FIVE for FRIDAY Linky

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!
Today is my FIRST official day of summer vacation!  After NINE workdays after the students last day on June 6, I am finally ready to celebrate!!  What better way to celebrate than to link up with Doodle Bugs!

So without further adieu:

ONE  

As mentioned above I am OFFICIALLY on summer vacation!!!  HOORAY!!!  Let the rest and relaxation begin!!!

TWO

Remember I mentioned summer???  Well, this is where I am headed today!!!  The beach!!! :)

THREE

On Monday we head home to Michigan for the first time since Baby B was born!  Now, if you've read about me you know last summer was spent in the NICU, so we missed going home last year, so we are SUPER excited to go this year!!  However, it is a 13 hour drive, and we have never done it with an 11 month old.  We really want to do it in one day...soooooooo, any tips/suggestions (well wishes, prayers...ha ha) would be appreciated from those of you with experience in that department, please feel free to leave them in the comment section! :)  I welcome ALL comments.

FOUR

Today is the last day I am reminding you all out there in the blog world, if you haven't followed me yet on Facebook, Teachers Pay Teachers, or Bloglovin' please do, because this week at some point I am putting my ENTIRE The Best Christmas Pageant Ever unit on Teachers Pay Teachers for FREE for a 4 hour window. I will announce it ahead of time, but the only way you will know is if you are following me.

FIVE

Did I mention that it's summer vacation?!?! :)

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!!!!!

TTT AND THROW BACK THURSDAY Linky

Happy Thursday!!!
Today I am linking up TWICE because I think that the two links go hand in hand. :)  First off, I am linking with The Teaching Tribune for TTT (Teacher Tip Thursday).

So...my teacher tip this week is:

What better way to preface my tip than by participating in a good ol' Throw Back Thursday??

So, I would like to throw it back to the post that started it all. :)

Please click on the below image to go back to my first post. :)

Remember, if you haven't followed me yet either by TPT, Bloglovin', or Facebook, please do so for a GIVEAWAY sometime this week!!!! :)

Worksheet Wednesday Linky--FREEBIE and GIVEAWAY!!

WOAH!  It's hard to believe that it's already Wednesday, and there is ONE MORE workday that stands between ME and SUMMER!!!!!!!!  YAHOO!!!!!

It's Wednesday, and you know what that means!!  WORKSHEET WEDNESDAY!  Better yet---FREE worksheet Wednesday!

I'm linking up again with The Teaching Tribune again today:

This week I have not only a FREE ELA worksheet, but also a giveaway (my VERY first!) to go along with it!!!

I finally put the finishing touches on my The Best Christmas Pageant Ever unit this week!!  Hooray!!!  So...today and today only I am offering the FINAL test for free!  Just click on the picture above to get the freebie!

This unit as whole contains multiple text based comprehension questions for all 7 chapters.  It also contains discussion question cards featuring the same questions as the worksheets for all 7 chapters for students to use in literature circles, guided reading, or group work if you don't want the questions in worksheet form.  I have also included a biopoem project and of course the freebie today-the final comprehension test.

Sooo...since this is a Christmas themed printable, and it's June, I figured--Christmas is the season for giving, so I will be giving this unit away for FREE!!!

All you need to make sure that you do is either

1.  Follow me on Facebook

2.  AND/OR follow me on Bloglovin'

3. AND/OR follow me on my TPT store

If you're feeling the "holiday spirit" you can follow me on all 3. :)

At some point between NOW and next Worksheet Wednesday, I will be placing this unit in my TPT Store for FREE for a 4 hour window (don't worry it won't be during the nighttime hours ;)).  I will be putting out a Facebook notice, an e-mail to my TPT followers, and a temporary blog post that the unit is UP and ready to GO!

This is a great book for grades 3-5, and even if you have never read it before, a FREE UNIT is a GREAT reason to start!!!!

I can't wait to meet more bloggers and teacher friends out there!!!!

Two for Tuesday-50% off 2 TPT items!

Happy Tuesday!!

Again, I really enjoyed meeting more bloggers yesterday!  This is such a great link up!!
Today, I am linking up again with The Teaching Tribune for their Summer Bloggin' Series. Today it's TWO FOR TUESDAY!!!!!

This week I am putting two different items on sale at my TPT store this week than last week.

Click on the picture above to link directly to my TPT store. 

One item is one of my BEST sellers!!!  It's my Bud, Not Buddy Project Based Learning Activity project.  I LOVE this one!  I have used it in my class EVERY year I have read the novel (which is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE by the way!!!).  It is the perfect project to end the novel instead of a test.  It allows the students to literally DRIVE the lesson.  They get to pick what project they want to do, how they want to do it, and they work independently with each other to complete the project with only teacher supervision.  It's PERFECT for the 21st Century classroom!!!

The second item is the COMPLETE SET of activities that I gave a sneak peek of last week for free!  The Early Bird Gets the Worm is a complete activity which gets students working with fractions on a line plot...which my class this year had a REALLY hard time with.

I hope that you enjoy both activities this week---and if you purchase both activities it's only a $3.00 total with them half off!!!! :)

Thank you again today for taking the time to visit me, perhaps follow me, and even possibly purchase from me.  I truly appreciate anyone who takes the time out of their day to see what I have to say. :)

HAPPY TUESDAY!!!!!!

 

Monday Made It AND Meet Me Linky

Happy Monday!!
I had SO MUCH fun last week breaking out on the blogging scene, meeting new people!  I truly appreciate everyone who took the time to comment on a post, download a TPT freebie or paid item, and follow me on Bloglovin' or TPT!!!  It means the WORLD to me!!!

Today I am linking up TWICE today!!! :)  First, I am linking up with The Teaching Tribune again for their Summer Bloggin' Series:

 I really enjoyed "meeting" so many of you last week, and I am super excited to get to know even more of you this week!!! :)

I can't wait to meet even more of  you this week!!! :)

I am also linking up with Tara from Fourth Grade Frolics for her Monday Made It (for the first time!):

  I don't think that I am NEARLY as crafty as almost everyone out there, BUT I was really happy with how this turned out!  I wish that I could take credit for it as an original idea, but one of my friends posted this on Instagram...her daughter made something similar in daycare.  I looked all over, and couldn't find an original source to credit. :(  So--here is how I tried to make it my own---I made a cute template:

Then did the rest of the artwork with our sons Superhero foot (and I had to print it in black and white because we ran out of magenta ink...grrrr)! :)

I put the template on my TPT for free in case anyone wants to download it and save it for next year, just click on the template to take you to the direct freebie link.  Don't worry!  I took off the 2014. :)

I cannot wait to meet more blogger friends this week!!!!!! I'll be in Google Chromebook training all day today, but if you leave a comment I WILL comment back today.  I also can't wait to check out other blogs today, too!!!

HAPPY MONDAY!

Souped-Up Saturday Linky **FREEBIES**

Happy "Souped-Up" Saturday!!!!

This is my very first linky party aimed at making sure every Saturday I soup-up my freebies page with at LEAST a one page freebie. :)

If you would also like to participate, please use the following button, and link back to this post, please:

My goal is to meet more of the bloggers out there, and I can't wait to visit any pages that choose to link up today. :)  Especially if you're a newbie like I am, it's also a great way to be sure to get your freebies page something that people would like to visit.

Today, my freebie is FINALLY something that I plan to use in middle school!  It's a "Meet Me" questionnaire that I plan to have them do FIRST thing in the morning on the first day.  It's both a get to know them activity, and it's also going to be helpful to me to see which students I have certain things in common with, what they feel their strength and weakness is as far as subjects, and also to get their opinion on what rewards they will want to work hard for (since I still am stuck in an elementary mentality when it comes to that!!).

Click the above cover to be linked to my TPT store to download this for free!!!! :)

Also, last year my class really also struggled with fractions of a set in real world math problems, so I created this to help reinforce the topic:

Again, please link on the cover to go straight to my TPT store to download. :) I hope that you enjoy, and please don't forget to link up with me today, please!  I'm very excited to check out some new blogs, meet new teachers, and check out some freebies! :)
