I am so excited, my coworker, Janine just opened up her TpT shop last night!!!  She and I wrote the Words of the Week packets, together.  I hope you follow her store. 
Here is an apple freebie from Janine’s store.  I am using it this week for literacy centers.
Check out more cute and educational freebies!

I plan on posting an apple graphtivity (craft plus graph plus activity), I just don’t have it ready yet.  Follow my TpT store for updates. 

I tested out my Words of the Week packet! So far the kiddos love it!

I will be adding these to the Words of the Week packet at soon as I can!  For now, grab this free sample by clicking below.

I decided I needed more consistency in my Writer’s Workshop program.  So this year, I am utilizing Deanna Jump and Deedee Will‘s Writing Through the Year.  I have all eight units and I am starting with unit one. 

Other resources used this week:

The sand center above is free on my blog, just click the image above.

I hope everyone is getting back into the swing of school!   I am linking up these plans with my pal Deedee.

  2. Thanks for all the awesome freebies, I appreciate it!
    We use Engage/Eureka, too for our on-grade-level lessons and then I pull extra supports for math intervention. These freebies will help my students so much! Thank you again 🙂
