Get Ready for Back to School

I simply can’t believe that it is already July 8th!  This summer is FLYING by! 

I have been enjoying my summer with friends & family! 

forblog

In addition to all of the fun I’ve been having, I have also been working on things for next year.  I am so excited for my new class and new curriculum.  But, I know that it is going to be A LOT at the beginning of the year.  In order to make my life a little easier in August, I created two packs that my kiddos will enjoy!

If any of you have either of these:

mainideanonfictionmainideawinter

You will love my Back to School Themed Main Idea Pack!

Slide1

Slide2

Slide3

Slide4

I also have another Back to School Pack that I just finished up!

Slide1

This pack is just what you need to spice up how you develop, teach, or review your expectations for your classroom's rules and procedures!  It will also help in building your classroom community! 
Your kiddos will "try on" one of the characters shoes by reading a scenario that presents a problem based around a rule, procedure, or building a classroom community. You can have your kiddos discuss and come up with solutions as a whole group, small group, or in partners.  The great thing is that this pack can be differentiated to fit the needs of a range of grades.  If you teacher younger grades, you could project the scenario on the board, read it to the kiddos, and discuss as a whole group.  If you teach the older grades this could be more student-run.  Let me show you some pictures!

You have a chance to win these packs! 

Make sure you follow me on Facebook & Bloglovin’

Once you have followed both, leave your email address below in a comment.  I will randomly pick 2 winners for each pack on Tuesday, July 8th at 5 PM EST.

Thanks for swinging by!
