My Inspiration
I thought that a quick break from our normal blog posts was in order. Our friend Dana is hosting her first Linky Party about things that inspire us. So I thought about what was inspiring me today and my daughter came to my mind. She is in the second grade and is big for her age. At her last dr appointment, the dr said that she needed to lose about 25 pounds. And in fact, so do I. So we both started eating healthy and exercising more. She has lost 5 pounds so far and I am so proud of her. She got me off the couch and off my computer because of her commitment to lose that weight. I even joined a Yoga salon and love, love going. So, here's to those extra 20 pounds coming off soon!!!

Happy February
I wanted to make something really cute for Valentine's Day. So, I started making this game and didn't get it finished until tonight. Instead of a cute Valentine name, I just named it Spanish Heart Vowel Match. You can use it for a Valentine's Day activity if you want. It can be used anytime because it is to cute. I found this sweet little red box at the Dollar Tree along with a set of clothespins.
Students select a card and find the vowel that it starts with. By using the clothespins to mark the letter, they will be strengthening those fine motor muscles. I think that I might try to find some smaller clothespins or even colored ones to add to my game. I am also going to place a sticker on the back where the correct letter is to make it self-checking.
Have a great Valentine's Day with your loved ones!

New Year, New Ideas, New Possibilities
Hi! I'm super excited to be part of this blog hop! Thanks to Stephany and Stephanie and Kathi at Primary Possibilities for hosting this blog hop!
Thanks for coming over from More than Math by Mo
My name is Lisa Bohaty, from Mrs. Bohaty's Kindergarten Kingdom. I am a Kindergarten Teacher and have been for 11 years! I absolutely LOVE it! Just this year, I have gotten brave enough to start a blog and am enjoying getting to know more bloggers everywhere. I am going to share with you one of my new favorite things to make for my writing center. I have been making this every month this year and my students have enjoyed it. It not only helps them with writing but it also helps to build vocabulary! I have a school population of 76% Hispanic and 96% Free/reduced so my kids need extra help with vocabulary. We are also doing everything we can to help them learn the English Language. I put this center into a pocket chart and the students sit in front of it with clip board and write the words. You could also take the words and put them around the room and have students move a little. Movement never hurts anyone! :)
I enjoy creating new things for my Kindergarteners and hope that you will visit my store and my blog! Here is a FREEBIE for you
Here it is! January writing center. What I like about this is it gives the kids a page where they have to find the picture and then find the word in the pocket chart. I added MLK and 100th day because they are both this month. I know equality will be a hard work for them but what better way to introduce that word that means to much!
Here is the link to pick up your copy for FREE from my TPT store! If you download it please consider following me and leaving a comment! January Writing Center Thanks! Lisa
Thanks to Spanish Beginning Sounds for having me over! Looking forward to visiting some blogs along the way!
