Howdy! I'm officially on spring break and it came at the perfect time. Here in good ol' Kansas this week we will be having highs in the 70's...pefect flip-flop weather! Winning!!!! So...this afternoon I have to trudge down to my basement and find all my spring and summer clothes and so the switching out of the winner clothes begins. :) We are getting ready to begin a unit on shapes which is why I made this book for my kiddos to work on during math workshop. The shapes included in the book are a cone, cube, sphere, cylinder, rectangular prism, and pryamid. They cut out the shapes and paste them on the correct page. Then they write a sentence about the shape. This file is for sale in my TpT shop for here. These are super easy and fast to make. I copy the pages front-to-back and set the copier to staple twice on the left side. Then I can cut them in half with the paper cutter and the booklets will already be stapled and put together! This book goes perfectly with my 3-D Shapes Poster Pack...check it out here! I left my jump drive at school, but luckily its open all week so I'm going to swing by tomorrow and get it so I can share a freebie with you all tomorrow! It's a worksheet to review edges, faces, and vertices of 3-D shapes. \

If you're looking for a way to get your students excited about read alouds, you need to introduce mystery readers! The excitement is adorable, especially when a child realizes the mystery reader is someone they know. What IS a Mystery Reader? At the beginning of the year, you'll send out information asking each family to try and come in to read to your class. It can be a parent, a relative, a close family friend. They'll sign up for a date, and fill out 3 clues about themselves, so that the day of the mystery reader you can read the clues aloud and see if the class can figure out who the mystery reader "belongs to". BUT you keep the identity completely secret until they walk in the door! This Kit Includes: -an invitation letter and sign up form -a reminder slip with 3 fillable clues -a monthly sign up booklet to keep you organized -a cute poster to display the day of mystery reads to get your class excited -thank you cards for your mystery readers *This comes as a PDF and as a PowerPoint so that you can make edits to the forms or write in dates.

A quiet time is a sacred pause in the day's hustle, where you disconnect from screens and noise to reconnect with yourself through reflection, favorite activities, and solitude, emerging refreshed and grounded. It's a deliberate act of self-care, allowing you to step away from the constant demands of technology and social interaction. During this period, you might engage in meditation, journaling, reading, or any activity that brings you joy and peace. This intentional break from the outside world helps clear your mind, recharge your emotional batteries, and provides a valuable opportunity for personal growth and introspection. By regularly practicing quiet time, you cultivate a deeper sense of self-awareness and inner calm, better equipping you to navigate life's challenges with resilience and clarity. The Quiet Time Co. features all of the types of products that founder Sara considers essential for the perfect quiet time and hopes that you'll find something that helps create the perfect quiet time for you, too! The recipe for a perfect quiet time: - your favorite drink in your favorite drinkware - your favorite journal or book - your favorite mellow music or ambience sounds - your favorite scent and lighting: a candle, a warmly lit lamp, incense, essential oil diffuser, etc. - a cozy place to sit somewhere you're less likely to be disturbed - your phone set to do not disturb or sounds off We hope you have the down time you deserve!
