St. Patrick's Day Freebie!

Well, once again it's been a little while since my presence has graced this blog, but this time I come with gifts - a little St. Patrick's Day freebie to be exact! I'm also linking up with Manic Monday at Classroom Freebies, so make sure to head over there and see what other freebies are up for grabs.

This year, St. Patrick's Day is on Spring Break (which reminds me, one more week until Spring Break, wahoo!) so we will be celebrating in green this Friday. You might find this little freebie useful if you plan on doing any St. Patrick's Day reading or writing this week:

It contains one story elements printable:

4 writing papers:

and nine vocabulary cards:

You can click any of the picture to check it out on TpT or {HERE} to download.

I also recently finished a new unit that I have been working on forever - Reading Comprehension Printables. These 20 printables work for any picture book and can be used repeatedly through the year to assess student comprehension and reading strategies.

Most of the printables come in three versions - unlined, primary-lined and regular-lined - and cover connecting, visualizing, predicting, re-telling, responding, inferring & more. Click the picture or {HERE} to check it out if you are interested!

What are your plans for St. Patrick's Day? More importantly, when is your Spring Break?

TpT 3 Million Teachers Strong Sale 2.0

Well I'm back again, and frankly I'm surprised. I am so exhausted so I'm not sure how the rest of the week will play out!

Today I'm linking up with Blog Hoppin' to once again, talk about the amazing upcoming sale at Teachers Pay Teachers.

Yesterday I blogged about some of my favourite units, and today I'm going to talk about some units that may be helpful in the upcoming months.

First up, St. Patrick's Day is less than a month away. What are your plans? For my school district, St. Patrick's day actually falls on Spring Break, so any celebration will, most likely, be a short one. If you're looking for something, you could try my St. Patrick's Day Pot o' Gold Unit:

or some word problems:

or maybe you just want to pick up a freebie:

You know as soon as St. Patrick's Day is over, Easter will be right around the corner. Here are a few Easter-themed units:

or maybe you just need some extra spring-themed math practice:

And finally, one of my favourite holidays to celebrate in the classroom - Earth Day!

Head on over to Blog Hoppin' to see what other stores are participating in this amazing sale!

Have a great (rest of the) week!

1 Freebie, 2 Weeks, 3 Link-Ups

Well who knew this Sunday would be so busy for blogging town. Well really it's busy for me because I'm late to a bunch of link-ups. So without further ado, here I go:

1)


Here I go again linking up with the craziness that is Manic Monday at Classroom Freebies. So this week I decided to go seasonal and created a St. Patrick's Day freebie.

So this freebie contains Lucky Number cards (8 primary, 8 intermediate), 1 recording sheet and of course an answer key. Students follow the directions to answer the multi-step questions that require basic operation skills (addition & subtraction for primary, addition, subtraction, multiplication & division for intermediate) then record. Seasonal, fun & common-core aligned, what else could you ask for?? (Was that a bit of an over sell?) Click {HERE} to check out the freebie on TPT and {HERE} for non-TPT users and go check out Classroom Freebies for more fantastic freebies. 2) Next up, another linky. I am linking up with Sharing Kindergarten for her St. Patrick's Day Products Linky Party.

So I shared a St. Patty's freebie above but I also blogged about my St. Patty's unit and some other ideas {HERE}.

3) And finally, I have heard of the Currently linky forever and finally I've decided to join. So let's hope this works.

So I guess I need to explain: Listening: Umm I think this is self-explanatory. I am a reality TV junkie and I will tune into any franchise of the Real Housewives, but really, isn't is always fighting? Loving: Again, self-explanatory. As soon as it is Spring, it will basically be a blink of the eye until Summer. Ahhh. Thinking: The weekend does seem to go awfully fast.
Wanting: Who wouldn't want a pot of gold? Needing: I should really do those dishes sitting in the sink, but there are so many other things I'd rather be doing. Like: Sweets. I eat way too much chocolate (or maybe, not enough!). Love: Well I did say I love Spring Break, but now that I think about it, my school district only gets one week. I would love to have two weeks! Hate: I always seem to be sick around Spring Break. Since I had strep throat last week, hopefully I'll be good to go on Spring Break. Well there I think I did it, my first Currently link-up with Farley at Oh' Boy 4th Grade! Ok, I think that's all the freebies, link-ups, posts, recaps, wind-ups, etc. for today. Phew!

St. Patrick's Day . . . and all things green

Well this may be a little early but I think I'll talk about St. Patrick's Day. This has been on my mind because I have spent awhile updating my St. Patrick's Day unit and my updating I mean completely redoing. I don't think there was anything from the old packet that is still in the new one, and I couldn't be happier.

I've said it before and I will say it again and again. I love the fun and excitement that holidays bring into the classroom and even more than that, I like to take curriculum and make it more fun by adding the holiday element.

My St. Patrick's Day Pot o' Gold unit does have some fun activities,

but, I've also tried to incorporate some curriculum:

I'm so excited about my new (old/revised) unit and I hope students are too! Click {HERE} if you'd like to check it out. 

I had other pictures I wanted to post from the unit, but I have no idea to rotate pictures in blogger and I guess I'm too lazy to google it right now. Maybe I'll have figured it out by my next post.

To finish off, I think I'll add some more St. Patrick's Day stuff by including a few pins:

Such a good idea for primary students.

I think I'll stop there. Something sweet on a holiday is practically a necessity!
