{2-For-Tuesday} When Inspiration Strikes…

I’m linking up today for the first time with the Teaching Tribune for 2-for-Tuesday! I’m putting two resources 50% off for today only.

Have you ever been so inspired you just can’t sleep until you’ve completed your project? Well, that happens to me A LOT. Way more than I’d like to admit! It happened to me tonight when Krista Wallden {of Creative Clips} posted these new Rock Star Kids:

I was instantly inspired. I mean to tell you my brain was FLOODED with ideas.

And so this was born – We Will Rock You {Activities for a New Year}:

Seriously. Seriously. I was over the moon!

This resource is PERFECT to supplement your first week routines and procedures — and includes options and differentiated activities that truly can be used from Kindergarten through Fifth. I’ve also included what seems to now be a recurring theme in my packs — fun reward bracelets!

Why yes, that *is* a craftivity that looks just like a CD case. You can use the included writing prompts underneath the CD, or customize your own with the blank template! {Excuse the Instagram photo — I’m headed out to training this morning and the light wasn’t there since it’s still dark out!}

To continue with the Back-to-School theme, my second item for 50% off is my Place Value Through the Year: Back-to-School edition. I haven’t blogged about this yet, but I will at-length soon — once my room is setup and you can see the dedicated center. SO MUCH love was put into this, though, because place value is near and dear to my heart!

This includes FIVE fully-differentiated centers with recording sheets and extension options. The centers will remain the same in future editions so that students do not have to relearn procedures or a new game! What will change is the level of difficulty, and of course the theme! It’s a great way to keep students excited and engaged about math.
