Happy Easter and a Sale

Happy Easter!

Last night I uploaded some things to my new store so I'm having a sale at TPT (my new store) and TN.  All items in both stores are 15% off until Aprill 11th.

This week I will be creating new items and having a giveaway.  So be sure to follow both of my stores and my blog for more information.

Memory Books Uploaded

I have my End of Year Memory Books uploaded to Teachers Notebook.  Click on the picture below to check it out.

If you don't see your theme just leave a comment below and I will do my best to create one.  I would rather fill requests first then to create a theme that no one wants.

This week I will be off on spring break so I will be spending some time uploading more of my documents to Teachers Notebook. I know I have had requests to add more themed clip charts. So more will be coming soon.

Also, I'm thinking of adding of a TPT shop.  So stayed tune for more information on that.

Just added a Pizza! Pizza Fraction activity.  Your class will be hungry for pizza after this activity.  Just click on the picture above to download this activity from Teachers Notebook. ($1)

This past week has a busy one with a school board meeting to attend, report cards due, and my evaluation.  Now all that is left to do is pass out report cards on Monday. 

This week I plan to add more of my files from Teaching Oasis to my Teachers Notebook store (End of Year Memory Boos) as well as add some new stuff over the next couple of weeks. 

Looking forward to spring break.  Only 4 more days!  But who's counting?  Me!!!

End of Year Memory Books and corrected file

The last two weeks the weather in Chicago was beeen WONDERFUL!  It feels more like May than March.  The last few days we have even been in the 80's!  I  even had to cut my grass this weekend.  Needless to say I've been thinking of end of year ideas.  The last two years I have gotten many requests for some of my themed end of year memory books.  So this year I'm trying to think ahead and get a head start on creating new ones and uploading the ones I have completed already to my Teachers Notebook store.  (I should have that done in about 3-4 weeks)

Here is the ones I have created already that are uploaded to Teaching Oasis. So if anyone has any requests for additional themes let me know now so I can put that on the top of my list.  Unfortunately I will not be able to create a Seuss themed one due to copyrights.  But I'm open to any other suggestions.

If  you have purchased my Persuasive writing unit you will need to download a new updated copy at Teachers Notebook.  Here's the link to my product info if you are unsure.

I found that I had some missing information on Lesson 4 and a typo.  Just minor corrections made.  If you purchased this unit from Teaching Oasis just email me at sandra@teachingoasis.com   Sorry for the inconvience.

Hope everyone is enjoying the nice weather.

What a week

Last week we had a 4 day week.  Our 3rd- 5th graders are taking the ISAT so 2nd grade planned a field trip to the Musuem of Science and Industry in Chicago.  The students had a blast and it the musuem wasn't crowded at all. We almost had the whole place to ourselves.  But it was still just a crazy week.  So we did a lot of reviewing.  In reading I started a mini- Fairy Tale unit and trying to wrap up our unit in S.S.  As I was going through my books of Fairy Tales I came across my Three Little Pigs.  That got me thinking how I can incorportate S.S. and reading why not have students find the resources that the 3 Little Pigs used.  (natural, capital, and human resources).  Don't you just love it when you can combine subjects like that.

If your interested in this you can purchase it at my Teachers Notebook store for just a $1.  Click on the above picture for more information.

5 Below Find and Royal Readers

Last month our PTO gave each staff member a Visa $30 gift card. (Thanks! :) )  Well today I went into 5 Below for the first time. If you haven't heard of this store it's like a dollar store except everything is $5 or below- just like the name says.

My class has been needing some inside recess games and I hit the jack pot today.  Here's a picture of what I got.  Laminator on the left not included, but that is a great find too Walmart for $25 I believe I got that a few years ago and LOVE IT!

When you think of March you think Reading- Read Across America / Dr. Seuss.  I'm not a huge Seuss fan. (I know how un-American is that.)  Well a few years ago I came across Beth Newingham's Mystery Reader and gave that a try.  Only got 1 parent to read and it ended up being all teachers from my building.  Well this year I have more parent support so I'm trying this again but with a twist.  Royal Readers.  It will be just for March, but it could be any month.  I'm also doing  a short Fariy Tale unit this week so that ties right in very nicely.  Click on the picture to download this for only $1 at my Teachers Notebook store.

Check out Second in Line- She has a freebie she wants to give out, but is waiting for 50 followers.  Let's help out a fellow 2nd grade teacher.
