SassyKidz Beach Freebies!

Whew...one more day with my kiddos!  Yes...tomorrow is our last day of school!!!  I am sad to see my students go but...oh so ready for things to slow down a little.  These past few weeks have been 
C-R-A-Z-Y 
with assessments, project-based learning activities, and our end of the year activities!  One thing I've enjoyed in the evenings to help me unwind from these final and hectic days of the school year is doodling!  Yes, I am a doodler and I find it very relaxing to draw on my ipad in the evenings.   I have been playing around with some graphics and have named the kiddies below as my...SassyKidz!  If you need some clip art for your beach-themed goodies then you might like this free download.  Here you go!  Just click on the picture for the freebie link.  Hope you can use them!-Yvonne :)



 On another note...I've had several teachers asking about my Common Core Daily Practice packets for August through December!  I can't wait to get started on those this next week once I am finished with post-planning!  I will offer some type of bundle sets so please keep posted this summer.  

Everyone has been so sweet with their comments and feedback on my January through May packets.   Check out some of the comments below from teachers who have purchased these packets.  Thanks so much!-Yvonne :)

very rigorous for the end of second grade!




 Thanks so much for creating these! They have saved me a ton of time and my kiddos really look forward to them!

Had to get this one too!! Awesome work!!! Looking forward to August, September, October, and November

Awesome, I've been using it daily as my classes bell work. Thanks for making my morning easier to prepare.

Sassy Cat Beach Centers...Finally!!!

Whew!  I finally finished my "Sassy Cat Goes to the Beach" Math and Literacy Centers!  This has been one busy week for all of us at school.  I am so glad our Benchmark testing is over!!!  Time to go out tonight and relax with my hubby!  I've been working evenings to finish up my first Sassy Cat Center packet (to go with my Sassy Cat Spending Spree Math Tub) and hope you will go on over to my store to check it out!  I look forward to using these centers with my own students!  I've also downloaded my Sassy Cat Sand Play Pronouns "freebie" as a sample for you all! Be sure to get this as well for your summer fun activities.
I decided to add an extra option with this download!  I received a comment from someone that I'd like to share...
"I LOVE your centers, I just wish they weren't all in color or that you gave B&W and Color options. Keep up the great ideas."
I wrote back...  "Thank you for your purchase and feedback on my Math and Literacy Centers! I so appreciate you mentioning the color options. I wasn't aware that teachers would want B&W as an option for center pieces until you mentioned it. I've made a B&W answer sheet but not center pieces. I decided to make my center packets from here on out with both options thanks to your suggestion. Thank you for that! Please check out my Sassy Cat Goes to the Beach coming this week with color and B&W center pieces. I hope this will make things easier for you and other teachers to prepare centers/activities for your students. Thanks again!"-Yvonne Dixon (Sassy in Second)So...  I decided to offer...  BLACK AND WHITE OPTION INCLUDED IN THIS DOWNLOAD! These centers give you the option of printing in color on cardstock or black and white on colored construction paper!   Each page is duplicated to make it easier for teachers to prepare. I hope this works well for everyone! 

On another note...next week I need to begin making Mother's Day crafts.  We do "Muffins for Moms" in Second grade at our school and the children present their moms with special gifts and goodies!  I need to hit up Pinterest to get some cute ideas!  I'd love to know what everyone else is planning to do.  If you have a cool idea you'd like to share please leave a note below!  Thanks and have a great night everyone!-Yvonne
