Happy New Year!

New year, New Goals!

Everyone is setting new year resolutions! I guess you could say that I have one too! I have spend my break catching up on planning, and getting my self all situated for the rest of the year, well the best I can anyway! Although, I will be starting my masters program, my goal is to be more faithful to my blog! I know I have a very small following. I can only hope that will eventually change! In order for it to change, I have to make it more vibrant and give readers more of an attraction to read!

So here we got 2014!!! I have created so many goodies that I cannot wait to share! I have so many great ideas for the upcoming quarter that I also cannot wait to share! So keep checking back, because I promise there will be new goodies for your viewing!


As you know, the midwest, as well as much of the US has been hit with the arctic blast! This has resulted in my winter break being extended 2 extra days! YAY! (not) I will not be saying YAY at the end of the year when we are making these days up! But I have been extra productive and have great activities to share!

So to kick off the NEW YEAR! I want to share with you 2 winter reading activity packs that fit in perfectly with the cold snowy weather!

     

Both of these activity packs are common core aligned! They include Story maps:

 

Senses:

Vocabulary

 

Writing:

 

 And More!

Check these items out on my TPT store! The books are not included! But they are great reads to engage students!

Hope everyone is staying warm!!

Oh My,

Has it already been a month since my last post?! For that I apologize, but as you teachers know, when districts start implementing new curriculum and new teaching models, things get hectic and time gets away from you! In the last month I have wrapped up Quarter 1, implemented a new writing unit, had conferences, and have been coaching basketball! So YES I have been busy!!

However, I have NOT forgotten about this! As we are coming to the end of introducing and teaching double digit and triple digit addition and subtraction with and without regrouping, some days I feel students got! Then sometimes I can hep but feel that they are clueless sometimes! But that is ok because we WILL be continue practicing this for the rest of the year, and they WILL get it by the end of the year.... I hope!

But in honor of the tricking addition and subtraction I am sharing some FREEBIES! These Freebies are glimpses of larger collections that I have in my TPT store! SO take a look and let me know what you think! I am always up for suggestions on how to improve or new ideas and approaches! So enjoy!

FREEBIES!

Have a Wonderful Halloween!! More Fun activities coming soon!!!
