To the Point Synonyms

I'm loving my newest product,  To the Point Synonyms.
"To the Point" packs for other concepts are already in the works too, so be looking for them.
I've already made other ones for Categories , Guide Words ,  Word Families,  Prefixes and Suffixes, and Analogies  also.

Getting to the point, this new pack is great for working with synonyms, using a thesaurus and practicing study skills, using detail and varying word choice in writing, and discussing shades of word meaning.

And since I haven't done a giveaway in way too long I'll be giving 3 lucky winners a copy!

Workin It Wednesday

I'm joining in on Corinna's Workin It Wednesday.
My goal this summer is to have a regular walking routine.
One week into my summer and I am pleased to stay I've stayed on track.

My exercise routine is nothing special at all.
I just leash up Harley and walk along this bridle path.
2-3 miles is my average walk.


This path is well traveled by others walkers.
But the most unusual spotting on one of my walks was someone walking their pig on a leash.
Harley knew, spot on, that this was no other dog, and was desperately sniffing the air as we came upon Mr. Pig.
Pigs don't walk very fast so we zipped right on by.
I've also seen a gentleman in his rickshaw pulled by a donkey.
My favorite is to see the horses slow galloping along the path (except for the time my sister and I encountered a scared runaway horse and hid behind one of the trees to get out of its path. That was years ago though, so I think I've recovered)

Now, I really have no excuse for NOT walking, as I can view my walking route right from my front window. But sadly during the school year, even with a front row seat, my routine literally goes out the window.

Here's Harley today post walk. The coolest spot is the tiled entry way so he's chilling there.


And I grabbed a glass of water with lemon



Tomorrow's another day to ....Walk On.

Mother’s Day Recipe for Mom


My students celebrated their moms by making this flower pot recipe holder craft.
They attached a "Recipe for Mom" card.
The craft came from Oriental Trading, but the exact craft is no longer available on their site.
I had leftovers from years ago when I purchased it. I hope they'll bring it back because I've done this same project every year.  Happy Mother's Day!
