20 Super Spelling Centers Contest!

Contest Closed!  Winner will be announced soon.
A Scholastic red and white box was on my step when I got home from work today.  At first, I thought I had sent my March Scholastic order to my home address on accident.  Then it dawned on me that it was my new book!  Its release date was April 1st, but I guess it got shipped and out there a bit earlier than expected.  Scholastic sends each author 10 complimentary copies.  It seems like a lot, but I usually end up buying more of my own book to give out! 
My students are currently working with the Chicks and Eggs Center.  They love this center and I think it is perfect for spring. 
Now for the contest!  How would you like to win an autographed copy of my book?  It’s easy to enter!
1. Follow my blog, my TpT store (click here), and my Facebook fan page (click here).  Leave a comment below stating that you do so.
2. For a bonus entry repost a link to this contest on your blog or Facebook page.  
Good luck!  The contest ends on Friday, March 30th at midnight, the winner will be announced on Saturday, March 31st!  If you would rather just order yourself a copy, click {here} to order it from Amazon.com!

    Hi Erica,
    I follow your blog and TpT store and LOVE all of your amazing ideas! I teach in an inclusion class as well, as the special educator, and I have a group of eight students that I do heavy spelling intervention work with. Your book would come in handy, as I am always looking for more ways to keep my kids excited about spelling work. It would also be so neat to show them that the book was autographed by the author!!

📚 Back-to-school magic starts with the right read- 📚 Back-to-school magic starts with the right read-alouds!
These are my absolute favorite first-week books for building classroom community, easing those first-day jitters, and setting a positive tone from day one.
From Our Class is a Family, All Are Welcome, The Book of Rules, and so many more — these stories never miss.

Which one is a must-read in your classroom? Drop it in the comments and I will send you the links to my follow up activities!

How do you handle this situation? Do you put the How do you handle this situation?  Do you put the new student at the end of the alphabetical list or do you start over with a new one?
I know I am next for a new student (I have 24 kids and everyone else has 25), so I am holding off until the night before the first day.  I wish I could just wait but I like modeling where their bags and mail goes, both of which are set up using numbers.

True story: One year on the first day, I had a no show.  Then I was assigned a new student.  That student fit perfectly in the alphabetical order spot that was left.  I should have played the lottery or something.  What were the odds of that?!

5 things that are worth the money for your classro 5 things that are worth the money for your classroom!

1. A color printer.  We don’t have color printers at school and this has saved me from having to remember to print something at home. I brought in mine from home and then bought a new one for home. 
2. MacBookAir - This is my personal laptop.  I bring it home on weekends and holidays but for the most part I keep it at school.  I did need approval to get it on our district WiFi, which meant my phone could not also be on the WiFi.  There is a one device per teacher rule.
3. A lay-flat binder for my plan book, dismissal binder, and sub binder.  These save so much space and they are flexible. 
4. A laminator at school and a laminator at home.  It took me many years before I caved and bought another one but again, it saves me from remembering to laminate at home and I can also laminate during snack time and preps. Matte laminating is also worth the splurge.
5. My teacher toolbox! This toolbox has been with me for over 10 years, I just change out the labels to go with my decor theme.  Everything has a place and it keeps my desk organized.

🌻Sunflower Classroom Decor Room Tour🌻 This was my 🌻Sunflower Classroom Decor Room Tour🌻

This was my room decor before the pastels.  It worked well to incorporate my old farmhouse items (my decor theme before that) and as a bonus it made my Ukrainian students smile (the sunflower is the national flower of the Ukrainian).

Teacher Tip: Sort and store your printables for th Teacher Tip: Sort and store your printables for the upcoming weeks in a file tray above drawers for the days of the week.  This helps to keep you organized for the weeks ahead.
Save and use leftover colored copies as dividers. This makes them less bulky, than if you had used binder clips.
When you near the end of the week, pull the papers from the tray and sort into the weekday drawers and centers.
