{2-For-Tuesday} When Inspiration Strikes…

August 12, 2014 by Sarah Plum(itallo) 2 Comments

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.

So there you have it — two awesome resources for 50% off, today only!

Happy shopping!

Five For Friday and a TpT Gift Certificate Giveaway!

August 1, 2014 by Sarah Plum(itallo) 5 Comments

Whew — that is a LOOOOOONG title. And I’m going to take a wild guess and say that your favorite part is that teensy-weensy little word “giveaway.” Yes, that’s right, there’s a TpT gift certificate to be had, just in time for the HUGE Back-to-School sale.

But first, it’s Friday, and I’m linking up with Kacey from Doodle Bugs Teaching for Five for Friday!

I have been working like a mad woman this week to finally fulfill all the requests from last school year and get more products up in my TpT store. Let me tell you, PowerPoint has never gotten such a workout! I’m still working on a few, including the debut of my year-long bundle of place value centers {Place Value Through the Year}. Be sure and follow my TpT store because there’s going to be a fan-exclusive freebie released through the “note to followers.”
My sweet, sweet cousin left on Tuesday. {Insert super sad face here.} I had such a wonderful time catching up with her, and I am so so SO happy she finally got to spend some quality time with my boys — including a mini-photo shoot by the river. Family time truly is important, and I feel blessed to have the opportunity to soak it up during the summer months.
Speaking of family… my INCREDIBLE {seriously, y’all, they are the best} in-laws have invited us to come to the beach with them and some of our other NY family. The best part about this — other than seeing them after 8 months! — is that the beach is Ocean City, MD! You might remember me talking about it before, but if you don’t, my heart belongs to Ocean City in ways that are hard to express! I look forward to spending my last few days off {we get back and then I immediately have inservice days} in such a beautiful place with those that I love.
I have decided to get rid of my clip-chart! Stop. the. world. I’ve never been a huge fan {for me, personally; I know they work for others and that’s totally okay} of using them in my classroom, but I have had to as a part of grade-level collaboration. This year I’m trying something different, and I cannot wait to share with you what it is. I’m so excited I almost want to spill the beans now… almost. ðŸ˜‰
I am SO excited to be giving away a $10 TpT gift certificate for you to use during the big sale, as well as the first installment of {Place Value Through the Year}, the Back-to-School edition. Enter using the options below, and be sure to share with your friends — that way they can enter, and you can earn more entries for spreading the word! I so look forward to giving one lucky winner some extra spending money to buy those awesome items on their TpT wishlist! Hurry and enter, it’s a quick one — the giveaway ends when the clock strikes 12 on Sunday night!
