Ok if you've made it all this way I thank you!! I know, I know that is a loooooong list and waaaaaay more themes than there are weeks in a school year, but I'm trying to pull them all together, somehow. I've been obsessed with themes for my whole career and I'm trying to combine all of my kits, books, and lessons into the smallest list possible, but it's just not working like I want it to hehe.

One last thing... Yes, you are right that was a binkie in Zoey's mouth! And no I'm not crazy! When she was little she used to whine like no other and on one random occasion we were somewhere with someone's baby and my spoiled pup stole it. The rest is history! xoxo

Until Next Time...

I have awarded you with the lovely blog award! You don't need to link back to my blog because I just saw that you already have it. But I just want to share how much I admire you!

You have a great list going here! It will feel so great to have all those units made going into the school year. I am wishing we taught the same grade level because than I could just buy your units, and I would be all set! :)
