy the "store" area.. they think it's hilarious!! As I mentioned above, I am a Bilingual teacher so my products come in both English and Spanish. Click on the front cover of my product to see and find more about it! :)

.

Along with my mustache unit above, I created a freebie to go along with it; they loved and giggled so much when taking a picture with the mustache on! Click on the following link Writing Freebie

I feel the love!!! Centers for Valentines and a Freebie!!

Hello everyone!!!
So I know we are in the middle of January and you should be still thinking about snowmen and penguins in your class! HOWEVER, Valentine's is coming and you can feel the loveeeee that comes with chocolate!! lol (you it's true!!!)
This year I will not be coming home with bags of chocolates (thanks to my students who eagerly come with big hearts full of sweets inside) and I am sure my husband will not be happy about that (he would eat most of the chocolates, stating that I take too long in eating them, lol). On the other hand, I think my body and cavities would appreciate it ;)

Anyhow, I wanted to share with ya'll very quick the good products I have for the upcoming days... I will presenting in a quick snapshot what I have in my store.

These are Math Centers for 3rd grade: it includes multiplication, measurement, word problems, comparing fractions, and a foldable to create bar graphs and pictographs. Come over my Store to have more details!!

These are Language Art centers for 2nd grade: it includes sequence for the story "Froggy's First Kiss", antonyms, and long a vs short a (English only), and suffixes vs prefixes (Spanish only). Come over my Store to have more details!!

Last, but not least, I wanted to share my new freebie. I think Mr. Heart came out really cute! Your students could write a letter to another friend in the classroom, or write about what they like about Valentine's or write about a favorite part of a valentine's story! Your choice, the options are endless!!!

A HUGE apology and a Freebie as an exchange of your forgiveness!!

Yes!! I am alive!!!!
I am so so so sorry for not posting anything in so many months!!! I know you have read this introduction before, but this time things in my life have been gotten very complicated... I really can't tell you all the reason of my absence since it's VERY personal. I can only say that I have had a family emergency that has been keeping me at home and away from the teaching world. With that said, you will probably not be able to see things that I do in my classroom anymore because I am taking the year off as you are reading this post. HOWEVER, I want to take this opportunity to catch up with all those ideas and unfinished projects that I had started before. My hands and body are SUPER busy throughout the day due to my now 8-month old baby, but I am taking sometime during night time to catch up on these projects. I really hope that you stick around with me, even when you know that I am teaching this year. I think and hope you will find my ideas suitable for your class projects and daily activities.

Anyways, as I feel guilty for my absence I have created a Freebie for y'all... I saw the great Doodle Bugs Teaching post on how to make ornaments, and it inspired me to create the outline for a snowman....

I used a hole punch that has a size of an inch that I purchased from a craft store.

What is the best way to fill a snowman's stomach??,
with glitter of course!!! :)

I hole punched white card stock and add some glitter

I purchased some snowflake sequins from a craft store

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO DOWNLOAD MY PRODUCT, CLICK ON THE FOLLOWING PICTURE.

                                                

I think this snowman could go great with the story Snowmen at Night. This book has a very cute and magical story about what snowmen do when the lights go off...


However the options are endless, it is up to you what you would like to use it :) This was just a suggestion :)











I want you to know that I am working on different grade level projects. Since I have taught second grade, third grade (Math & Science) and Pre-K; I am planning on add more products based on those grade levels so it can help you y'all for this second semester! I should have three different unit by the end of January and a weekly freebie (if everything goes smooth as I am planning)...
If you have any request, any suggestion, or just want to say HI! please leave me a comment :)

New family, new school, new grade, and new beginning... I am BACK! Back to school theme! :)

Hello everyone!
I know I promised myself to blog more and especially throughout the summer, but I really really have a good excuse (dejavu?)... "Pollita"!!! I am soooo in love with my daughter!! I know all moms out there say the same thing, but I really am in love! She has taken all my time and dedication that I have not been able to blog since my last post... so I am sorry for all of you who have been so kind to me and read my posts... but if any of you have children or love someone so much, you might understand this indescribable feeling...

With all that mushy talk, I wanted to share with y'all that I moved to a different district this year. I was given 2nd grade bilingual (yay!!), but things changed and now I'll be teaching PreK (wow!!)... I am very excited to this new challenge and see how things go! I am definitely planning on finishing some units that I did not get to finish over the summer or last year, so if you stick around you'll be able to see not only Prek stuff but also some other resources! :)

I want to take this opportunity to present to you my last year classroom theme and this new one coming up... I did a Jungle theme last year, if you would like to see my classroom post from the year 2012-2013 click HERE.

If you would like to see my product on my TPT, click on the picture.

On "Meet the Teacher Night" I passed these goodies to my students, click HERE to see my post :)

If you would like to download the FREE product on my TPT, click on the picture. The tags come for all grades (Kinder to 5th Grade).

This year I'll be having a circus theme! I wanted to do owls, but when Prek was assigned to me, I couldn't resist it and decided to change it :)
I do not have pictures of my classroom yet, since they are not letting us work on it until next week (yes, I'm also freaking out about it). But I wanted to show you a sneak peek of what my classroom theme packet contains.

I am thinking on giving cotton candy on meet the teacher night, What do you all think???? THESE COME IN BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH :)
Stay tuned! I'll be blogging with pictures of these goodies on my next post (coming Soon)!!!

For this next part, you might want to stick around! Since I have been so bad in posting things, I decided to create all the following posters FOR FREE!! I'll be posting soon how I am using these in my classroom (since my classroom it's not ready yet, I can't really post and show you anything at this point). As I was saying, I had created new posters for my classroom. Since I'll be teaching PreK, everything, I mean EVERYTHING is in Spanish. So I created some posters in both English and Spanish for FREE.

Click on the picture to take you to the product on my TPT store.

The following are posters that I'll be using on my calendar. The weather freebie has  a chart with days of the week and icons to determine the weather. It also contains kids wearing different clothes that I'm planning on using to review with kids what kind of clothes they should wear according to the weather :)

The birthday cupcakes will be placed on my calendar board and I'l be using the candles to write the student's name. The candles will be placed on the corresponding cupcake.

Since I'll be teaching PreK, I figured the month signs I had should be more visual than just words, so I created these for free :)

That's it for me friends! I am so sorry again for disappearing, but I am back and looking forward to a new school year!

I'd love to leave you with a picture of my bundle of joy, and maybe you could forgive me even more for being absent ;)
