Teacher Appreciation Sale Goodies

During the TpT Teacher Appreciation Sale last week, I stocked up on some goodies that have been sitting on my wish list for a while. I thought I would share these goodies with you as well as how I am planning or using them in my classroom.

I have been looking to update my word wall for next year. This is a great word wall set where the vowel cards have red font to help my kinders distinguish between the consonants and vowels. The word cards included are the Dolch words. I don't teach all of them in kindergarten but I will pick and choose the ones we teach. 

This is a great unit that I found. I am already using activities from it in my lesson plans for the next 3 weeks as the school year comes to a close. I love teaching about the ocean and these new activities will spice up my unit.

This is a Fundraiser for a baby who is very sick. This is a great bundle of clipart at an exceptional value. I was so happy to be able to support such a great cause.

This ocean creatures bundle is such a cute set of clipart from Educlips. I love her work and I can't wait to get started creating new activities for my ocean unit with this cute clipart. 

So what did you purchase during the big sale??

Teachers Appreciation Week Purchases

Well I had a great time shopping during the TpT Teacher Appreciation Sale. I found some great things on sale that I have had in my wishlist for a while. Here are the things I purchased.
 

Frog Frenzy Math & Literacy Fun! Nonfiction Unit Aligned with Common Core (Deanna Jump)
This is a unit I have had in my wishlist and it is my first (but definitely not my last) purchase from Deanna. This unit fits in perfectly with our Pond Life unit we do each April.

Fall, Winter, & Spring Sentence Puzzles (Lori Rosenberg)
This is a pack of scrambled sentences for each season of the school year. I tried out a sample sheet a while back and my kinders LOVED it. These sheets have different levels from simple to more complex where the students have to unscramble the sentence and then answer the question. I have already copied 4 of these puzzles to use during the remaining weeks of school.

Insects & Lifecycles MEGA Unit for Literacy, Math & Science Centers (Kreative in Kinder)
This is another unit I have been wanting for a while. I love all the activities included in this unit and I am sure it will be perfect for my lifecycles unit we do each spring.

Patriotic Kids (Krista Walden)
Ocean Commotion (Krista Walden)
Spring Fling (Krista Walden)
I also purchased these clipart packs from Krista. I love her artwork! I have some great ideas in mind for some new products using this clipart so stay tuned!

One of our school secretaries sent this to the teachers in our school and I had to share with you all since I know how hard you all work every day.

Teacher Appreciation Week

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week so I thought I would share this wonderful poem that I absolutely LoVe!! I love all of my bloggy friends who inspire me to be a better teacher on a daily basis. Thank you for all you have done for me and the other bloggers as well as your students both past and present!

“Why God Made Teachers” 
When God created teachers, 
He gave us special friends 
To help us understand His world 
And truly comprehend 
The beauty and the wonder 
Of everything we see, 
And become a better person 
With each discovery. 
When God created teachers, 
He gave us special guides 
To show us ways in which to grow 
So we can all decide 
How to live and how to do 
What's right instead of wrong, 
To lead us so that we can lead 
And learn how to be strong. 
Why God created teachers, 
In His wisdom and His grace, 
Was to help us learn to make our world 
A better, wiser place.

BTW: I am participating in the TpT Teacher Appreciation sale and offering 20% off of my Lovely Ladybugs unit if you would like to purchase it.

I hope you all have a wonderful week!
