Planning for Next Year?!

Happy Friday everyone!  I’ve been finishing up my latest project and I’m so excited about it!!  Stick with me, there’s a freebie at the end!
I know many of you are already planning for next year!  I’ve created a planning pack with lots of resources to help organize your planning.  Some of the PDF forms are even editable!!! It was a tricky situation figuring that out but I think I figured it out! I even printed my planner at FedEx office and LOVE LOVE LOVE it!

Get yours here!

Here’s a peek at what’s included:
A planner with 2 page month spreads and 2 page weekly spreads, already dated and in one file for easy printing!



Two page weekly planner spreads (lined and unlined)

Week at a Glance and Year at a Glance
                           
Now here’s the fun stuff specifically created for teacher planning!  These are in separate files so you can pick and choose what you want to use.  I suggest printing and putting in a binder for easy storage and reference! :) This is a long range planner that can be used to plan out your units, weeks, grading periods, or even year! (in black and white and color-also available with an editable PDF)

This is a weekly planner that can be used to plan out your weeks. I LOVE this planner and have used it so much!  (In black and white, lined and unlined-available unlined in an editable PDF)


I also included step by step instructions for the editable files, and step by step instructions for printing the planner to FedEx Office.
Now for the freebie!  Here’s a 2 page monthly spread that’s blank so you can use it for any month!  Enjoy! Click the picture to download!

May the Force Be With You! and a FREEBIE!

Warning: This might be long! But stick with it because there’s something special at the end!
So Shuna @ Pocket Full of Kinders used my handy dandy product request (that little tab up above ) and requested a unit on magnets!! Lucky for me Scrappin’ Doodles has some awesome clip art! Then I got waaaayyy excited about it when I realized there was Star Wars clip art and went with a “May the Force Be With You” theme for the unit….get it?? Magnetic force??Hopefully I’m not the only weirdo who thought that was clever! It’s packed with some intro activities and suggestions (including vocab cards and a thinking map or two), 4 science activities that can be done whole or small group, 3 literacy activities (pocket chart poem, contraction, scrambled sentences), and 3 math activities (time, addition and money).  So without further ado…

 

If you download the preview from TpT you’ll get details of what’s in the pack before purchasing.  Also if you click the pictures above you’ll be able to see them larger!
Now for the FREEBIE!
My science packs have been SOOO popular!  I found that kinder kiddos (and probably even firsties) do well when having an action verb to connect to the scientific method.  Even though they are young I believe it’s so so important for them to understand the PROCESS at the most basic level.  And what better way for them to have a firm understanding than to connect each step to a verb.  So, here’s what I came up with:

It comes with a full page poster for each step with an “I” statement.  The “I” statements are:

“I wonder…”

“I think…”

“I see…”

“I discovered…”

“I know…”

These are 1/4 page cards.  You could use them on a bulletin board if you didn’t have room for the full pages.  They could also be used in a lesson about the scientific method as a sequencing activity.

This is a generic recording sheet for experiments you might do in the classroom.  There is a spot for each step labeled with the same picture and “I” statement.  This could be used for any experiment!!

Enjoy the freebie!  I always love to hear how you use my products in your classrooms or what other things you might like to see!!  

I’m linking up with Freebie Friday:

Now for the special thing I promised you!  I’ll give away the “May the Force Be With You” Magnets unit to one special person.  Just comment with what other science unit you might like to see (an extra entry for blogging about it too!). The giveaway will end Monday morning 8 am Central time!  Let the comments begin!

PS. Got my TpT check in the mail (so amazed that I even got a check the first quarter I was even active!!!) and I was like a kid on Christmas.  It was pretty ridiculous.
