There Was An Old Lady…

*****UPDATE: WINNER HAS BEEN CHOSEN! THANKS!!*****
That was EXHAUSTED! Well I’m not quite the old lady, but I am quite tired this week.  All I will say is that God always leads you right where you need to be! Sometimes you are rerouted, but it all works out in the end.
But, there was an old lady who swallowed a bunch of stuff…like shells, chicks, books, bells, snow, a clover, leaves, a bat… the list goes on and on. Lucky for you, I’ve created some fun and simple sequencing activities for all of these fun books by Lucille Colandro and I Know An Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie by Alison Jackson.
In my store, I have added all the sequencing activities for the individual books {including the newest…There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Books!!} Click on each to head to the page!

Also, for a math connection….I created some roll & cover games to reinforce number recognition and addition to go along with the books:

For convenience, I also bundled all of the sequencing and the roll & cover together.  You save $7.50 by buying the bundle!!!

And by request…I bundled ONLY the sequencing together.  You save $6.00 by buying this bundle!!!
Slide2
And, as usual!! I’ll do a flash giveaway of the bundle pack of your preference!  Just leave a comment stating:
-Which pack you would like and why…
-Email address *VERY IMPORTANT!*
I’ll choose a random winner tomorrow night {Thursday} around 9pm CST.
Enjoy!

Technology Tuesday: The Clever School Teacher

If you have perused the world of educational blogs at all I’m sure you have seen the blog Mrs. Wills Kindergarten!  It is a favorite of mine and always has been! Well, did you know that her and her husband  have created a new site? I didn’t either until I saw this post from Chalk Talk
This new site is such an incredible resource for teachers and I have perused it some so I thought I would share what I found and LOVE!

It’s a little hard to read but the site gives you two different options: you can browse by category or you can search by book title, author or SKU.  My favorite is the category option! They are arranged in different ways, by comprehension, by genre studies, by word study, 6+1 Traits, Units of Study-Lucy Calkins, Katie Wood Ray, Craft Lessons, Non-Fiction Craft Lessons, Award Winning Books, and Common Core Standards by grade level.  There are “sets” created that you can purchase in most of the different categories.  It’s incredible!
There is also a wish list feature, they take POs from schools and you get free shipping (in the US) on orders over $25!
I mean, think about it…how many hours have you/could you spend trying to find the perfect book to teach a certain concept or idea.  And here they all are organized in many different ways!  What a wonderful resource for educators! 


You should head on over and check it out.  I am still perusing the different categories!
I’d love to hear what you find! Feel free to comment below!
