Make Your Masterpiece!

Time again to link up with the fabulous ladies hosting the TPT Sellers Challenge!!  This week it was to create your masterpiece!

Now, this masterpiece has been a MAJOR work in progress!  For those of you who TPT, you will know what I mean.  I remember last summer just starting on TPT, and seeing all of these people with bundles of resources, and it was overwhelming to think that I will NEVER get to that point. 

However, a YEAR of hard work later, and some help from Ashley from Schroeder Shenanigans in Second, and Gina from All thing Algebra, I figured out how to bundle ALL of my 6th grade math resources into ONE place!

For those of you that have done this, you know how much works goes into just creating a bundle because the file sizes have to be just right, everything needs to be in ONE PLACE, and you want everything to be perfect!  I even had the wonderful Jill edit it all for me to make sure it was perfect!

Here is my MASTERPIECE! OVER 60 activities, and HUNDREDS of pages!   

There is a LOT of different materials in this bundle that are included for a YEARS worth of classroom instruction!

 I love tying in real world examples whenever I can, so these activities are GREAT for that!

 ALL of the task cards included are WORD PROBLEMS.  These are GREAT for a lot of things!  

-Test Prep

-Morning Work (you can set it up to do one sheet of task cards a week!)

-Interactive Notebook Practice

-Cooperative Learning-These DEFINITELY get your kids talking and discussing math!

-Math Centers

There are color by answer sheets in the bundle which make GREAT activities for early finishers, homework, no prep sub plans, etc!!  

There are other activities included for fun math centers, early finishers, practice, etc.

ALL of the 6th Grade Common Core domains are covered.  There are enough activities for each one to do at least ONE activity per week ALL year long!

I have included homework strips for Ratios & Proportions and Number Systems.  These work GREAT for making fewer copies in the classroom.  This year I will also be revamping my homework, so any new materials I add will be given to you at NO EXTRA COST if you already own my Mega Bundle!

 I also have holiday math activities for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.  There are enough activities to do ONE PER DAY the week leading up to the holiday!  Perfect educational activities to keep your kids busy and engaged during those tough weeks!

Want to know EVERYTHING that is included???   Check out the lists below! :)

  

When people purchase the bundle, they will be receiving over $60.00 off of all of the resources, plus access to any NEW resources that I create for FREE.  Think of it as a lifetime of resources for ONE great price!

Also, purchasers will be notified when any new products have been added. :)

TPT Seller's Challenge: Dare to Dream!

Hooray!  Time to link up with some awesome ladies for their Teachers Pay Teacher's Seller Challenge (#TPTSellerChallenge).  

This week the theme was Dare to Dream:

This is a GREAT theme for the week, because as TPT-ers, we ALL have dreams, which is why we started, right?

So, here are mine:

 

1.  Financially stable is a biggie.  I am married to another teacher, so it seems like we are ALWAYS trying to make ends meet--not sure who else out there is with me on that one.  However, TPT has been a HUGE blessing so far, so the end goal would be able for me to stay at home with my son and TPT full time!

2.  If you read my blog, you know that I am the proud mom to a micropreemie!  25 weeker!  We would love to have another baby, but we are SOOOO scared of what could happen again.  So, once we get to be more finacially stable I would love to either try again OR adopt!

3.  My hubby and I really want a BOAT!  We live near a ton of water, so having a boat would be a BLAST!!!!!

4.  So, we are obsessed with the show "Tiny House Nation", and we would LOVE to get a house like that!!!  Maybe not to live in ALL of the time, but I would love to put it on some private land in the middle of the woods/mountains, just enjoy nature and RELAX!

What about YOUR dare to dream?!?

July Currently

Well, I haven't been to currently with my Currently's with Farley from Oh Boy, 4th Grade, so I suppose summer time is as good of time as any to get back in the game, right? :)

Listening: Well, since I am working on my Currently everyone else around me is watching "Big Bang Theory", so that is in the background. :)

Loving:  I'm sure my loving is the SAME as everyone elses---who does NOT love summer (I guess unless you're in the Southern Hemisphere?).

Thinking:  Back to School!  I know---sad, but when I spend my day relaxing on Instagram and seeing everyone's Target Dollar Spot photos, I can't help but get a little excited. 

Wanting:  So, every summer I spend a majority of it in Michigan visiting my family and my husbands family.  I swear the time just FLIES by which STINKS.  Blah.

Needing:  A GOOD NIGHT SLEEP!!!!  When you're traveling all summer with a two year old--that makes it TOUGH especially when they are throwing tantrums at night.  I'm actually surprised we didn't get kicked out of the hotel we stayed at on the way to Michigan.  We have now become THOSE people.  Right now we have been sharing a room with our son for the past week and a half, and he has woken up almost

every

single

night.

So, any mommies or daddies out there that have tried and true tips, please leave them in the comments! :) I'd love to hear 'em!

My All Star: I would have to say determination.  I am definitely the kind of person that once I set my mind to it, I do it.  Such as run a marathon, TPT, etc.

Well, I'm off to read what y'all are up to! :)
