Egg-speriments Mini Unit and B2S Sale!

Well folks, I have to say that my newest creation is becoming my favorite of all time! I am SOOOO stoked to use these activities with my upcoming class!

Science is always so much fun and if you can capture their attention and strike awe in the faces, then you have a done a job well done! When I did the egg squeeze last year with my students, they were dumbfounded and amazed and inquisitive and I was overjoyed at their eagerness. I thought, what better way to start off the year in science than with a whole unit full of "egg"tivities that would capture their young minds just like that.

This set includes several "egg"tivities and "egg"speriments that will help you teach the scientific method while sparking their interest in the subject of science.

Take a look...

I designed all of the egg-speriment pages to print two to a page so you could easily paste them into science notebooks {composition books}.

This project could be used as the culminating activity to the mini unit. I think your students will be EGG-cited to tackle Mission Egg-Possible!

It is available in my TPT shop. Just click the link below to head over and snag yourself a copy {which will be up to 28% off starting tomorrow!}

And Don't forget the annual TPT back to school sale starts TOMORROW!!!

Back to School Sale and a Sneak Peek!

The TPT Back to School sale is just around the corner! I've been filling up my cart for weeks and I am SO excited for all my new goodies!

The deets...

Thanks Krista for the adorable sale sign!!

I've had this idea swirling around in my head for weeks to put together a little scientific method mini unit to coincide with our beginning of the year Egg-speriments and I am so EGGSTATIC about it!

We always start the year with the Egg Squeeze and Egg Float to get students thinking about the scientific method, but I wanted to add more depth and correlate it more with the steps of the Scientific Method so this should be coming to you this weekend!

I think I posted about the Egg Float last year. You can view that post HERE!

Here's a sneak peek!

What do you guys think??

Teacher Week 2013 {Now Teach: Organizing for Instruction}

It's day 3 of Teacher Week and today is all about organizing our classrooms!

I am far from the final product so many of these pictures are just small projects I've been working {many unfinished} but I had to participate anyway! I will be updating everyone with the final product next week, but in the meantime, here are some tips for organizing your classrooms!

{That ugly green color caddy bugs me so I have NEON ones coming soon! I also plan on printing pretty labels for my plastic drawers.}

I took all of the leveled reader lesson plans and organized them by Fountas and Pinnell level to keep in a binder for easy access! It has been a HUGE time saver!

I have new plans for my meet the teacher handbook for this year...

Oh my-lanta, I'm in love with this! =) Just click the image above for the TPT link!

Now head over to Blog Hoppin' to link up with your organizational ideas so I can snag em'! ;)

Teacher Week 2013 {Classroom Digs}

It's time to check out my classroom abode!

It's nowhere near being complete but I am going to post some photos of what I have comning along so far! I will be posting my final reveal next week!

In the meantime, here are some projects and things I have going on. Many of these things may look familiar as I am sticking with last years NEON theme! =)

These two items are new additions to my classroom theme this year and I love them!!

I used my same bulletin board borders as last year but I added some Cameo cut out letters for each subject area. I am in love with the way they turned out!
