The Sales are Ready For YOU!


 The end is near. . . as in the end of the school year.


But the beginning is also near. . . as in your summer!


I've got some things to share with you that might help you feel a bit better about the end of the year. 


These 3 summer calendars are ready for you to grab and print off for your students before the last day of school. (There is a Spanish and English version included)

These calendars are great for K-3rd graders. The calendars give the students things to read and do everyday of the summer. However; they can do them in any order, on any day, and more than one a day! Most take just a few minutes to do. 

When the summer is over they can return them to their next year's teacher who can return them to you. If you want you can stick your mailing address label on them in case they move away. 


Another great thing that's going on right now is a 50% off sale on TPT.


The 3 items listed in this picture are all 50% off until May 22nd at midnight, EST. 


All 3 of these can be used those first few weeks of school. They are best for 2nd and 3rd, but some 1st graders might be able to handle them too. 

Click on each picture below to go to that product in my store.





Remember to search #sale50may in TPT and you'll see many things that are set at 50% off just until May 22nd. 



P.S. If you follow my TPT store, be sure to read my Notes To Followers. I tucked in a freebie this week. I will continue to post messages there all summer. So check back in once in a while!

From Scrambled Sentences to Building Sentences

 


Hello everyone!

This is spring break for my area and it's been a very wet, rainy, stormy week. But with all that bad weather, I've had time to make some changes and add some resources to my store.

I have some products called Scrambled Sentences that are doing ok in sales. But after listening to Shelly Rees this week, I realized that my title doesn't actually fit the product clearly. So I decided to call them Building Sentences. I think that fits the skill much better than Scrambled Sentences.

That's all well and good, but the amount of time it took to change everything from Scrambled to Building was a LONG time. I may have even missed a few things here and there. If you're searching for them, you can look under Building Sentences or Making Simple Sentences.



This comes in the color version you see here and a black and white version here.

I also created a worksheet version in case you'd rather have the students cut, paste, and write the sentences in the correct order.



There are 10 different sentences included. So you could have students do one a day as part of their morning work.

Stay tuned for later this year, as I convert many of these into worksheet accessible.

April Showers Bring YOU Great Deals!


Hello April. . . . It may not be April yet, but I can see it. . . .It's on the way.

I love this time of year as it brings so much renewal. We've survived the winter (here in Michigan!) and are ready for the flowers to start popping out.

I have a special deal going on just this week. You get to be the first to hear about it. I have put the four featured resources from my store on sale for half off. That's for this week only. On Friday, April 4th they will not be on sale anymore. So look them over now and grab them if they will work for your classroom. Tell your friends too. You can click each picture to go to that product.

If the items above are too tough for your class, maybe you'd like your students to work on patterning. You can have this for free, just by emailing me at pjrbar@charter.net. Tell me that you'd like the April Patterns and I'll send it to you. Be sure to tell me the email address you want me to send it to.
