The Magical Product Swap!

I am sooo excited to show you this quarter's product!

I am linking up with Jessica from Mrs. Stanford's Class for the MAGICAL PRODUCT SWAP!

My partner is the SWEET Kristen from A Day in First Grade!

She is soooo sweet and I'm going to review 2 of her awesome products that I am LOVING and you will too!
You can check out her TpT store {HERE}
These are the two items that I am reviewing!

These 2 products go hand in hand!!!

(Click the images to head to Kristen's TpT store!)

The first one is the Phonics Flags. You 46 different sound flags/cards in different formats! They are WONDERFUL! They all have a key picture and she has included CHANTS for them all! What better way to have your first graders remember these important sounds?? <3

The second product are her Phonics Mastery sheets!! Over 170 pages!!

Here we go! I have my little model, Alyssa (my child)!

LAMINATING the flags away!!!

***Disclaimer***We are working on Alyssa's craft table! I promise it's clean! There is just glued glitter and marker marks everywhere haha!

Aly wanted to take a picture of her mamma laminating! Don't judge! We had just gotten out of bed :)

We started with the blend: br

Alyssa had to circle all of the br blends that she found!

She then highlighted all of the br blends in the words. 

She was having fun!

After, she traced the br's

then wrote the blend!

We then moved on to the 2nd sheet!

She had to circle the blend, highlight the blend, find words with that specific blend in the puzzle, and write the words on the lines!

There is another br blend sheet but I thought it was a little too hard for my kinder girl but I think it would be perfect for my first grade babies!

Alyssa with the br flag! She was obviously tired of pictures!!!

I LOVE THESE PACKS AND THEY ARE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

You can find them {HERE}

Hop on over to Kristen's blog to check out the product that she is reviewing from my store!!!

You will also find my product on sale (20% off) for the weekend!!! She is reviewing my Word Families PACK! Click {HERE} to get it for 20% off!!!

They were so good at thinking of clues and drawing their pictures! 

I also took a few pictures of the stuff that is on our walls from before break. Take a peek...

Team Teaching Tuesday!

I was super excited when my sweet friend, Stephanie from Falling into First, introduced her weekly linky party today! I knew that I had to link up.

This week's topic is:

Every classroom has rules. My first year of teaching, we made them up as a class... the usual "Golden Rule".

My second year of teaching, I was SUPER into Whole Brain Teaching:

1. Follow Directions Quickly

2. Raise Your Hand for Permission to Speak

3. Raise Your Hand for Permission to Leave Your Seat

4. Make Smart Choices

5. Keep Your Dear Teacher Happy

****Disclaimer!!! This is NOT me!!!! I just YouTubed a video!
Well, those five rules were GREAT! My favorite is number 5 :)
This year, I have a FABULOUS class... it's scary sometimes how good and smart they are. I introduced the five WBT rules in the beginning of the year and I occasionally use them (not as much as I did last year!).
I still have them up on my wall though!

If you haven't checked out WBT do it RIGHT NOW! It's amazing! 

Like I said, I haven't used it that much this year but they have strategies that I use daily (Teach-OK!)

What are your class rules???? LINK UP with Stephanie! CLICK ON THE IMAGE BELOW!

The Best Pencil Sharpener! Pencil Tip!

I know you've heard but I just need to show you all for myself!
This is the best classroom sharpener.... EVER!

Here is a picture of the one I received:

Grabbed it as soon as I came from school!!! :)

Cute little box!

I couldn't wait to open it!!

SOO Pretty!! LOVE the blue color!

ALL of the pencils looked like that! Super sharp and super easy to use!

There is even a video that you can watch on their website: Classroom Friendly Supplies! The only thing is that I would LOVE it in the color PINK to match my classroom... Troy???? hehehe

This is also how I keep my pencils!

One of my biggest pet peeves is kiddos standing by the pencils and going through every single one so they can pick the sharpest point! GAHHHH!! Drives me crazy!!!

I found the solution!!! :)

I have a red bucket that says sharpen please for pencils that need to be sharpened. For the "ready to write" pencils, I use a green pencil box! All of the pencils are horizontal and the kiddos can see most of them when they open it! VOILA! Open the box, pick a pencil (point can be easily seen), and get back to work!!! 

Plus, the box is very hard to tip over so no big messes!

Hope you can use my tip!

I went back to school today after two weeks of break! I was happy to be back with my students! They were also ready to get right to work! We are learning about the digraph sh, asking questions to comprehend stories, writing riddles, and adding double digit numbers! BUSY BUSY! 

I was busy last night (after planning, of course) making a new set of borders. These are specifically for printables. They are thin and easy to resize. Check them out! Click on any image to head to my TpT store! These are on sale (half off) for the rest of TONIGHT! Only 2 bucks!

Here is another colorful set I posted on Saturday. Click on the images to take you to my TpT store! These are $4.00

Wooh... long post is over! Have a fabulous Monday and a great Tuesday!
