FALL INTO WRITING – SEASON FREEBIE

September 22, 2012 by teacherideafactory

Boy, oh boy . . . have I ever been on a writing kick lately πŸ™‚  From the recent Write Stuff Giveaway (winner posted below) to various blog posts this month, I have been all about the mighty written word!  This crazy intense focus has proven to be rather helpful in Room 13 as of late.  My kiddos are REALLY taking off in the quality sentence writing department and I couldn’t be more pleased with their progress.  ROCK ON kiddos . . . Mrs. D. is super proud πŸ™‚

Stickin’ to that writing theme, I tried a little something this week in class and it was super successful.  I was shocked at how independent they were with the whole thing and how much time they spent on it.  Kiddos never cease to amaze me.  Oh, and the best part about the whole thing is that I came up with it on a whim on Thursday.  I made this little book template at about six in the morning (between drying my hair and pickin’ out a snappy outfit).  

Here’s a little look-see at My Little Book of Seasons.  We have switched gears from football to seasons/fall and this proved to be the perfect transition.  We rolled with this as an independent reading center rotation and as a whole class afternoon activity on Friday.  It worked well both ways πŸ™‚

Wanna try this in your class?  Just click on the image below to snag you FREE download.  Whoop . . . whoop . . . gotta heart keepin’ that pocketbook closed up tiz-ight!!

Thank you Hello Literacy and Scrappin’ Doodles (TPT52127)!

Switching gears a bit, congrats to Katie!  She was the BIG winner in the “Write Stuff” Giveaway!!  You have been emailed all of your goods, sweets!  A HUGE thank you to everyone who played along with us.  

Alright folks, I am off to finish up my latest installment of 1st Grade Good Morning Work. I think I can . . . I think I can πŸ™‚

Look for this puppy tomorrow in my TPT and Intelli-Tunes Stores!!
It’s ready to go . . . click here to check this one out!

Thanks so much for visiting me today.  I will see you tomorrow!!  Oh, and don’t forget to check out TBA’s Freebie Friday and All Students Can Shine (Valerie is hosting a fun Linky) for lots of other sweet fall goods!

    Thanks! I am just about to teach seasons, so this is perfect. On the free download, it is only giving me the cover, spring, and fall. Are summer and winter missing? Thanks again!
