Favorite Finds

I'm linking up with Ladybug's teacher files. She wants us to tell her about our favorite teacher finds.

 

My favorite place to shop before the new school year is Star Fall. They have the best practice books with journal prompts. I buy these every year. 

Have you used these pencils??? I have to say these are the BEST pencils by far that I have ever used. I seriously order about a 1,000 every year. They hardly ever break and the tip is in the middle of the pencil. I've bought other pencils that the tips are constantly breaking or the lead isn't in the center of the pencil and it never sharpens quite right.

I love this journal. It has blank writing pages with an area to have them draw a caption.

This is such a nice dictionary. I have students write words they can't spell  and they can use it as a reference later when they are doing writer's workshop.

I've mentioned these in a previous post but I just think they 're hilarious

This is the BEST pencil sharpener. It is quiet and it sharpens the pencils better than any pencil sharpener I have used before. I can't wait to find out what other teacher finds there are. You should link up too.

Blogger

This may be the dumbest question ever...... I've noticed when others are leaving comments it automatically leaves their blog address. How do you do that?? I've been a blogger for sometime now. I do it mostly for my family. Kind of a way to scrapbook my little ones lives. Every two years I turn my family blog into a book for my children as a keepsake for them as they get older. Anywhoooo I feel like I have figured a lot out about Blogger. However I have looked everywhere and I can't seem to figure this one out. Can anyone help me out on this one?

Free Place Value Hula Hoop activity

I shouldn't be posting twice in one day. I created a place value game. Oh and it's FREE!!!I actually play this game with my students every year but I made some cuter cards to go with it. I place hula hoops all over my classroom. then I give each of my students a card. When I say go, They have to find their group that has the same number. The first group to get all their members puts the hula hoop around them. Then I know I can walk over and check to make sure they have found everyone in their group. This is such a fun activity. My students love it. I hope your students will too. I wish I could take pictures of it but I'm on summer break. Please let me know if you find this useful.  If you click on the words or picture it will take you to the cards. Have a blessed day!
