Product Swap

 Hello! I am paring up with Olivia from  Liv To Teach for the product swap!

I am reviewing her Writing-Workshop-Personal-Desk-Reference-8-tools-in-1. Let me just start by saying how much I *Love* this product! It was so easy to use and so quick to put together. It really helped with vocabulary as well. For all the times when students want to use the same words over and over again...this is perfect! It stores so easily in their desk as well! 

The assembly was so easy. You just lay the file folders on top of each other and secure with double sided tap. Leave about once inch of an overlap, then snip the tabs off and you are done! So easy! Love it!

Proper punctuation is something most students often forget, but with this handy reminder, they remember to go back and check their work!

Purpose for writing....students need to think about the "why" a little more often. This is just a helpful reminder.

Be sure to hop on over and check out Olivia's Blog Liv To Teach! She has some great ideas and wonderful apple stories to share!!

And if you hop on over to my TpT Store I am having a flash sale in honor of the product swap!

Number Order

Hey Y'all. As most know, my little man is in the First Grade this year :) He's growing up so fast! 

One thing that he has  struggled with is writing his numbers in order in different patterns. He can skip count verbally, but has difficulty writing them in different orders.  This is often an issue with students this age. So I made these little practice sheets to help him with number order and skip counting.  They include counting forward and backwards as well as skip counting. Enjoy! 

You can get your copy HERE.

Till Next Time :)

Inspire. Dream. Believe

I don't know if you caught Deanna Jump on CNN last night...but it was truly inspiring. Not only for the amount of money she has made, but the way that her products have changed so many teachers lives. How many people can say they made an investment that helped as many people as she has? Think about this....teachers have always helped each other, that's how we get through our jobs, and this is no different. The sellers on TpT, are just HELPING us. They are creating materials and selling them at a reasonable price to help us teach the skills we need to teach. I think about my career before Teachers Pay Teachers and how much of a better teacher I am now because of it.So many advantages to this site, but one that I just LOVE is that once your purchase a file, you have it forever! Remember going to the teacher store and buying a book about literacy centers....tearing it all apart for the one center you need. You just spent $25.00 probably for a "few" centers! Crazy! Now we can go find the exact skill we are teaching, and save it! That way if you need multiple copies for small group instruction, or the kiddos mess it up, guess what, you just re-print! Such a grand idea! I am in LOVE with TpT and have made over 125 purchases! I love my little digital collection of files...and that reminds me..back up your files! Several Times! Don't lose your files!I also love the fact that we know these centers are created by teachers. Someone who probably just got through teaching the exact skill that I am teaching and knows the rigor that it needs to be taught at....

Stay tuned this weekend for some great FREEBIES! I am throwing a little sale this weekend, so be sure to head over and check it out  HERE!

If you didn't catch the video of Deanna, check it out HERE! She is so humble, kind and willing to help anyone. Such a wonderful person!

Staple Centers Part 2

In my previous post, I talked about "Staple" Literacy Centers. These are centers that I can pull out throughout the year and use. I also use these centers in my "I'm Finished Bin". When a student is finished with their work, they can get a station to work at their seat quietly. I really love this idea, especially for math. I always a have a few that I have to really keep challenging them!

One of my FAVORITE "Staple" packets is from Anna Brantley's Fun-in-the-Sun-Math-and-Literacy-Center-Packet. I love this packet because it includes both Short and Long Vowels, Time AND Money, and the sentence scrambles are amazing! I love packets that include a variety of popular skills, because I can use them for so many things! She has TONS of great products, but this my favorite!

Another great one from the none other than Cara Carroll is her Ready-Set-Learn-Back-To-School-Math-Literacy-Activities packet! This one is great because it focuses on skills that are often assumed.  Sometimes teachers "skip" basic steps, and before you know it, students get to third grade and can't spell the word "twelve"! This packet is great for basic skills that sometimes we assume kids know, when in actuality they do not :) Go check it out..now :)


Another great "staple" packet is my Parts-of-Speech-Mini-Packet. This packet includes 4 literacy centers, 6 printables, and 6 mini anchor charts!

Finally-- my Leaping-Over-Word-Families

 is great for those moments when you just have a few minutes here or there. "Sponge" Moments is what my principal calls them! I love these cards for that purpose. They are great on rings, and can be pulled out at any time!!

Be sure to head over and check em' out right HERE

Stay tuned this week, I am linking up with some of my  favorite bloggy friends for a great surprise! 

Till Next Time :)
