Peek at My Week with a Giveaway

Woohoo it’s almost March!!!

I told my husband this morning that I feel like this winter has frozen me from the inside out. I know all of you are nodding your head in agreement. I have never been so happy to be at recess as I was last week!

This week is all about Fairy Tales. It is one of my favorite units to teach because there are so many literacy activities that you can do with each story. I created this unit last year and it has been extemely popluar ever since it’s been up. I revamped it last week because it was one of my first units and it was just time…

If you make it til the end of the post you have a chance to win it 🙂

This unit is my reading block, writing block and literacy stations for the week. I wish every week was buttoned up nice and neat like this week is. I’ll take one week if I can’t have the other 40.

Here are my plans for the week. You can click on them to see them in google docs. Slide1 Slide2I also created a freebie yesterday that is currently in the making. I’m still not done and that is mostly because I want to see if I need to build on what I already have or if we need to back up and focus more on the concept of equality. Try it out for yourself and let me know how your students do with it!

    Our room theme is Fairy Tales and Nursery Rhymes. I am so excited to have found your TpT area. Now, if some fairy godmother would turn my wallet into a pot of gold, I’d be one happy old princess and buy everything you have created. What great activities.
