Commas and Synonym/Antonym Task Cards

Cassie here from Texas Forever (Formerly Mrs. Thomas's Class!) Today I am going to share with you two sets of task cards that I LOVE.

The ER months are my absolute FAVORITE.. I am a fall person to the core and Halloween starts this love for me! Today I am going to share with you my Halloween Synonym/Antonym Task Cards and my Fall Comma's Task Cards! 

The Halloween task cards could work well for those higher students in 2nd grade, but they were made primarily towards 3rd/4th grade vocabulary. My students who were early finishers last year loved them, they were very challenging and even required some students to really learn how to use a dictionary to ensure they were matching up the words correctly! 

My fall task cards are comma's. Comma's in a series, dates, and cities/states. 

I love creating with themes and it helps keeps the task cards current. The students also love the clipart- - no matter how old they are! :) 

Head to my TPT store to get these $1 deals for 3 days!!

Ditch the File Folders and Binderize your Teaching Files

Do you hate file cabinets as much as I do? I HATED storing things in file folders but after 3 years of teaching I didn't really know how else to keep track of my hoards growing collection of teaching resources. The pages were getting messy and folded and I'd find like 72 copies of the same activity. 

This OCD teacher just couldn't take it anymore! Not to mention the fact that when I needed to plan my apple unit I had a huge file folder to lug out and try to carry home without losing everything inside or stabbing myself with those great little plastic hanging file folder things. Seriously, can any of you relate to this? If you are sick of the crazy file folder system and want something neat, organized, and easy to use, then this post is for you!

Get ready to turn this...

Into this!

Step One: Gather/buy binders.  I use mostly 1 1/2" binders for my themes and 1-2" Binders for everything else.

Step Two: Decide if you want to do the hole punch or page protector method.  I prefer to hole punch a majority of my stuff and then use a few page protectors for those things I just don't want to punch.

Step Three: Start with a few folders at a time and get organizing! For example: Grab your "Apple" folder (because you know...every teacher has an apple folder, lol) Take everything out of the folder and sort into piles by math, reading, writing, projects, etc.  This makes it easy to see when you have 72 of the same activity and is a great time to purge some old worksheets from Mailbox circa 1980 (you know you've been holding onto some of those antiques!)

Step Four: Hole punch or put pages into page protectors.  If you hole punch, log this in as your arm workout for the day. :)  Then put them in your binder and feel free to shake it around in excitement over no more falling out crumpled papers everywhere!!

Step Five: Create or find covers for your binders.

Here's where today's deal comes in!  I have created binder covers for reading, writing, and math as well as all those themed units.  You can check out my new just uploaded this morning Teacher Binder Covers & Spines for reading, writing, and math here.  They also have editable versions for you to create your own! I will keep them on Sale for just $1 until Saturday 7/11, before they go to their regular price of $3.

If you are a thematic planner, I've also got 70 different covers & spines included in my Thematic Teacher Binder Pack that you can grab here.  They are on sale for 20% until the end of the day as part of my Shark Week Sale so grab them quick!

Thanks for stopping by to check out my love for organizing!

Classroom Decor

Hey everyone! Cassie from Mrs. Thomas's Class! 

I am going to share with you today different decor pieces I have in my store!! 

Last year I did superheroes and had pieces from School Girl Style to use in my room. I loved the theme and the idea, but my room was TINY. I realized that with my students overly hyper activity, the bright bold colors were almost TOO much. Which led me to what direction I am going next year for my classroom -- homey feeling, soft tones, burlap, and nature. (Which is what my house is, our wedding was, and our son's nursery is turning in to), so I have a keen eye for all things rustic and burlap!!

I created these letters which I LOVE and can't wait to get them in my room! 

My intention is to print just like above and do cursive on top (or bottom) and print on bottom (or top) so my students can match cursive with print as well as have a visual that goes with the theme of the room!! 

You can find these here marked down for a $1 for 3 days! 

I also created a buggy theme for my first year teaching kinder! 

This has EVERYTHING and I love it!!! 

This is originally $6.00, but is marked down for three days for $1!!! 

Get it HERE!
