Once again, the ladies at <a href="http://teachtalkinspire.blogspot.com/">TeachTalkInspire</a> and <a href="http://mydayinkinder.blogspot.com/">My Day in K</a> have outdone themselves and put together another amazing link up!!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are so excited to participate and share our resolutions for 2016!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

1. This year, we want to create more teacher friendly flipcharts for teachers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are fortunate enough to teach in a school where each teacher has a Promethean Board in their classroom. Most of our "planning" time is spent formatting flipcharts with our focus skills and whole group activities to use with our students. It helps us to stay organized during instruction, and ensures that we don't forget to cover anything! We aim to make a variety of cross-curricular flipcharts to share with other teachers to hopefully make their life a little easier. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. When we started this blog, we had stars in our eyes and pledged to blog every week. Haha. We were quite naive. Well, life happens. Between our families, classrooms, and all the extra work that comes with being a teacher, we were lucky to blog once a month! And, with us both being pregnant, being on maternity leave, and having a newborn this year, it was even worse!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, to correct this, we are sitting down and creating a REALISTIC blogging schedule for ourselves.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fingers crossed!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. As previously mentioned, life happens. We get so busy with life and school, that it goes by too fast!!! We LOVE getting together with our husbands (and now little girls), but just don't always have time. Well, we are going to make some time! :) We are resolving to slow down and go out to dinner together once a month. Nothing fancy, maybe McDonald's or Taco Bell if need be, but we are going to make it happen!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. Lastly, we are working to implement new teaching/learning strategies in our Math whole group lessons. Our resolution is to create more focused goals for our students and to work to find/create strategies that best support them in reaching those goals. We have been reading some research-based articles to learn more on the "best" strategies, and are so very excited to try them out with our students. We look forward to sharing the outcome with you! *Again, fingers crossed! ;0)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We wish all of you tons and tons of happiness this 2016 year!!! 2015 was an amazing year for us and our families and we cannot wait to see what 2016 brings! Happy New Year, Friends!</div>

Hello, Friends…long time, no see (well- long time, no blog)!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are sorry for the lack of posts lately. We would love to take a minute to "catch you up" on what is going on with us, Markers and Mascara, and our families!</div>

Brooklynn returned from maternity leave and has been taking the last few weeks to get to know her students and begin to find the mommy-teacher balance. It has taken a few weeks, but she is finally into a routine. Ashley has been diligently working to prepare for her maternity leave. This year, we will only work together for 13 weeks….we have never had to work without one another! <span style="color: #e06666;">"Life changes"</span> has been the overall theme to our year! ;0) This is a picture of us, with two of our other teacher-friends. Three of us will have had girls, within four months of each other!!!</div>

<i>The weather totally ruined our tradition. Usually, we celebrate outside on picnic tables…with the few inches of rain and high winds, we had to make do on the classroom floor. They still had an absolute blast!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;"><u>In Math</u>,</span> our students are currently: adding to sums of ten, counting to 100, building numbers using tens and ones, and identifying all 2-D shapes. <span style="color: #e06666;"><u>In Reading</u>,</span> they know 24 sight words, are reading age-appropriate stories, working to fluently read CVC words, can give the characters, setting, and sequence the events in stories, and can isolate beginning, medial, and ending sounds in words. <span style="color: #e06666;"><u>In Writing</u>,</span> our kinders can: draw pictures, label their pictures, and can use inventive spelling and sight words to write a sentence about their pictures. Our kiddos have been working so hard already this year. </div>

Like you all, we recently celebrated Thanksgiving with our families and friends. This year our Thanksgiving was unlike any other one before. You all know that Brooklynn just had a little girl, and that Ashley's little girl is due any day now. This Thanksgiving, we enjoyed celebrating the new additions to our families. We are incredibly blessed to be able to share in these new life changes together. Below is a picture of Ashley, and her husband and sister. After that is a picture of Brooklynn, her husband, and their daughter, E. </div>

<span style="color: #45818e; font-size: x-large;">We would like to take one more minute of your time to tell you how appreciative we are that you are a part of our lives. The blogging community has been one of our greatest professional blessings. We have been inspired, challenged, and encouraged by you. Two years ago, when we started </span><span style="color: #e06666; font-size: x-large;">Markers and Mascara</span><span style="color: #45818e; font-size: x-large;">, we never dreamed of all the blessings we would receive from joining in this crazy community. We have made life long friends; as well as, learned more than we could have ever imagined. Each day we log onto Instagram, Teachers Pay Teachers, Facebook, or read the many blogs we follow- we always, always, always learn something new. You all have challenged us to work harder, be better teachers, and even to step out of our comfort zones. The amazing thing is that when we did those, so many of you encouraged us along the way. <i><b>We seriously cannot thank you enough for the love you show us!</b></i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lastly, we are joining in on the Teachers Pay Teachers Cyber Monday Sale tomorrow. Stop by and pick up some of the things you have wish listed. Don't forget to use the extra code SMILE to receive 28% off your purchases. Also, you can use your feedback points to take even more off your total…go back and rate those products!</div>

<br />
Oh, Mrs. Wishy-Washy...how we love Mrs. Wishy-Washy! Do your students love this lady as much as ours do? Our students beg to read more of Mrs. Wishy-Washy- or even, to re-read her stories! </div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div>
To accompany these stories, we created a Reading mini-unit with Mrs. Wishy-Washy and her farm friends. We are excited to be giving away this unit and look forward to using it next week with our own students.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div>
This mini-unit would work well for your students at the beginning of the year. The skills included are: beginning sounds, color words, sight words, handwriting, and simple text.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNVdFEWPXtb0H9iWo7wH_hHFmcmxK0IBDCvOHdGAvrMSC-YMGl_oPM7SMIgFXN91GUVT6S_uzHaS3yr4BmleJTKGL0cdLyoEy3RcDTHPSUKMJH-RZjAg_qnmFM_4nDSIRJtzMTRobrkL0/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNVdFEWPXtb0H9iWo7wH_hHFmcmxK0IBDCvOHdGAvrMSC-YMGl_oPM7SMIgFXN91GUVT6S_uzHaS3yr4BmleJTKGL0cdLyoEy3RcDTHPSUKMJH-RZjAg_qnmFM_4nDSIRJtzMTRobrkL0/s400/1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Students use their knowledge of beginning sounds to "code" the mystery sight words. There is a resource included to help those students who are not proficient with beginning sounds. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7vp4gRLYg4aZAFCNoZ_tAIzqcEGl4LgmX0p8A7eeIBaJB6LZTPlLJL2HjGSApA5pQRwpYY3D65s8-z444hlIcCw3-OQ2W-RJcS3csu2tp47KoToTfDooO6LMmUbe1Ktr9cIrWnHTdvYA/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7vp4gRLYg4aZAFCNoZ_tAIzqcEGl4LgmX0p8A7eeIBaJB6LZTPlLJL2HjGSApA5pQRwpYY3D65s8-z444hlIcCw3-OQ2W-RJcS3csu2tp47KoToTfDooO6LMmUbe1Ktr9cIrWnHTdvYA/s400/2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Students pull one of Mrs. Wishy-Washy's friends and search for miniature pictures. Once students have found the pictures, they are to determine the beginning sound of that picture and work locate it on their recording sheet. Aren't these magnifiers adorable? Our kiddos LOVE getting to use such a cool tool in centers.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdI45n5a8DyYF5NwAAhTP6uv84Z1N0MWSQ0vr9bfM4eQtJceUBVW5BogTtc9BCBoxoI-xjcR9Yzjsa_H3XMKVtc_eZaNkGIhJotw5Z5BEKG4NJMwr1Qh2Yid2M6y5RXrMr64zO_yxV53I/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdI45n5a8DyYF5NwAAhTP6uv84Z1N0MWSQ0vr9bfM4eQtJceUBVW5BogTtc9BCBoxoI-xjcR9Yzjsa_H3XMKVtc_eZaNkGIhJotw5Z5BEKG4NJMwr1Qh2Yid2M6y5RXrMr64zO_yxV53I/s400/3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
This is another class favorite. Reflecting images into a mirror keeps students engaged and interested. At this activity, students reflect the sight word and record the image on their recording sheet.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This activity can be used in a variety of ways. Here, we had students read the sentences with their partner, then practice writing the sentences, using the pocket chart as their resource. Our kinders need practice with handwriting and writing complete sentences, so this is a win-win activity for us!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyQDv3BWZBQVSjT53vuAkl0q0CPpwvIPKkJgAnR4t7C_Lja1d_-LMJ9wYNdlX_AxeRwEyhdZrIxHp4dxiSvb7lhBerX0pzkUFxEAZjrzUckootiNsSgKSXkxed5cyXbjIJLvA4sZcArO4/s1600/6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyQDv3BWZBQVSjT53vuAkl0q0CPpwvIPKkJgAnR4t7C_Lja1d_-LMJ9wYNdlX_AxeRwEyhdZrIxHp4dxiSvb7lhBerX0pzkUFxEAZjrzUckootiNsSgKSXkxed5cyXbjIJLvA4sZcArO4/s400/6.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Who doesn't love when Mrs. Wishy-Washy makes all the animals take a bath? Throughout this activity, students work to determine what color paint Mrs. Wishy-Washy had to wash off of the animals. Students are able to use a multitude of skills to complete this activity.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Our kinders are all about emergent readers. One of their favorite things each week is getting to add a new reader to their Reading Briefcases. This mini-unit includes an easy reader for extra practice.<br />

Tomorrow, it's back to school for the teachers in our district. We have been working endlessly in our rooms to prepare for the new year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of our most favorite things about going back to school, really has nothing to do with us…or even our school…it's the Teachers Pay Teachers Back to School sale. We look forward to it every year and always pre-shop days before…filling up our carts and making sure we've earned all of our free credits.</div>

Monday and Tuesday (August 3rd and 4th), we are joining in and offering 20% off of everything in our store. Over the summer, we've created a few new products that you may want to take a look at before you empty that shopping cart.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are doing things a little different this year in our rooms, and are going back to some of the old classics, to teach literary themes.

These pictures will take you right to these new booklets, as well. Notice the freebie! We are already working on booklets for digraphs, consonant blends, and long vowels. Have any other ideas? Leave any ideas/wishes in the comments, and we will happily add them to our list. <br />

Thank you so much for your continued support. We are very excited about this upcoming school year and look forward to collaborating with and learning from you all! <br />

<span style="color: #ea9999; font-size: large;">We wish you much success as you return to school. And, for those of you who still have weeks of summer to enjoy…soak up every minute!</span></div>

This week we are so very excited to be able to join Erin at Kindergarten Dragons for her linky party, "Spotlight Saturday!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This Saturday, we would like to "<span style="color: yellow; font-size: x-large;">spotlight</span>"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the author of the "Mrs. B's First Grade" blog, <span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;">Sarah Barnett</span>, who is from Highland Park, Illinois. Sarah has been teaching for ten years: five in kindergarten and five in first grade. She is the only first grade teacher at her school! (Bless her heart!) In 2011, Sarah began blogging about her classroom experiences. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
During the first "Two Truths and A Lie: Tell All Tuesday" we were fortunate to have guessed Sarah's lie correctly and won her, <span style="color: #45818e; font-size: large;">"My Reading Toolbelt"</span> pack!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDeD6DvTvHSlMDL6fdY-x1SnagClAE0JHDwDZVpBmsJ2RtuLviMOqptFDr1T4LC9_CjG8pnUf8SwRRNPv3u9ej_vwoPKHpbOwIFeE9zVyBkeEAMj3S-6iz_o_pKJ7cIqpSkfjsoglMpY0/s1600/Screen+Shot+2015-06-30+at+5.53.05+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDeD6DvTvHSlMDL6fdY-x1SnagClAE0JHDwDZVpBmsJ2RtuLviMOqptFDr1T4LC9_CjG8pnUf8SwRRNPv3u9ej_vwoPKHpbOwIFeE9zVyBkeEAMj3S-6iz_o_pKJ7cIqpSkfjsoglMpY0/s320/Screen+Shot+2015-06-30+at+5.53.05+PM.png" width="238" /></a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Included in this pack is:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;">1. One full-page, student resource with the eight strategies listed</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;">2. Two bookmark-sized, student resource with the eight strategies listed</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;">3. One two-page explanation of each of the eight strategies</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sarah has used some of the cutest ideas for teaching students reading strategies. We just LOVE the idea of having students "reach into their toolbelts" for strategies to help them figure out tricky words. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The strategies Sarah gives to students to put in their "toolbelts" are:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;">1. Look at the Picture</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;">2. Look for Words Within Words </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;">3. Stretch and Reread</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;">4. Cross-Check</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;">5. Chunk Letters or Sounds</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;">6. Flip the Sound</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;">7. Look for Word Families</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;">8. Skip the Word and Go Back/Back Up and Reread</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
We have been super eager to begin using these in our classrooms. We have planned out how we are going to use these resources this year. Below are our ideas for teaching and using them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-size: large;">A) Small Group Resource Bins and Classroom Poster - Whole Page Strategy Resource</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-size: large;">B) Table Resource Bins and Reading Briefcases - Bookmark-sized Resource</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-size: large;">C) Parent Resource - Explanation of Strategies</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As we teach our students to read, it is critical that they have many resources to pull from. Knowing where to look to find answers, helps build the confidence of beginning readers. We give our students many resources and often will respond to questions with, "Please look at your resources!" It is a MUST for our students to know how to search for answers on their own. By knowing where to look, our distractions are minimized, their confidence is built up, and students can more quickly "get" an answer; rather than having to wait for us to stop our instruction and give the answer. Sarah's packet is a fabulous addition to our long list of class resources!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are just so excited about implementing these strategies and resources into our classrooms this year. Sarah, THANK YOU SO MUCH for your hard work and for constructing such a high-quality packet. </div>

This month, we are giving away our Zoo unit: <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Its-A-Zoo-Around-Here-A-Literacy-and-Math-Unit-for-Primary-Students-1726085">It's a Zoo Around Here</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is not really a "beginning of the year" pack. But, it is a great resource to keep in your back pocket until second semester when your Kinders have a good grasp on all letters and sounds. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This unit is packed with activities to reinforce blending CVC words, reading using blends and digraphs, place value, addition, subtraction, and LOTS of sight words! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our kiddos love to "Roll and Read." This is such great practice for fluently blending CVC words. </div>

There are a variety of different activities to practice High Frequency Words. With these cards, the opportunities for center ideas are endless! We love the dollar store trays, and our kids do, too! So building sight words seemed like a no brainer to us!</div>

I'm not Lion... our kids LOVED this center! There is something about a missing letter that makes the challenge fun. They feel so successful at "spelling" CVC words. </div>

We are very blessed to have been raised, where family time was a top priority. Our families took lots of trips and experienced several exciting vacations throughout our childhoods. Thinking about all of the "flashbacks" from our childhood summers was such fun! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ashley's family grew up going to her grandparents' house on the lake each weekend. They enjoyed yearly family vacations to Gulf Shores, AL. Brooklynn's family grew up going to her Nana's pool most summer days, and to the beach for a week each summer. Her family grew up going to Destin, FL…and they still prefer it over any other beach. Here is a funny picture of Brooklynn and some of her friends in the pool, waaaaaaaaay back in <span style="color: #e06666;">1996</span>!<br />

Now that we are adults, we have been blessed with some of the best friends ever. We never imagined the amazing friendships becoming mentor teachers would bring. We now, enjoy spending our summers hanging out with our "teacher friends" and acting like "real humans" during the summer days. Thank you, Lord, for your gift of girlfriends. Cookouts, planning meetings, dinner dates…are just some of the fun things we enjoy doing together. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
We had such a fun time compiling our wildest dreams into one list. We cracked up at how different even some of our "wildest dreams" are….yet, some were exactly the same. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Without further ado….here are our greatest dreams!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

First, and probably the most attainable one is to "Attend an Iron Bowl Together!" We don't usually talk to each other that day…or about it any of the days after. We don't trash-talk one another- we usually just pretend neither one of our teams lost/won…like it never happened! We'd love to have the chance to experience such an intensely-crazy game together!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next, we would love to "Start a Teacher-Friendly Clothing Line." We have different tastes in how we choose to dress; however, we agree that no one company does a fabulous job of offering "teacher-friendly" options. We'd love the opportunity to change that!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We realize this isn't necessarily appropriate…but, how fabulous to wear PJs everyday!?!? ;0)</div>

This next dream may have you laughing a bit…but, we are all but kidding when we say we would love for our children to someday marry and make us "real" family! (Side note: this is all with the big IF of, IF Ashley and Nick have a little boy. They will find out in July.)

Being honest…this is TOTALLY Ashley's goal. Brooklynn is terrified of needles and has to "pep-talk" herself into allowing the nurses at the doctors office to prick her finger or draw her blood. Ashley has a TON of convincing to do before this dream becomes a reality.</div>

Lastly, our ULTIMATE goal is to: "Become Administrators of Our Own Pre-K School!" How amazing would it be to hire the best of the best, and serve the greatest natural resource this Earth has?!?! We would LOVE to be able to allow teachers to use their own judgement and best practices to educate students on a wide variety of skills….not just math and reading! We would love to manage a school environment where all children are successful and feel loved. </div>

This week, we thought it would be easy to write, but when we sat down to make our list, it was a lot harder than we realized! However, we had a marvelous time coming up with crazy things to put on our Bucket List! We chose to go with a few things that were actually attainable for us.</div>

Sadly, we are not attending the Vegas Conference this year. We had high hopes last year of being able to attend. However, since we both have a bun in the oven, we just won't be making it this year. There's always next year... haha</div>

Maternity leave is a scary thing. This is probably our biggest challenge. One of the very few things we have in common is our Type A personalities. So, the though of relinquishing control of our classrooms to a stranger is slightly terrifying. Ok, lets be real, it's really terrifying! We both hope to survive this gracefully, and to NOT come to our classrooms until our leave is over. Hold your breath on that one... (insert wicked laugh)</div>

We are so blessed to work in a county who is beginning to see the value in developmentally appropriate practices. We feel like we had, as a system, veered away from that...and are now excited that the pendulum is swinging back the other way. We are hoping that within the next few years, we have the opportunity to teach side by side in a "Co-Teaching" environment. We will keep you updated!</div>

<br />
This week, we are THRILLED to start the TPT Seller Challenge!</div>
<div align="center">
We have enjoyed getting our blog back on track! The aches of early pregnancy, the pains of closing out the school year caused us to neglect our blog, Instagram, TPT, etc.. for a few months. So, as the first trimester has passed for both of us, it is time to refocus our attentions back to this community of bloggers and friends we have met! All that said, we are excited to accept this TPT Seller Challenge and look forward to connecting with some new friends!</div>

We recently made over an old unit that we HATED! Haha Being one of the first units we uploaded to TPT, it was definitely not our best work! We had just learned how to use PowerPoint and did NOT know what we were doing! (Why didn't someone say something? :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The original Weather Unit we posted was a Math mini pack. Not only did we update the cover, fonts, clipart, and Math activities; we also added Reading centers to complete this unit. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This week, our NEW and IMPROVED Weather Unit is on sale for only $2.00. Click below to check it out on TPT. </div>

We hope you are enjoying your summer thus far. We have been enjoying taking a few weeks off (from working on school-related stuff) to refresh and breathe.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today, we are super thrilled to be linking up with our friends at <a href="http://teachtalkinspire.blogspot.com/">Teach.Talk.Inspire</a> and <a href="http://mydayinkinder.blogspot.com/">A Day in K</a> to bring you "Two Truths and A Lie: Tell All Tuesday."</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We've met some really creative people through the blogging world and we are linking up to tell you about ourselves.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmqihuTB1yOSQJoDiemK7IczSxXYn9zAe-ufhqQ7ISwjm1pYsrHfVsg09RApPbuvTHMkHxKphfoAlvuEZoquZcU1FzwbbaTjX2KercZrGZpzkvEqTnuUGsHXTyxIdz5Hk0iJFQoVwsn3E/s1600/A+and+B.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmqihuTB1yOSQJoDiemK7IczSxXYn9zAe-ufhqQ7ISwjm1pYsrHfVsg09RApPbuvTHMkHxKphfoAlvuEZoquZcU1FzwbbaTjX2KercZrGZpzkvEqTnuUGsHXTyxIdz5Hk0iJFQoVwsn3E/s400/A+and+B.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are two teachers from Birmingham, AL. We currently teach Kindergarten in a K-2 primary school. We have 14 kindergarten units! Can you imagine?!?! We joined the blogging world a little over a year ago and have LOVED every minute of it. We have met some of the sweetest people and have learned so much from so many inspiring educators.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #45818e; font-size: large;">Something else that you may not know about us is that we are POLAR OPPOSITES! We love each other fiercely, but have only a few things in common. We have different tastes in clothes, music, movies, outdoor activities…basically we bonded solely on our passion for education. Over the years, we have become very fond of each others' differences and even celebrate them! (Cue Paula Abdul's "Opposites Attract") HA!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, let's play a little game…</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Below are three "facts" about ourselves. Two are true statements and one is a lie.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you are the FIRST person to comment with the correct lie, you will get to pick one of our products (under $5.00) for free!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #93c47d;"><i>Congrats to Tiffani Humphries for being the FIRST commenter to guess correctly! <u>If you also guessed that Number 1 was our lie</u>, <b>we'd like to give you a free product, as well</b>! To claim your "prize", </i></span><i style="color: #93c47d;">please email us at markersandmascara@gmail.com and let us know which product you would like for FREE (under $5.00)! And, thank you for stopping by! Congratulations!</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: x-large;">#1: Both, Ashley and Brooklynn, graduated from the same university. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #ffd966; font-size: x-large;">THIS IS THE LIE! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #45818e; font-size: large;">Ashley </span></span><span style="color: #45818e; font-size: large;">graduated from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and Brooklynn graduated from Auburn University. *We did graduate from the same high school….one year apart. However, we did not know each other in high school. Ashley is a die-hard University of Alabama fan and Brooklynn bleeds orange and blue. In case you aren't aware, by living in the great state of Alabama- you are required to pick of the two universities: Auburn or Alabama! You must devote yourself wholly to all things related to that university and you cannot waiver. There is no in between…it's a FULL commitment!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: x-large;">#2: Both, Ashley and Brooklynn, are pregnant.</span><br />
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">Surprise</span><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">!</span><span style="color: #45818e; font-size: large;"> Yes, we both ARE pregnant! The good Lord works in the most AMAZING ways! Brooklynn and Chad's little girl is due in mid-August and Ashley and Nick's bundle of joy is due in early December. We are incredibly excited about starting this new journey together. We just know they will love each other as much as we do! We've already found them matching shirts…</span><br />

<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: x-large;">#3: Both, Ashley and Brooklynn, have only ever taught Kindergarten.</span><br />
<span style="color: #45818e; font-size: large;">This, too, is true! Ashley and Brooklynn both interned/student taught in several other grades, but have only had kindergarten classrooms of our own. We fully believe that kindergarten is the place for us! </span><span style="color: #45818e; font-size: x-large;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can you guess which "fact" is the lie??? Leave your guess in the comments. We'd love for you to play along with us. You can write your own "Two Truths and A Lie" with your guess and we will try to pick the lie. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Come back on Friday to find out the lie!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We hope you all have a wonderful week. Thank you for stopping by!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #45818e; font-size: large;">Again, thank you so much for coming back to read more about us! Thank you to Teach.Talk.Inspire and A Day in K for hosting such a fun linky party. We can't wait to link up again next week. If you are interested in linking up- stop by their blogs to find out how!</span></div>

Pete loves colors, and so do we! Early in Kindergarten, we push students to use "resources" for everything! Here, they are able to use a color word resource to decide what color Pete's shoes should be. <br />

We spend a great amount of time at the beginning of the year, with visual discrimination of letters. These two activities give students opportunities to practice deciphering between, and tracing letters.</div>

Every mommy letter has a baby letter. (Ha) Students pull a pair of Pete's sneakers and record the "baby" letter. (We don't actually call them Mommy and Baby letters in our classrooms. Our kids try, but we prefer Capital and Lowercase.)<br />

Text is so vital to a Kindergarten classroom. Our students receive an emergent reader or two each week. They love taking ownership of these books and taking them home to read with their family. These are seriously the highlight of each week with our Kinders! In this pack, students practice basic literacy skills such as tracking, fluency, sight words, and color words. <br />

Sight words, sight words, sight words! (Marsha, Marsha, Marsha)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For Pete's sake, these words are SO important to emerging readers! Early in the year, we spend a lot of time practicing our sight words by spinning and tracing, rolling and tracing, pulling and tracing... a lot of tracing! You know as well as we do that Kinders need lots of letter formation practice and practice with their sight words to be successful readers and writers. </div>

Our Kinders just LOVE to research on the internet. However, we were uncomfortable allowing them on the internet without us sitting right next to them (and let's be honest, who can do that?) That is, until we discovered the wonderful world of Symbaloo!! It is an amazing website where you can gather your websites! Kind of like a Pinterest board for websites! We got right to work, and put a little insect Symbaloo page together for our kiddos to research! </div>

One of the greatest things about teaching kindergarten is our freedom to theme-teach. Our students enjoy connecting with our theme, through math and literacy centers designed around it! Our newest favorite activity is "This OR That?". We needed a new way to check their learning, and a sweet friend suggested we create something where they have to read the word and identify it in pictures. Our students have LOVED this new way of reading CVC words. </div>
