Not like a backpack…but a pack for K that is back 🙂 Even though they aren’t technically back since this is the first time they are coming to “big school”. Should have thought that one through…
 I’m deliriously tired right now. I have been so excited about getting this together and using it this year. My obsession with clip art and fonts is now beyond fixing. I should probably have my own intervention.Â
I blogged about sweet Linda and her fabulous clip art a few weeks ago. Her back to school images are the feature of my newest shiniest product…woot woot!
 I just think they are so cute!Â
This is 50 pages to help you get through the first couple of days and maybe even a week or two. The main reason for this bundle is to help me keep all of my thoughts together and organized through the chaos of the beginning of the year. Of course, we’ve done half of the activities already and I haven’t taken a single picture because it is c.r.a.y. up in here. There is a beginning of the year Wednesday Word Problem in here and we did it today. Do you think I took a picture of their work?Â
Nope.
I’d love to share with you (this is included in the pack but thought you might like to try it 🙂 though and I would also love to give away one of these bad boys!
Wednesday Word Problems have been the perfect way to:
1. Make sure we are focusing on Common Core.
2. Promote higher order thinking.Â
I have done Wednesday Word Problems since I started teaching. I can’t tell you how effective they have been. By the end of the year, students are able to locate the information they need in the word problem and solving addition and subtraction problems independently. But I start now…the first week of school. And we do it every week and don’t miss because it’s important and valuable. The kids love getting their clipboard and sitting on the carpet while we think through the problems together every week. Sometimes, we act it out and usually manipulatives are involved.Â
Hi- thanks for the giveaway. Our kiddos return to school after Labor day.

How did it go? Bc I’m exhausted lol
School starts next week for me. I’ve been spending days getting my room ready.
I’m sure it look fabulous!
We are just learning about rules and routines at the moment, and assessing the kids so that we know how to group them. “Real” learning starts next week! 🙂
All I am doing are lots of assessments! It is tiring! But I love my kiddos!
Currently, we are establishing routines, learning our WBT rules, and completing DRA and beginning of the year assessments.\

Getting to know my kids and giving assessments. We do make a few books though and are going to wear our Chicka Chicka Boom Boom hats tomorrow. 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway!
With 13 boys and 6 girls i have my hands full!
Dang girl! I’m sure there’s a lot of movement in your room this year 🙂
Thanks so much for the fun giveaway! I go back to school next week Tuesday, so this weekend will be filled with last-minute preparations and hopefully no crazy, back-to-school dreams!!
