Exit Slip FREEBIE

Here are some examples of elves created from my Elf Craft set 

So cute...even if I do say so myself ;)

And, in the Christmas spirit, here is a FREEBIE for you! 

A Little Bit of This and a Little Bit of That

I've been really busy creating some new items for TpT!  I posted my most recent item, "Editable Spelling Tic-Tac-Toe Boards" today, so I thought I'd post about it on my blog.  Then I realized that I hadn't posted about some of my other recent items....I have to admit, I need to get better at updating my blog. Click on the pictures below to check out the items in my store.

I've used a spelling tic-tac-toe board to differentiate my students' spelling h.w. since I began teaching.  In this set, you get the tasks that I use with my students (in two versions), plus you get two editable versions so you can add whichever tasks you would like!  That makes this set useful for virtually any grade level. :)

 I recently updated my literature group discussion sheets because I wanted "cuter" forms to use with my students.  My students are currently in three different reading groups ("I Survived..." groups, "39 Clues" groups, and "Found" groups). I meet with all of the groups to check my students' comprehension of the novels they are reading.  When we meet, students will read sections of their discussion sheets to share what they have learned. BTW, my students LOVE these three series, and I highly recommend them!

Next up is a holiday themed communication set that includes various newsletters and stationary that come in a PDF version and an editable version.  Teachers and students can use these forms in the upcoming month of school!

Lastly, I created some festive banners in which you can decorate your classroom!

Thanksgiving FREEBIE

Here's a Thanksgiving FREEBIE to show my thanks to you! Jump on over to my TpT store to snag it!

My school's fall conferences were today.  I can't believe how quickly the year's going! Anyways, the whole day I couldn't wait to get home to post my newest product on TpT.  Over the last few days, I created a cute turkey craft and some language arts related activities, which I combined into a Thanksgiving pack.  It's never too early to think about next month's lesson plans! ;) haha

The first blog follower to leave a comment that includes his/her email address, will receive the pack for FREE!

New Owl Themed Products & Raffle

It's been awhile since I've posted new items on TpT.  I've been incredibly busy this year.  But, I have found a  little bit of time to create two owl themed resources.  The first is a SMART Board attendance and lunch count pack.  The second is an EDITABLE conference reminder sheet.  These new products complement my other owl themed resources.

And, since I recently reached the 100 blog followers milestone, I decided to use Rafflecopter to raffle off my two newest items! :)
