I'm Thankful So...It's Give Away Time!

It has been a year since I started creating units for TPT and I am so thankful for the blessing this adventure has become!  So...I am giving away my Pilgrim Children unit to one lucky winner!  All you need to do is comment below with something you are thankful for. I will post the winner tomorrow night at 8:30 p.m. central time. Ready, set, go!

You can go HERE to take a peek at the unit.

Community Workers Lap Book

As I was working on my latest unit I realized that I needed to offer the lap book separately.  This lap book focuses on community workers and would work perfectly in your Social Studies lessons.  I am loving lap books.  My firsties last year really liked making them!  I've included several web resources also.  Here are some pictures.

Just a quick post tonight to introduce you to a new blog.  My bestie at school has FINALLY jumped into the blog world!  Woohoo!  If you are looking for new ways to use technology in your classroom she is the person for you!  Sayward has some great ideas about how to use padlet, Edmodo, and iPads.  Go check out her new blog:  http://learningwithlowery.blogspot.com/ 

New Units: The Farmer in the Hat and Pilgrim Children

I have finished two new units!  The first is a unit on Pilgrim Children.  Thanksgiving is one of my favorite times of the year so I wanted to create an engaging activity for firsties.  With the common core it is so important for our firsties to become independent learners and with this unit they can research and find the answers on their own.

For all my first grade teachers that are looking for a little something extra to add to Reading Street I have finished the unit for The Farmer in the Hat.  Woohoo!  I think I have 4 more stories to complete and I will have units for ALL the Reading Street stories.
