Giving Thanks for Teaching Resources!

Hi there and Happy Thanksgiving! I'm Shelly Rees, from Appletastic Learning! There are some things a teacher just cannot live without. Yes, chocolate might be one of them, but I'm specifically referring to teaching resources. It may be a poster packet, an interactive notebook, or a data-tracking system. I'd like to share that one special resource that I am SO thankful to have as a teacher. It is also my DOLLAR DEAL until November 20th!

My Fifth Grade Common Core Math Packets are incredibly helpful to me in several ways. Without these packets, I seriously would have trouble preparing my students for state assessments and making sure every student has mastered each standard as we move through the year.

Each packet is designed for a quick check of student mastery for the specific standard to which it is aligned. You can use the sheets as classwork, homework, in centers, or even quickly cut the boxes apart and use as exit tickets!

 Here is a preview of what is included:

I am so thankful to have these resources in my classroom, that I am sharing ALL 34 PACKETS at $1 EACH until November 20th. That's not just one dollar deal; it's 34 sweet dollar deals! You will not see a cheaper price; 

this is 50% off the normal price.

Hey!

Jen here from Sparkling in Second!

I'm excited to share my dollar deal this month, it's something I'm very THANKFUL for in my classroom, my Monthly ABC Order Pack.

I love this product because: 

1. It's easy to use (little prep work, just print and copy) 

2. It works on a tough skill, ABC order 

3. It's seasonal fun (there is a page for every month of the year)

I put an alphabet on the bottom to help guide those little learners who are thinking WAY too hard about the order of things.

My students love these! I use them during our Word Work time for Daily 5 or for sub days when I know they can't get much done ;)

These will be $1 through the 20th! Happy Thanksgiving!

"Fall" in Love with Reading

Hi there and Happy Autumn! It's me, Shelly Rees, from Appletastic Learning!

We are into full swing of the school year and enjoying the beautiful autumn leaves of northern Pennsylvania! One of my favorite things about being a teacher during the month of October and the fall season is how easy it is to inspire creativity in the area of writing. There are so many excellent writing topics during the month of October that really get students excited about getting those pencils moving! 

For this weekend's dollar deal, I am sharing my Halloween Mini Folder Writing Packet! If your intermediate-level students are reluctant to write, 

this packet is sure to inspire them. 

This packet includes 6 fun, engaging writing projects:

My students truly do love completing these fun folders!

Easy on you, the teacher! Simply print and go! 

Perfect for grades 3-5!

FALL into Savings for Your Classrooms!

Hi All! Jen from Sparkling in Second here!

In the spirit of FALL, I want to share one of my favorite Thanksgiving read alouds.

"The Ugly Pumpkin" by Dave Horowitz, is a rhyming story about an "ugly" pumpkin finding his way through October and into November. A fun twist on the old tale The Ugly Duckling.

This book has a lot of depth. You can use it to teach many things: kindness, accepting others, anti-bullying, thankfulness, or just the transition between Halloween & Thanksgiving.

Make sure to BUY THIS BOOK :) It's a must have for this season!

Here's a peek into my Ugly Pumpkin Book Companion!

          

          

This book companion will be $1 through the 20th! :)

Happy Fall!

Get Organized for BTS: LABELS style!

Hi, everyone! It's Shelly Rees, of Appletastic: Blossoming in Fifth Grade! You may know that I teach fifth grade or that I love creating teacher resources, but you probably don't know that I am a label junkie. Truth. There is nothing better than a nicely organized space, where everything is clearly labeled for the world to see!

My dollar deal for August is nothing other than....... Editable Labels! Not just any old labels, of course, but some beautifully colored editable labels with a variety of backgrounds. They are perfect for just about any organizational need you may have at school, at home, or even at church!

Take a look at some of the ways these labels can be used in your classroom:

 Create schedule cards to keep your class on track throughout the day.

 Label your book bins in your classroom library and personalize students' bins.

 Keep your graded and ungraded paper organized. 

(Isn't it sooo nice when that "ungraded" bin is totally empty?)

Make those supply containers really stand out in a beautiful way!

You can get this set of Magnificent Multicolored with Chalkboard Editable Labels for only $1 through August 20th @ 11:59 pm. Click HERE to buy them now!

If you're looking for a set of super labels that are perfect for primary grades, here's Jen from Sparkling in Second!

Hey friends, it's Jen from Sparkling in Second. 

Back to School is upon us! Here's one thing that has helped me stay organized before school starts...

LABELS!

I love to label things, I really do. It makes me happy. The funny thing is, I may start a label for all my students' "Writing Notebook" and end up changing the label to "Interactive Writing Journal" half way through the year, yes, yes I do! 

That's why I love these labels!

They are ready to edit, print, and GO!

{I have a tutorial on how to only print some labels HERE, as you can see from the picture above, I was missing some labels :)}

Now my notebooks are all ready for the new year!

If you'd like to snag these EDITABLE labels for just $1, head over to my TpT Store!

They will only be $1 through August 20th @ 11:59pm!

See you next month!
