Already Thinking About August & 100th Post Giveaway

If you're anything like me, you start thinking about the next school year as soon as you close your classroom door the last day of school. I am working on some center activities for the beginning of school as well as some other things, but wanted to let you know about a few things I already have. Click on the pictures for more information. :)
Cut and paste activities and a sight word game

Freebie!! Cut and paste letter sorts

Matching lowercase and uppercase letters

I use these cut and paste activities for morning work at the beginning of the year...abc game also included

This is a freebie on google docs. I actually don't use this until the end of the year, but thought I would share for my 1st or 2nd grade friends. :)

In honor of my 100th post, I will give the 2 alphabet packs and the sight word pack to 1 lucky follower. Just follow my blog and leave a comment telling me what you're doing this summer to get ready for next school year (or maybe you're still de-stressing and keeping your mind off school for a while!). I have a huge stack of old files waiting on me to go through them....I am determined not to have so much stuff this year {especially since half of what's in the files I don't use!}.

I would love to hear if you are able to use the freebies or if there's anything you need for the beginning of the year :).

  3. So far I'm still trying to de-stress and relax this weekend but that won't last too long. I'm sure I will start planning for next year soon. All of your packs are great activities for the beginning of the year. I've been looking for some more ideas for working with words and I think my kids would really like your super sight words pack. I am already a follower of your blog. Thanks for sharing and for the freebies.

  6. Hi Vickie! I am tickled pink about your freebies - you know I love your stuff. :) I have already been making oodles of Pinterest goodies, organizing my files, too, and I have been making a plan of my new classroom set up because I am moving schools. I have so many more plans, too. Thanks for the giveaway and have a happy Saturday. :)

  8. Thank you for the wonderful freebie and I have added your alphabet and sight word packs to my wish list. This summer, I am attending a conference that focuses only on our current curriculum, reading Conscious Discipline, and creating a lot of Pinterest inspired items for the classroom.

  18. I just discovered your blog through a Pinterest post - yay! I'm following you through Google Friends (not sure that's still working?) and have subscribed through my Google Reader so I don't miss a future post. I'm collecting ideas from blogs and Pinterest, making games for centers, making a couple of Pinterest finds, and doing a couple of book studies (Kdg. Daily Five and In Pictures and in Words)this summer...and of course, relaxing! Thanks for the chance to win your alphabet and sight word packs...they would be great for my kindergarten centers. Enjoy your summer!

  26. My summer just started on Friday! I'm going to de-stress for a bit, then I'm going to work on matching up our math curriculum with the Common Core and seeing where we need to supplement. I also plan on many days at the beach with my daughter and friends!
