Summer Vacation Pop Up Book
Summer Vacation Pop Up Book
This is a great activity to have your students work on the last full week of school. It usually takes my students a full week to complete the six modes of travel.
My students love to pretend they are in a canoe headed for an indian village and their family's teepee.
They also like to pretend they are flying in a space ship to spend the summer on the moon.
Traveling on a train across country to see the many sites this country has to offer is another fun way to spend the summer.
Only $1.50 for this fun filled pack of six modes of transportation. Your students will LOVE to use their creativity in this writing adventure.
Enjoy!
Back to School the Olympic Way!
The first thing I like to do when school starts is assess my students to see how much they remember from last year. That’s why I came up with these quick assessments to easily check where my students are. Some may only be able to tell me which letter comes before or after in the alphabet, while others will tell me what a digraph is.
These forms are also helpful to review and get students back into the groove of school.
Included you will find 10 language arts pages covering everything from the alphabet, short and long vowels, digraphs, compound words, and more.
You will also receive 10 math pages that begin with counting to 20, 50, and 100 and move into adding single and double digit numbers then subtracting single and double digit numbers. Neither have regrouping.
I’ve also included two writing prompts given in a variety of formats depending on what level you teach.

Erin Condren Lesson Planner 2016
I've been printing my lesson plans digitally for a couple of years now but this year I just couldn't resist the Erin Condren excitement!!
While the digital lesson plans worked well there is something to be said for writing out your lesson plans. On the digital plans I had to white out things when they didn't work out but with hand written plans I can erase, fix and move on.
So let me tell you about my experience! First I liked how I could track my planner since I was so excited for its delivery. It ended up arriving one day earlier than originally expected. Woot Woot.
Next I like the packaging; the box, the tissue paper, the "enjoy" sticker, etc. It was like Christmas morning just opening it up.
Then there is was! (You might have to be a teacher to truly appreciate the excitement of seeing your planner for the first time). I must not have filled out something to get it engraved because mine doesn't have my name on the front cover... that's okay... next time.
Isn't it pretty??!!! I can't wait to begin filling it in.
Do you like the electronic planners or the paper planners?

Summer Reading
Getting my class ready for summer reading with a fun bubblegum activity I found from Lori Evans. Students read until the flavor of their gum is gone. Then they record their reading by coloring one of the gum balls in their booklet. Such a great way to keep kids reading all summer long!!
