This week I'm sharing this very exciting collaborative online fundraiser for the American Cancer Society:

Donate $15 to the American Cancer Society, and download a beautiful book full of crafts for children.

Celebrating thirty years of cancer survivorship, and hoping that, someday, my story becomes the "typical" cancer story.

Here is a link to one of my posts for my part of MaryAnne's cancer fundraiser, which has one free butterfly coloring page sample of what I made for the project: http://www.wiseowlfactory.com/BookaDay/archives/6230

Here is a link to fireflies coloring pages as many teachers read a book about fireflies on the last day of school and compare releasing fireflies to releasing a class of students. I wrote the post last year but made the coloring pages today. http://www.wiseowlfactory.com/BookaDay/archives/1486

And, I was a guest blogger on Debbie Clement's Pre K and K Sharing blog (as I am the 14th of each month): http://prekandksharing.blogspot.com/2012/05/fun-nursery-rhymes-pock... Free 45 page PDF for regular and fun, fractured nursery rhymes (pocket chart lesson, or can be used as a matching game)

Thanks! Carolyn

I tried to comment on your firefly post, but captcha wouldn't let me in - tried three times...

This is my first time sharing in this forum...looks great! I would like to share my Kids Get Arty post from this week. http://www.kitchencounterchronicle.com/2012/05/kids-got-arty-with-g...

My daughters loved creating their own dog pictures, inspired by the works of the great American artist George Rodrigue.

Wonderful! I sent your link to an art teacher I know, and Maggy's page, too. Welcome to this group! Carolyn

Hi,

Here's my latest post about using playdough in my classroom - it's so much fun and really helps my students understand some of the concepts we're learning.
