{Week 2} BTS in a FLASH! Curriculum Must Haves

August 2, 2015 By fancyfreein4th




This week’s link up focuses on Curriculum! There are so many wonderful products out there in TpT land and in the midst of the TpT Back to School Sale, we wanted to showcase some of the must haves that we cannot live without!

 **Oh and there is a big giveaway at the bottom of the post, so keep reading!**
Math Problem of the Week is one of my products that is tried and true and I use it every year….
I love this product because it PERFECT for common core and getting students to become Problem Solvers who Persevere!   I designed the Problem of the Week to be an in class activity rather than an enrichment handout that goes home.  This encourages the students to critically solve these on their own, or with a partner/group, rather than take it home and have a parent or sibling help.  In a nutshell there are 28 problems that span the different CCSS Math strands and ask the students to critically think, solve the problem using various methods and then prove their answer in numbers, pictures and words.  

As for a product that I CANNOT live without, it has to be Jivey’s Mentor Sentences!


I have not been shy about how much I ADORE Jivey’s Mentor Sentences.  Maybe after seeing me post and IG about it for the millionth time you will check it out? I promise, implementing Mentor Sentences in your class will change the way you teach DO grammar! Jivey has an awesome resource page on her blog that walks you through how to get started using these in your classroom. There are videos and blog post from other amazing teachers that use them too!

Lastly, for what is on my wishlist and what I am going to scoop up during the TpT BTS Sale is from Mary from Teaching With a Mountainview. She creates the most amazing task cards.  The big item on my wishlist for this year is her Reading Skills Task Card Bundle. I work at an inner city school and my classroom is full of diverse learners. Some of the kids in my class read at a first grade level. I work tirelessly throughout the year to bring them up as much as I can.  You can often times find me working through recess and lunch.  During the 2nd trimester I lead a small intervention group 3 days a week in the mornings and these task cards will be a great addition to that, as well as added into my everyday literacy centers.  

     You can join in all week too to share your Curriculum Must Haves! Simply drag this picture into powerpoint (or whatever you feel comfortable with) and share your 3 Curriculum Must Have images on the polaroid below Top Teacher Faves and link up. You can find the flashes here.
