[Emergency Sub Plans] [CureSearch]

A giant thanks heading out to those of you that have purchased items from my Teacher's Notebook shop over the past week!

Our family sincerely appreciates your support!

 

Today's item took a LOT longer than I had planned for it to take.

However, the finished product is exactly what I'd hoped!

 

There have been a few times in my career that I've seriously been too ill to go to school to make detailed sub plans.

I've sent e-mails to my colleagues asking them to print off my plans and copies and get everything ready for me.

They willingly ablige, but I feel guilty for the entire day (and most of the next week) knowing that I added stress to their morning.

 

And now, with everything that's going on with Kenton, I've felt for a while that I needed to have something that was sub ready just in case.

 

Introducing my first set of EMERGENCY SUB PLANS!  :)

 

This set is focused around the book My Friend is Sad, and Elephant and Piggie book by
Mo Willems.

 

  Emergency Sub Plans feature activities in math, fact discovery and recording, writing (with a rubric!), spelling, reading comprehension, and PE.

22 pages that you just need to print off, make copies for your class, purchase the book, and BAM! Sub Plans for the day ready to go.

$5.00 at Teacher's Notebook.

On sale at a 25% discount through November 15.

 

My heartfelt gratitude goes out to Steve and Debbie at Teacher's Notebook, who in their own time of need dealing with Superstorm Sandy, generously offered to match all purchases made in my shop with a donation to CureSearch in Kenton's name.

 

THANK YOU for sticking with me and my sporadic postings.

I'd promise to do better, but well, that's just a promise I am not able to make.

I'll be here when I can with new and fun stuff.

Have a great Friday and a fantastic weekend!!

Thank you so much for your support for our family through purchases at Teacher's Notebook!  I am so excited about the donation to be made to CureSearch in Kenton's name.  I can't even explain what this means to our family!

 

Kenton is improving each day.  As soon as his platelets cooperate and stick around for 2 days in a row, he'll be released from PCMC!!

He and Luke will remain in SLC for the rest of the 100 days post transplant.

McKayslin and I will spend our weekends with them.

We sure love our weekends!

We've learned so much about our family through this journey.

Please consider stopping by the Team Kenton blog to keep up on Kenton's progress and our family's journey as we continue working to find happiness during heartbreak.

 

Now, for today's activity.

Incognito Sums.

I LOVE THIS ONE!

 

Our district adopted Go Math! this year.

I absolutely adore Go Math!

One of the things I love the very most is that it really gives us, as teachers, ways to help our students develop thinking strategies in regards to mathematics.

We have lots of practice - and much of the fact practice uses "backwards" facts (ie: facts that have the sum on the left instead of on the right).

This.is.tricky.  :)

 

So. . .after a bit of encouragement from Dana (thanks, Dana!), I sat down and created

Incognito Sums!

$3 at Teacher's Notebook.

25% off through November 15.

 

I hope your kiddos love this game!

See you Tuesday!

THANKS AGAIN!!!

[CureSearch] [Teacher's Notebook] [November Reading_Handwriting Fluency]

November 2.

Day 2 of the Pediatric Cancer Awareness Sale in my shop.

 

Up today. . .the November Reading_Handwriting Fluency Pack.

I love using these in my classroom.

I'm amazed as I see the progress in my students' handwriting and their willingness and ability to read difficult passages.

 

The November Pack is only $2 at Teacher's Notebook.

 

But. . .it's on sale at a 25% discount through November 15.

So you can get the 4 passage pack (enough passages to use one a week for the month of November) for only $1.50!!

 

But, that's not even the best part!

For me, the very best part is what Steve and Debbie at Teacher's Notebook are going to do with every purchase made in my shop from November 1 - November 15!

They have offered to donate MATCHING FUNDS of every sale in my shop over those 14 days to CureSearch - the leading pediatric cancer research foundation - in Kenton's name.

Do you realize what this means for children suffering through pediatric cancer?!

CureSearch uses 97 cents of every dollar donated directly in research of pediatric cancer.

NINETY-SEVEN CENTS!!!

I genuinely appreciate every single sale, not only because your purchases will be providing Christmas for my children this year, but because for the next 14 days, your purchases will be providing funding for the one thing that has been our family's heartbreak over the past 4 months.

My heartfelt appreciation goes out to Steve and Debbie for their willingness to spread the word about pediatric cancer and to donate to CureSearch!

Please join us.

Be part of the cure.

Thank you!
