Laborless Blog Hop!

Hello everyone!
ARE YOU REAAADDDY!!!

Main Graphic Laborless
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!

Slide1

 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??

Slide2

 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??


Slide3

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.)


Bonus Letters and Glued Sounds Game Pack

I have placed all of these items on sale for 20% for today and tomorrow only!!
Top all these great tips and ideas  with these top-notch prizes!

A $100 gift card to Amazon
A $50 gift card to TpT

2 $25 gift cards to TpT

Back To School Blog Hop With the Primary Pack



Our hop is a 3…2…1… BACK TO SCHOOL BASH because each member of The Primary Pack will be giving you 3 teacher tips, 2 giveaways (one on each of our blogs and one BIG one on the Primary Pack), and 1 freebie!

 To enter our BIG giveaway, you need to head over to THE PRIMARY PACK first! As you "hop" through each of our blogs, you will collect a letter from each of us… 28 total. Those letters spell out a secret code that you need to enter our BIG giveaway! You will use the secret code to enter the rafflecoptor on The Primary Pack at the end of the hop.

 You need to collect the letters from us IN ORDER, so please make sure that you start from the beginning of our hop. Click on the button below to head over to THE PRIMARY PACK and start our BACK TO SCHOOL BASH!!


Here are some things I wish I knew when I was first starting out...



Planning and prepping in advance is SO SUPER important.  I know how hard it is to stay ahead and up to date with all we are expected to do, but being ready for the lessons a few days ahead goes a long way - especially if things change or the unexpected comes up.  




Don't forget that you need time.  Yes, your classroom and all that comes with it is important, but it is NOT everything.  You have family and friends and as easy as it would be to become TOTALLY immersed in your teaching life, you MUST make time for all of the other things that make you YOU!



This is more of just one of my favorite beginning of the year products that I purchased a few years ago.  It's great to help kids remember what the directions are and what order they need to be done in.  

Find the full set HERE.  


As a group we are offering an AMAZING BTS prize for one lucky winner - a Silhouette Cameo!  Enter when you head over to the Primary Pack to begin or end the letter collecting!


I am also offering a $10 shopping spree to my store!  Enter using the Rafflecopter below!
