100th Day Fun! - Freebie


Today was our 100th Day of School. My eyes are still dry from all the baby powder I had in my hair!

We did several activities with a theme of 100.

One of my favorites was a very simple one.



We made an acrostic poem about all the things we want one hundred of! (I just couldn't figure out any other way to get that preposition anywhere but at the end of the sentence!)

If you'd like the file, just click on the pic above.

We also did the activities from my 100 Day packet. You can click {HERE} for a 100 Day Scoot freebie.

Here's a pic of two of my teammates and me (in the middle) in our old lady outfits. We had fun and our kiddos loved it!




Thanks to all of you, my blog following is just growing and growing. I have several blogging friends who are going to join me for a special giveaway celebration to celebrate my blog reaching 1100 followers AND my new Teachers Pay Teachers store reaching 100 followers. It's only been open a week and I'm already over 60!
I'm adding products all the time, so be sure you check both the TpT store and my Teachers Notebook stores. 

My latest addition is a dinosaur themed board game for practicing the 600 Fry words. It's available on the store for $2.00 a set, or $8.00 for all six packets if you purchase the big file! (Instead of $12.00 if you buy them separately!)

BUT.....if you are one of the first five followers to leave a comment with your name and email address, I'll send you your own copy of all six games. Please be sure you follow my TpT store and my blog!

If you would like to contribute a product or other item to my giveaway, just leave me a comment below and I'll get back with you on the details.

Expanding the Kingdom - Sentence Freebie

I'm trying everything I can think of to give my kiddos good models for practicing sentence writing. I'm hoping this arranging activity will fit the bill.
The cards can all be arranged to create compound sentences, so they kiddos are going to have to really think about this!
Just click on the pic above to get the file.
This is part of a new packet I've posted on both my Teachers Pay Teachers and Teachers Notebook stores. Click on the store links at the right if you want info on the entire packet.

I would be royally pleased if you could leave a compound sentence as a comment, and I hope you will follow my Teachers Pay Teachers and TeacherNotebook Stores! :)

Collective Nouns Tic Tac Toe - Freebie

Run one copy of this game off to use in a center for a review on collective nouns, or make one copy for each pair of students to use as large group review. Either way, your kids will love reviewing collective nouns by playing Tic Tac Toe!

And the best part?
If you aren't studying collective nouns right now, run off the game board and heart markers and use to review anything at all!


Show me some love by leaving a comment below!

If you need more activities for reviewing collective nouns, visit my Teachers Pay Teachers Store or Teachers Notebook Shop to purchase my new packet of literacy stations I just uploaded!

100th Day of School Activities - Freebie

Our 100th Day of School Celebration is coming up. I've made a few activities to help my kiddos celebrate.

Here is a Scoot game that combines ELA and Math skills. The students will rotate from desk to desk and complete the task on each card. I'll set a timer for five minutes or so, and they'll have to be finished when the buzzer goes off.
Just click on the pic above to get the Scoot game.
If you are interested in my other 100th Day activities, visit my Teachers Notebook Store or my Teachers Pay Teachers store for the full packet.

Mirroring Reflexive Pronouns

Reflexive pronouns mirror another noun or pronoun in a sentence. This activity is a little different than the ones I've posted so far. 
Students are given the reflexive pronoun in a sentence and must identify the word it "reflects."

Just click on the pic above to download the activity.
