Back to School Sale!!

Mark your calendars - TpT's annual back to school sale is *finally* here! I know that I have a HUGE list of goodies in my shopping cart ready to go! 

Everything in my store is 28% off when you use the promo code BTS13!!

I'm also joining in on this super fun "Best and Most" linky from Bunting, Books, and Bainbridge!

In the meantime, I've been working my tail off in my BRAND-NEW classroom this week! I've worked in my room (and planned with my new teammates!) every day since Sunday. I'll do my big classroom reveal next week when it's finally completed (waiting on a big order from Really Good Stuff to come in!) but I've had lots of compliments so far.

Just so you can see what I've been working on lately, before pictures of my new classroom:

I can't wait for my big classroom reveal next week!!

A sale and a freebie!

Just for fun, I'm throwing a TpT sale for St. Patty's Day! Everything is 20% off Sunday only!

Now, onto the freebie! It's that time of year when my students are getting antsy and needing a review of rules and expectations. We do everything in my class to positively promote good behavior- earn beads in a jar (full jar = a reward!), pass out "Super Citizen Awards" (which I have as a freebie here), earn table points, etc. 

I really wanted a way to recognize a few students each week who went above and beyond in class, but always ran out of time at the end of the day to write personalized notes home, so I created this "Star Student" award. It's designed to print two to a page to conserve paper. I print it out on neon-colored paper to make it flashy and comment throughout the week when the kids are getting crazy, "hmm...I wonder who'll be a Star Student this week." I still left space for some personalization, because I think that's important.
