Teacher Mom: Laborless Blog Hop!

Hello everyone!

ARE YOU REAAADDDY!!!

It is Finally here!

Today I am linking with Laura from Where the Magic Happens, Krista from Teaching Momster, and Lisa from PAWsitively Teaching! I have joined forces once again with my bloggy friends to bring you the best, most amazing giveaway on this Labor Day weekend!
All of us have been thinking about good ways in which to treat our readers and followers. We thought hard, and I mean it! Really, really hard… and decided that we can treat you to our best ideas to work smarter rather than harder… at school and home!
I know what it takes to be a great teacher, the stress, the time, the energy… I could go on and on! I also know that we crave time to ourselves and our families.

So here I go!

I LOVE these homework folders and offices from one of my favorites Fluttering Through First Grade...

I bought this pack last year to make these AMAZING home/school folders:

This year, I made the folders again, but I also modified them to make some privacy shields too.

I am excited to use these again this year! What do you think??

Do what you love - and find something mindless to enjoy after a long day...

Much to my husband's dismay - I have been addicted to Big Brother ever since season 2 - even before I started dating him.

I'm not sure if it's because I have extra time in the summer or if it's just something fun (and mindless) to watch, but every summer it grips me.

Though I will say this summer has NOT been my favorite! Anyone else watch? What are you thinking about this season??

I am super excited to share with you some goodies from my store for September - including one that is BRAND spankin new!

My team and I started using a Guided Math model last year and LOVED it, but we felt like we needed to check in with kids in a meaningful way - so exit slips are the perfect solution!

The exit slips are organized by month. I have a Aug/Sept pack and October pack ready to go! I also decided to make a Growing Bundle, so if you like what you see you can get a whole year for a HUGE discount - especially if you buy now!

Aug/Sept Exit Slips

October Exit Slips

Grade 1 Exit Slips - Growing Bundle

I also have this awesome updated word wall for grade 1 in my store. I love the new digital papers and navy/teal/pink color theme!

Grade 1 Word Wall (letters and words included!)

Finally, I have been in make over mode with my store. My grade 2 phonics packs have been the first on the list. This one would be great for review at the beginning of the year - bonus letters (hall, fluff, etc) and glued sounds (-ang, -unk, etc.)
