Superhero Product Linky

Hey friends! 

Did you hear? TPT is having a sale this week! "Teachers are superheroes"! We thought we would link up with Fifth in the Middle to each share a "heroic" product that has helped teachers!!

Ashley's Heroic Product:

I love this product! These are simple inferencing task cards. On each card there is a QR code that the student scans afterwards to check if they were correct! My students loved being able to check themselves. It created a whole new level of engagement in my classroom! I set these up as a station so that there was only 3-4 kids at a time using the cards and the tablets. 

I used the inferencing poster to help teach and review what an inference was. I then left it projected for them to refer to! You could even print 4-6 to a sheet and have them glue it in their notebooks. I also included a recording sheet for their answers. You could use this or even have them respond in their notebooks. 

Here is some feedback from other teachers about using this product in their classroom!

I hope you find this product useful!! Click here to add it to your cart! Have fun shopping!! 

Amanda's Heroic Product:

This product has saved me so many hours of finding carry-over activities to send home to parents to encourage generalization of articulation skills practiced during therapy sessions. Home practice is a large part of speech therapy success. This homework packet has over 35 weeks for articulation activities. Students are assigned one page per week to practice their speech sounds with a homework partner. Each page should take 10-15 minutes to complete. There is also a parent newsletter to help guide and encourage parents to use the packet each week. 

Pages without the dates are also included to encourage the use of this packet for many years! 
...But, don't just take my advice, here is some feedback from a few amazing therapists that have found this packet helpful!

HAPPY SHOPPING! 

Head to the link-up to see more amazing products that saved the day!

Five for Friday {October 4th}

Hi!

I am a day late with my Five for Friday post! I really did plan on typing it up last night! I was just so. tired. We all know what teacher tired is like right??? This week was a tough week at school! I am sure I am not alone. :) So anyways...my five favorite things from this week!! :)

I am getting my Spooky Solve the Room ready for my kiddos!! They love the math hunts we do, but for some reason I think they love this one the best!! something to do with Halloween I am sure. I put up the math problem cards around the classroom and they go on a hunt with their recording page and a clip board! I usually put it in my math stations so they are not all hunting at once! :) 

 You can find the Halloween Hunt in our TPT store! You can also grab all 4 for a super discounted price!!!

This week Amanda and I decorated the bulletin board in the lounge! We are in charge of keeping it up to date throughout the year. We love stuff like this so we are so excited to bring some more creativity to our school! This is our "fall" themed board. Who doesn't love football?! (I am watching TCU beat OU as we speak ;) )

Last night, yes FRIDAY night, I finally finished putting my tier 2 documentation binder together. It has been looming over my head for weeks! I have a tab for each friend of mine who needs reading intervention and a tab for each one who needs math. On their tab page I have their Fall data and strands that they need interventions for. This helps me remember who needs what as I am working with them! I have tonsss of sticky notes of what I have been doing, but I hadn't added my new students tabs and data yet! Let's just say I will be at my teacher table a LOT this year!! These babies need lots of reading and math love! 

This week two of my table groups got to scan our very first QR code prize of the year!! Their prizes were sit in the teacher's chair all day (ohhhh!!) and use pen all day! Both of these prizes were a hit. They loved scanning the code to see the secret prize pop up! Check it out here!

This past weekend Amanda and I attended a Women's Conference at her church. It was GREAT! We have started reading the She Reads Truth: Open Your Bible plan (a little late) and have a Facebook group going with some girls to discuss the plan with. It has been amazing to have some fellowship and accountability daily! I can't wait for our new bible study to start next week! It is all about the BEST yes, and how to say no to things in order to be able to say yes to BETTER things! 

Monday Made It!

Hey everyone! I am linking up with 4th Grade Frolics for Monday Made It!

I have been working like crazy to get my classroom ready for this year. Creating, printing, laminating, repeat!! I am still not finished but I am getting there! Here are a few of my made-its!!

I needed a new calendar but I don't really like how boring they all are! Haha! So I whipped up some days of the week..Melonheadz style! I love it!!

This project was so super easy! I bought an unfinished wood frame from Michaels & painted it. Then, I made a poster sized 11 by 17 to place in it with my name and quote! Thanks to Amanda for the quote idea!! (I made the 3 banner last year! SOO easy too!! burlap, scraps of fabric, DONE!)

This is one of my favorite things about my room this year!! I created some positive quote posters for my classroom, but I wanted a cute way to display them. I bought these frames, Michaels again!, and painted them. I hot glued a mini clothespin on them and hung them up behind my student computers!! (final picture will be in my blog reveal post next week!) You can check out these posters here.

These are some gifts I "made" this week for some techy friends I met this summer through a training! (I hope they aren't reading this post! ;) I am going to add a gift card and send it through our inner school mail system! I couldn't resist these iPad notepads!! They are magnetic too! 

My last made it is *almost* finished. Is that cheating?! I am finishing up a Back to School Math Hunt. I have 4 other math hunts in my store for throughout the year, so this will be perfect to add to that bundle! The bundle will be the price of only 2 math hunts! 5 for the price of 2?! Yes please!! 

Happy Monday!!!
