Sailing Through Spring! A Sale AND A Giveaway!

Soooo - Spring!? Yeah, I am at the end of summer here in Australia. We have just had a very hot and humid week, and I am HANGING for Autumn. Autumn is my favourite month! I have 2 Autumn babies and I just love that a 'bad' Autumn day here, swings back to Summer and is usually warm and dry. A bad Spring day, on the other hand, will swing back to Winter and be cold and miserable. BUT my blog-hopping friends are SUPER happy to be heading into THEIR Spring and have the idea of a summer break already on their minds, I am sure!

We decided we would give you a little blog-hop of teacher tips for getting through Spring with ease! And teachers here in Australia will love these ideas for the beginning of the school year too!

A tip I have for helping you cruise through the last (or first) months of school, is this little gem of a behaviour management strategy - Self Control Bubbles! You can find it FREE at TpT in the store of Lauren, a fellow Aussie seller! Click on the image below to find it!

The idea is that you blow some bubbles in front of your students and let them go crazy, popping them all over the place. And on a second turn, they must practice self control and not reach out to touch or play with the bubbles at all. SUCH a clever idea for getting kids to FEEL self control! I am going to use my mega bubble blower machine to get some serious bubble time!

I have made a fun "Bubbles of Self Control" take home note that you can award students in your class that are demonstrating good self control in the days after this lesson. Just click on the image below to grab it from Google Drive. 

If you need more Take Home Notes, try this product in my store "Star of the Day and So Much More" - I have ALMOST finished an upgrade to this product, it will double in size at least. If you buy it during the sale, you will be able to get the new additions for free in the next week or so!

Whiel y ou are here, I will show you a couple more resources I am super excited about. There is a HUGE TpT sale going on soon, and you may want to take advantage and get 28% off these!

My "5 L's For Learning" will help you introduce and encourage behaviours for learning on the mat - Look, Listen, Lips, Legs and Lap. Find it on my store on sale now!

My latest collaboration with Deanna Jump is "Bump Jump and Build". Lots of teachers had emailed Deanna wanting some "Bump and Jumps" with a phonics theme - so here they are! We made these slightly different, to keep your little ones on their toes!

Another couple of resources that are very close to my heart. These ones have been in the making for 10 years. It has taken me that long to foster the skills to put together these packs, and I had various parts of them, as ideas in my mind a decade ago. And people say I move fast. If only they knew!!

SO happy to have them complete.  One is my "Book of Blends Mega Pack". 

And "Blends Bonanza" - both perfect for when you are ready to MOVE ON from cvc!

Have a look around the blogs of some of my blogging pals and see what tips they can give you for helping you sail through Spring!

A Pot of Gold

Hi friends! I wanted to share a couple of new things with you, and some free files that you might be able to use to help celebrate St Patrick's Day in your classroom. 

Firstly, I have added a new Write'n' Wipe file to my first Mega Pack of cards. 

This one, "Pot of Gold" will help your students practice forward number counting sequences between 1 and 100. 

You can find this file, sold separately, by clicking on the image below:

I also added a set of Spring themed write'n'wipe cards to help with learning ccvc and cvcc words. The flower visuals will help your students understand 4 letters, 3 parts (or chunks) of the word! 

Find this file by clicking on the image below:

Or if you have the Mega Pack, you can download the new additions by going to your My Purchases tab! 

Here is a simple but FUN free game you can make for your students. It is easily differentiated to cater for multiple ability groups in your classroom. 

1. Students can count and match yellow pom-poms (coins) to each pot

2. Students can roll 2 dice, find the total, retrieve the matching card and THEN count out the matching "coins"

3. Students can take a card and then put the number of coins on the card that will add with the numeral to make a total of ten or twenty

Download the FREE game templates, by clicking on the image below:

And it includes a bonus worksheet too!

I used some FUN and FABULOUS clipart from 2 Super Teachers to make this file. If you have not seen their blog, hop right over NOW! These 2 sweet ladies came on my radar because of the gorgeous feedback they consistently left me, and encouraging sweet messages and comments they made on my posts and social media. Thank you '2 Super Teachers' for the support and encouragement you have shown me - you rock! AND I adore your clipart! 

Where would we be without a Scrappy Coloring Sheet to celebrate St. Patricks day!? Grab one from google drive by clicking on the image below!

Thanks for stopping by my friends!

Write and Wipe Center

I love Write and Wipe Cards in my classroom! They make PERFECT center and small-group-rotation activities and they are always a HIT with my students! 

They are also fabulous for FAST FINISHERS and really are a 'task card' equivalent for the Kinder and First Grade classroom!

I have just made some poster cards to help you create a center in your classroom. I like to have permanent corner of my room set up with Write'n'Wipe cards at the ready! Store them in a pocket chart, shoe organiser or in little plastic tubs. Include a tub of markers and cleaners and you are all set. 

A good idea is to also include some clipboards, pencils and paper or worksheets. Ask students to RECORD some of the learning that took place on their cards BEFORE they WIPE it all away! 

Write and Wipe cards can cover just about ANY skill or content area in your program! You can also prepare additional cards easily, by just laminating page from a textbook or worksheets. I did this in my first year of teaching, when my budget was minuscule! 

You can use these posters to introduce and reinforce the procedures you would like your students to follow when they are in the Write'n'Wipe Center. I have also included BLANK versions of each poster, so you can create your own rules!

Write'n'Wipe is a great activity to teach your students INDEPENDENCE, so some basic rules will be a great addition to your classroom structure and management. It will help foster that independence that you are aiming for!

You can find the posters in my TpT store by clicking on the image below:

And these new 'Tracing Line' cards. 

I have also listed a Mega Pack, that includes both these new files! It also has 6 of our most favourite sets of cards and will include my next 4 'write'n'wipe' packets! It is on sale now and you can find it by clicking on the image below: 

Thank you so much for stopping by friends!
