Working on my next Follower Freebie: Monster Math Match

Remember this post about Follower Freebies, in other words - getting a FREE kit each month when you follow my store at Teachers Pay Teachers?  If not, you can check it out here:  Follower Freebies

Last month I gave away this Follower Freebie:

It's too late to get this one for free, but it will go up for sale at TPT in mid-October when my new Follower Freebie comes up.  

Want to see the Follower Freebie for October?  Here's a peek:

It's a math packet that includes numbers 0-10 (with 6 cards per number).  It has number cards, number word cards, counting cards, ten frame cards, tally mark cards and addition cards. 

It's great for K-2 since you can use all of the cards or just the cards appropriate for your grade level or student needs.

For example, Kindergarten could just use the number and counting cards at the beginning of the year and add ten frames later or even some addition or word cards for higher students.

First Grade could use all of the cards or start with some sets and add more as concepts are introduced.

Second Grade could use all of the cards together at the beginning and throughout the year.

So, if you haven't followed me on Teachers Pay Teachers, click on this link (Follower Freebies) for step by step directions and this new kit will be sent to your inbox around the 16th of October!!!

I've also just added a new BUNDLE to my store:

Save $2.00 when you buy both kits in a bundle!

It includes 164 pages of sight word resources, games, 

rewards and more!!!

Here's a closer look at some of the things included:

I've just added a new item to Teachers Pay Teachershttps://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Cindy-Gilchrist!  This item includes TWO sets of Daily Five posters with our friend, Pete The Cat (AKA The "Blue Cat") since we are not to refer to him by name on Teachers Pay Teachers :)

One set of posters has blue and red chevron backgrounds and the other set has colorful chevron backgrounds.  You choose - both sets are included!!!

MORE Superheroes!!! Just added a 130 Page Kit of Sight Word Games, Activities, and Resources and a SALE!!!!

I have just added a NEW Superhero Add-On Kit to go with my original Superhero Sight Words Kit!!!

It has 130 Pages of Sight Word Resources, Games, and Activities!!!!!!

Includes all 220 Dolch sight words. Sight words are broken down into five lists (included). When one list is mastered, students progress to the next list. This kit has:

• Student Sight Word Take-Home Books. You can start off the books with the first list and add a new list each time one is mastered. These are printed 2 to a page and include covers in color and black and white. (7 pages)

• Teacher Record Sheets of all 220 sight words that correlate to the five lists. This can be used for tracking student progress for your records, RTI, etc… (3 pages)

• Read It, Build It, Write It: Superhero Edition! This is one of my most popular kits on TPT and it is included with a superhero theme. Includes the Read It, Build It, Write It mat (make as many copies as you’d like) and 220 Dolch sight word cards to use with the mats. Cards also correlate with the five lists. The mat(s) can be laminated or put into page protectors to use with a dry erase marker. (21 pages)

• Dolch Fluency Phrases Books. Students increase fluency by practicing sight words in phrases. Each book correlates with one of the five lists. Books are easy to assemble or can be stored in baggies instead of being made into books. (34 pages)

• Five Superhero Sight Word Card Games. All 220 Dolch sight words are included. Each game correlates to one of the five lists. My students LOVE these games!!!! (60 pages)

• Superhero Roll and Read. All you need are dice. There are five different sheets that correlate to the five lists. Students roll a die and read a word from the column that has the same number as the die. These can be laminated or put into page protectors. I have students use a dry erase marker and mark off the word after they read it so they will chose another word when that land on that column again. (5 pages).

Now, not only is this kit a BARGAIN (130 pages for $6), I HAVE IT ON SALE THROUGH SUNDAY (10/14/14) FOR 20% OFF!!!!

And......

I have the first Superhero Sight Words Kit On Sale TOO!!!!!

Sight Words Superhero! Everything You Need to Motivate and Reward Students!

Don't Forget.....The Sale Ends Sunday!!!

WOO-HOO! Sight Word SUPERHEROES!!!

I feel like I've just given birth!  I have worked on this kit so much - it was a lot of "labor"!  Anyway, I am so excited to show you my new kit:  Sight Word Superheroes!!!

This kit has over 30 pages to help you encourage, motivate, celebrate, and reward your students for increasing sight word recognition.

This kit has:

**5 page story/introduction to motivate students to become “Sight Word Superheroes”! This can be printed or projected right from your computer (no printing needed).

**Membership Cards (wallet-sized). Students will become “Official Sight Words Superhero Members”. Two membership card styles to choose from, both are in your choice of color or black and white.

**“I Can” statement printables for Kindergarten, First Grade and Second Grade.

**Bulletin Board or Wall Display printables: “We are Sight Word Superheroes” sign, superhero boys and girls with space to write student names, starbursts to write the number of sight words they have mastered. Display ideas included.

**Award Certificates (8.5 x 5.5). Boy and girl awards available. Award Certificates are printed with the following choices: 50, 100, 150, 200, 220 (or blank) # of words.

**Superhero Mask and Superhero Tiara printables. Print and cut to make a Superhero mask and Tiara to use for photo props. Take a photo with students wearing their choice of mask or tiara and display the photos with the bulletin board/Wall Display printables. So Cute!!! I just make one mask and one tiara use the same one all year for photos. The mask and tiara are also available in a black line copy so students can color their own mask or tiara. You could give students the “color your own” mask or tiara for rewards when goals are met or at the beginning when introducing the Sight Words Superhero “membership”.

**Rewards for reaching goals: Lollipop “capes”! Cut out the capes and punch hole to slide on a lollipop stick (photos and directions included – easy to assemble!). When students reach their goals, reward them with a “superpop”!

AND.....If you are evaluated with the Marzano Teacher Evaluation Model, this kit will meet elements in:
Design Question #1: What will I do to establish and communicate learning goals, track student progress, and celebrate success?
Tracking Student Progress: The bulletin board/wall display shows student progress
Celebrating Success: Award Certificates, Photos, Bulletin Board display, Rewards….everything in this kit pretty much meets this element!

LOTS of new things! I've been busy! Bundles and Revised Writing Center!!

I was REALLY busy over Labor Day weekend!  I've been updating, revising, and bundling products for my Teachers Pay Teachers store. Whew!

The good news is that you can save some money :)  I like to keep my prices low in my store.  As teachers, we spend too much money as it is.  I decided, in addition to keeping prices on individual products low, to bundle some of my best selling products and offer the bundles at an even lower price.  Of course, you can still get the individual products too.

Another big thing, I updated, revised and added a LOT to my best selling item - My Writing Center.  The file has gone from 21 pages to 39 pages!  I added more, differentiated samples and templates for student work.  I also updated the fonts and made things pretty :)
