Top 3 Wishlisted Items!

November 28, 2015 By fancyfreein4th

Today I am linking up with the talented Jen from Teaching in the Tongass to share the top 3 wishlisted things in my Teachers Pay Teachers Store because of the sitewide TpT sale starting MONDAY!!!! Everything in my store will be 20% off and use the checkout code SMILE to get an extra 8% off!

 Today I am sharing the top wishlisted Winter items that people have been adding to their wishlists, so check them out:

 
Teaching Prime Factorization is a Winter skill in my classroom. We are trudging along through double digit multiplication and long division when factoring comes up. I love having my kids show what they know with this fun and festive math craftivity, Christmas Factor Trees. Included in this set are posters, a foldable and other activities that teach, and reteach this skill. There is also a game that is great for center work. I plan on using these during my sub day this coming week! 
The second most wishlisted item is my newest product, Winter Grams!

 This past summer, I made Summer Grams and this is the sequel to that! This is a great activity for your kiddos to share all of the fun activities, family traditions and their most special memories from what they did over their Winter Break.  It is in an Instagram format, which your students will go gaga over, and it makes an adorable bulletin board! It combines drawing and writing and I even have my kids present it to get a little public speaking standards covered as well.

Last but not least is one of my most favorite persuasive writing activities, Not my Gumdrop Buttons.  This is a fun writing activity that teaches the art of persuasion as well as perspective. 

 
This prompt and the resources ask the class to write from the perspective of the a gingerbread cookie who is
persuasively asking Santa (or a kid) to not eat them as a midnight
snack. The students will eat this persuasive writing activity up. There is a
lot of ELL and hesitant writer support embedded in this pack.  The class always comes up with hilarious ways to save themselves. Your hesitant writers will be supported and your gifted writers will have freedom to spin their creative wheels.
Join in the fun and link up with us all to share what shines in your store!

There’s so much advice I would tell first year- There’s so much advice I would tell first year- teacher-me…. Especially after the last (almost) 2 years of teaching; barely afloat. This year is so hard. I have to stop regularly and tell my student teacher, “it’s never been like this”. But to my core, it’s always been- children first, relationships first, or nothing else matters. Though this year is tough in new ways, there’s still much hope and laughter each day. Thanks @eveleon26 for reminding me of my first, wonderful year of teaching- so I can bring that energy, excitement each day- no matter the circumstance. For all of my teacher friends out there, I see you- I know it’s hard- and I’m grateful for you. (P.S-it’s almost winter break, you got this!) #tiredteacher #cleareyesfullheartscantlose
