Breast Cance Awareness Bundles

My friend Lindsay Perro at Teachers Pay Teachers has put together some great ELA and Math bundles for a great price of $25 .  All profits will go to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. I am a huge supporter, as I recently had my own bout with breast cancer.  I had to have a mastectomy on my right breast, and was lucky that my tumor was small enough that I didn't have to have chemo or radiation.  This disease is becoming more prominent every day.  Please be generous!  The bundles will be on sale through October 31st.

The 3rd-5th grade ELA bundle has 29 products at a value of $136, and you can get it for a $25 donation.  I donated my most popular item, Charlotte's Web Book Study and Activity Packet.  It is a value of $10 by itself (Remember, you get 28 more products for a donation of $25).  Here a preview of my book study. You can click on the pic below to get a better description of what is included in this packet:

Thank you for supporting the fight against breast cancer!

Super Saturday YouTube Video of the Week: History of Halloween

I thought it would be fun and informative for my students to watch a video about the origins of Halloween, and how the celebration developed over thousands of years.  The following video has some really great pictures, and the narration is easily understood.

In addition to this great video, I am offering a little Halloween FREEBIE just for you!  It is a set of spooky story maps for your kiddos to enjoy.  Visit my TpT store to pick up your very own copy!

I hope you like them, and Happy Halloween!
  

Super Saturday Educational YouTube Vidoe of the Week : Columbus

Sorry about last week.  I was not able to post a video last week due to plans for the weekend, but now I'm back!  I just love this video about Christopher Columbus. It reminds me of movies we used to watch back when I  was a kid.  It's very entertaining and informative. I hope you and your kiddos like it!

Super Sunday YouTube Educational Video of the Week!

We had a blog hop going on Saturday, so I decided to move my Super Saturday YouTube Educational Video of the Week to Sunday.  This next week in reading we are talking about the "Main Idea" and "Supporting Details." I found this really cute video that explains it with a song from learningupgrade.com. It talks about the main idea and how it fits into a paragraph, so it would be useful in teaching both reading and writing.


 



I hope you enjoy the video on main idea!
