FREE fonts that I'm OBSESSED over!

Y'all know how much I love fonts!?!  And you know how much I love FREE fonts?!?!

My new OBSESSION is Kimberly Geswein Fonts. 

Well, my dreams have come true. She has named a font after our little old blog.  Do you love it? I can't wait to use it!  I love that it's easy to read, yet still bold and CUTE and FREEEEEEE!

Click the above picture to download for FREE {personal use}

 I *SERIOUSLY* love all of her fonts.
 She offers all of her fonts for FREE for personal use.  If you'd like to purchase one of her fonts for commercial use, she asks for a $5.00 donation but is on sale for  $4.00 {totally worth it}. If you'd like to buy a commercial-use license to ALL of her current fonts and ALL future fonts {she has HUNDREDS and is always coming out with more each week}, then you can buy her ultimate font license for commercial use {this was the route I went, and I don't regret it one bit}.

Check out her TpT store because she's having a 3 day sale for 20% off of her commercial use licenses! 

I'm telling you right now... her fonts are SO cute!  She's got something for everyone!  

Here are some of my favorites ....

Presidential FUN!

Alright, y'all. Who ya voting for? JUST KIDDING!  I would never ask that question and I don't necessarily plan to go too in depth about "the" election in my class. I'll probably introduce both candidates to my class with a picture, read a book about each of them, and talk about the election process. Romney does not have any books at my library, but I did find a few kids' websites that tell all about him:

Time for Kids- Meet the Candidates

Scholastic Election 2012

 So, I have had a lot of requests for a Mitt Romney poster to go along with my presidents graphic organizers.  If you ask...you shall receive.  So, you can snag these for free!  If you'd like a President Obama as well... you'll have to snag that in my President's and US Symbols packet.

Download Governor Romney's posters {here}!

You can grab these in my President's Day and US Symbols Unit. Perfect for November or in February for President's Day!

Oh and someone asked in the comments why I just wouldn't use a real picture of the candidates for the posters.  My answer is... I can't because I don't have the right to post pictures that are copyrighted. I personally don't own any pictures of either of the candidates and I cannot just take an image off the internet and post it on my product on my blog. :)  Just an FYI.

Holiday Writing {Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas!}

I have to admit, as an upper elementary teacher {5th grade}, I get really jealous when I see all of the cute holiday related activities for all the lower grade classes. It's hard to fit in all of the regular curriculum into the school year, let alone adding in all the cute and fun ideas I see all over Pinterest. 

One great way to celebrate the holidays in the upper grades is to incorporate it into your writing instruction. Because students LOVE holidays like Halloween and Christmas, they also LOVE writing about them too. It's a good way to get those reluctant writers excited about writing. 

I have created three products that will help you integrate writing and holiday fun! 

Halloween:

Thanksgiving:

{This is the BRAND NEW unit that I just added to TPT last night!}

Christmas:

I will be offering these items at a 10% discount for the next two days.
