Fame, Stardom, and a freebie unit!

Hey friends!  What a great and BUSY week! I am currently glued to the TV, taking in all the weather updates on the news. School dismissed early due to severe weather and tornadoes. That's right...crazy winds, tennis ball sized hail, and some funky lightening. I'm currently freaking out! We are NOT supposed to have stuff like this in TN, we are surrounded by mountains which I thought protected us. Guess not. Yikes. Nonetheless, I am home and gearing up to crawl in the tub...with a helmet! ha For real. Pictures to come.

Anways...I wanted to thank everyone for their encouraging responses the other day regarding my Donor's Choose post. Surprisingly....yesterday, I got an email saying the entire project had been FUNDED! Whoo hoo, God answered my prayers and I am beyond thankful for his continued faithfulness. The sweet couple who funded my project said they wanted to give back a portion of what God had given them. So nice, thank you! I truly have no words.....
Now to write up another project. Ideas?!

Back to the week. I was contacted by Central Office to open up my classroom to our local news station. One of the news anchors is doing a segment entitled "Melissa for Hire" where she goes into area businesses and tries to do the job. Her latest installment...becoming a kindergarten teacher and during Dr. Seuss week no less! Here is a sneak peak of pictures...my students were beyond thrilled. And the news anchor??  I think her words were "terrified!" ha

Afterwards, I was interviewed as well as one of my students. She was so sweet while they were suiting her up with the microphone. 

Clearly though, the fame and stardom has gone to her head. This is a picture of an autograph she gave our gym teacher today. ha ha Hilarious! She literally just wrote her first and last initial and then scribbled after it. I'd say...she's got the signature DOWN!

Here are a few fun pictures from our week. Thanks to our great readers from the local high school Beta Club. My kinders loved their fun hats and candy treats.

We also made anchor charts, read books, did workstations, and all sorts of other fun activities. Hopefully, I'll post some more pics soon!

Anyways...time to batton down the hatches. Grab this little freebie (hopefully it's not too late) and leave me some love. The clip art is from the fabulous Nikki at Melonheadz. I emailed her asking for a few specific Dr. Seuss items and voila...they appeared in my inbox! She is amazing! And to beat all, she posted them on her blog and named the bundle after ME! What?! First the news and now clipart in my name?! I may start offering autographs, too! ;-) ha ha I'm off to take shelter in the tub. Hugs!
