 I love a good TpT sale! It seriously makes me so happy. So, get ready for a good one!!

I plan to use this for Read Across America Day to create a display in the hallway :)

From the Teacher Next Door

We've been practicing this in our mini-lessons, but it's so hard to find good resources! I've been looking and looking, so I can't wait to make this new purchase! 

I have a few other things on my Wish List, but it's so hard to choose!! What's on your wishlist? 

I've been also working hard on my own store. (Click the link to visit!) There are so many products I have in the works, I find myself with adhd trying to finish them all at once. So, I picked one on which to focus, and I'm pretty happy with the results! 

My Cinderella set on TpT is pretty popular, and I love Little Red Riding Hood just as much. So, I decided to work on another set for my fairy tales/fables unit. The main focus on my unit is comparing and contrasting literature from different cultures, but I also included RL 1, 2, 3, and 6 to review these for my students. Check it out and see if you think it may be helpful for you and your students.

AND... I said GIVEAWAY! So, if you are one of the first two people to comment on this post with your name AND email address, I'll send you the set for FREE!! But, make sure to include your email address!`

Back to Blogging!

In more ways than 1! I have been really absent on blogging this year. For some reason, this school year has been really tough for me. The pressure is really getting to me. Anyone else feeling this way?

So, I'm back blogging to talk about blogging. I just resumed using Kid Blog with my class. In past years I've started it much earlier, but my class this year just didn't seem ready. They really struggle to compose a well-written reading response, and I was not ready to throw technology into the mix (for my sanity and theirs).

Do you use blogging in your classroom? How do you manage it? Do your kids buy into the process? What works for you? What doesn't?
