Batty for Literacy Centers and a FREEBIE!
Hey everyone! I am excited to about this post! Sometimes as teachers we get SO busy, we don't get to "plan ahead"! Well I am gearing up for "Bat Week"! Some of us do not celebrate Halloween in our classrooms and so bat week is a great way to tie into the season :) I just go by what my students backgrounds are and then determine if I will recognize Halloween.
I am so excited about all of the things I was able to pull together.
First off, I created this little mini packet to tie Bat Week together!! As you know I LOVE, *Skill* Based Literacy Centers! But I also like for the *Skills* to correlate with our *Theme*! So I combine *Skill and Themed Based Literacy Centers*!!!
Here is the unit I came up with:
This mini packet includes 3 Bat Themed Literacy Centers and 4 Printables!
*Batty for ABC Order- Students arrange the short vowel cards in ABC Order (1 Printable)
*Batty for Blends- Students read the cards and then sort them onto the correct mat ( 3 Printables)
*Batty for Sight Words- A Sight Word Game

Some other resources I am using:
I am using Caitlin from the wonderful Kindergarten Smiles
I love this because I am able to differentiate instruction. Some first graders still need help with those letter sounds, so this is a great tool!
Another GREAT Resource is from Erica Bohrer! I am in *LOVE* With her newest packet! Batty-for-Bats is SO user friendly. She does a great job with examples of how you can use the packet in a variety of ways. I also love how the packet uses higher order thinking skills. This is probably one of my favorite packets out there right now!
A few FREEBIES to check out :

Word Family Fun and A FREEBIE!
Hey everyone! First off I love anything to do with FROGS!!!! I am kinda of obsessed with these little guys!!
I have a little word family fun for you today!! I am always trying to think of a new activity to put learning in the hands of my kiddos. This one was super fun!
You can get the template for FREE right HERE!!!!
We used -at and -an words! You can use any you would like. I would have cut out all of the templates prior to the lesson.
I cut on one set per table. Depending on your class or age group, you have a volunteer cut the pieces out for you. In the perfect world right ;) Students in the 1st and 2nd grade should be able to trace the template and cut them out.
We are also using this word family center packet! It's great for those "sponge" moments!
Check it out RIGHT here

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.
The front of the kit
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!
Go check out all the other great products out there!
