What's on your Teacher Wish List?

If you're like me, you ALWAYS have a teacher wish list!  Well, tomorrow and Tuesday are the days to check that wish list and purchase some items that will help you be a better teacher and your students perform in the classroom!

My Teachers Pay Teachers store (as well as thousands of other TpT stores) are on sale for Cyber Monday and Tuesday. That's right! This sale is the biggest sale (apart from the Back to School sale) that TpT has. So, load up that cart, save some money in the process, and get some of those classroom needs (and wants)!

Check out these two new products that I have that I can't wait to use with my students in the next couple weeks!

https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Christmas-Geometry-Activities-Bundle-4213660

This bundle includes activities for teaching different kinds of lines (Ornament Craftivity), quadrilaterals (Nutcracker Craftivity), triangles and angles (Christmas Tree Farm project, and Tessellations (Ugly Sweater Craftivity). Super fun and engaging for students, and packed with Geometry content. Definitely a score for the coolest teacher doing these activities!  Each activity is sold separately, but the bundle saves you an extra 20% 

https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Christmas-Traditions-Reading-Passages-and-Activities-Bundle-3512826

These reading passages are sure to pull in the Christmas/holiday spirit as your students learn about why we do certain traditions. Each reading passage comes with a focused graphic organizer for identifying the main idea and supporting details, as well as comparing what people used to do and how it has changed over time. Comprehension questions are included to help you assess reading comprehension for nonfiction texts. And if that wasn't enough fun, a craft and/or activity is included to make the holiday season a joy for your students. These crafts can either be done in class or sent home for family activity. Each tradition is listed separately in my store, but the bundle saves you money! Score!

Don't second guess teaching poetry anymore! These quick, easy to follow mini lessons will expose your students to a wide variety of poems, introduce and review literary elements, and encourage students to write their own poetry! And the lessons only take about 10 minutes a day.

The 24 included poems will give you enough poems for 1 a day for a poetry month or unit focus, or there's plenty here to get you through your school year (some of the extra activities for the poems can extend to a 2 day lesson). It's perfect! 

           

Keep printing simple - each poem and student analysis/activity is on a single page. You only need one page a day for students. No need to fumble with multiple pages of copying. Teacher directions are on half page cards in a simple to follow format. Easy-peasy!
