My friend Mary at A Classroom Full of Smiles has started a wonderful Linky Party that I'm excited to join AND plan to join every Saturday....yep, that's my goal!

Since I've put it out into the World, I will stick to it!

Each week everyone is going to link up items and things that will help teachers plan for the next week or two. After you've read mine, head on over there to see what else you might need!

Valentine's Day! Valentine's Day! Valentine's Day!
LOOK!
I finished decorating my ENTIRE house...

Fern Smith's Valentine's Day Ideas, Including Decorating, Bookmarkers, Center Games and Lesson Plans

Red mats at the bar, pink candle, snowman put away and red heart on the sink basket.

Matching pink candle on the island, done!
Dadgum, I'm exhausted!
Yes, my friends, decorating the Fern-way is that easy! I've done my classrooms and homes for over 25 years now, it is so nice to put up what I want, where I want and be done when I want! :)
But, I really do ♥love Valentines and all the excitement!
I also ♥love paint sample cards and everything you can make with them...they are terrific for cheap, inexpensive arts and crafts for kids. For these pictures, just give the kids some old scrapbooking stickers and crayons and/or markers.

In keeping with the Valentine theme this week, I have quite a few math centers for February. OK, maybe more than a few, I have 28, yes, I counted 28 for math. I fall in ♥love with the clip art and then just keep creating.

This week, I also wrote a fun, quick, little post about using wrapping paper, especially DISCOUNTED wrapping paper, for your bulletin boards.

Your kitchen counters look just like mine:) I love to add candles too. Today when I came home my mom had candles burning and I was instantly relaxed!

Love your kitchen.... and decor of course!!
Would you briefly explain a linky party and how one goes about doing that? Or is it too hard dot explain via comment and I should google it again? You have a new follower... ! I am very new to the world of blogging so I am fumbling my way through! :)
