What's In Your Cart? Linky




I am linking up with Speech Room News to share some of my purchases from the Teacher Appreciation TpT Sale.  I was super excited to purchase The Moffatt Girls, I Can Read! No Prep Packet.  My kindergarten students will benefit tremendously and increase fluency while reading simple sentences with this incredible resource.  I also purchased Sherri Caballero's Alphabet Phonics Chant.  This resource includes 60 total pages in PowerPoint slides that help reinforce letter/sound correspondence.  Not only will my visual learners be learning, but my auditory and kinesthetic learners will also be engaged with this resource.


I also purchased Sound Off! Sound Sorts for Phonemic Awareness by Kim Adsit and Megan Merrell.  This pack was created to help students develop phonemic awareness with picture sorts.  The picture sorts in this resource include beginning, middle and ending sounds.
Finally, I purchased Word Sorts (Kindergarten Edition) by Lori Rosenburg- Teaching with Love and Laughter.  This resource includes 42 pages of spelling pattern word sorts essential for kindergarten students.
 

Can you tell that I am wanting to strengthen my 90 minute reading block?  I am so excited to get these resources printed and ready to go for my incoming kindergarteners.

Endless Possibilities,
Stephanie

Teacher Appreciation Giveaway Blog Hop!



I am so excited to be involved with this great giveaway hosted by Amy over at Teaching in Blue Jeans.  This is a great way to see how some of our top selling products are used in our classrooms.  Most importantly, you will get a chance to win some of these great products!  It's our gift to you for Teacher Appreciation week.  You might even pick up a few freebies along the way!
I chose my Whole Class Writing Journal Covers for this post.  These have been a serious life saver at times.  I use them in my writing station during my 90-minute block.  I always have a writing activity that is based on whatever topic/book we are reading that week but these are a must-have in my station.  If a student finishes their activity early, they grab one of these and start writing!  Also, (to be brutally honest) these come in handy when you are crunched for time and want an activity the students know how to complete with little guidance.
In this packet are over 20 different writing journal covers.  Each one has a different topic and a writing prompt on the cover.  You just print the cover, add grade appropriate writing paper and bind them.  You can comb bind them, staple them, or use metal rings to make books.  
Another great thing about these books is that as the class fills them up you can save them back to give out as end of the year mementos.  They get to take home a book that has writing from each of their classmates!

Don't forget to enter the rafflecopter below for a chance to win this product along with a ton of other best sellers!
