Hopefully today's post finds you either settled in nicely to your new school year or getting excited about going back. Either way, the TpT giant BACK TO SCHOOL SALE is happening this weekend...Sunday and Monday, Aug. 18th and 19th. Be sure to visit your favorite stores and grab items for as much as 28% off. I put EVERYTHING in my store on sale. Be sure to check out a real steal on the BRAND NEW Accountable Talk Prompts. There are 24 accountable talk stems that are sure to keep students engaged in the text...a goal of Common Core. *Don't forget to use the PROMO CODE. Sellers will mark most of their items 20% off. You'll get the additional 8% by using the PROMO code! (See the beautiful button created by the very talented Krista Wallden at Creative Clips for PROMO code...Thank you, Krista!) Teaching multiplication this year? Be sure to grab my latest FREEBIE...Multiplication Facts Freezer Frenzy! My way of saying THANK YOU for your never ending friendship and support in the blogging world! As students learn their facts, let them earn and add the corresponding ice cream to their base cone. As a REAL incentive, I bought my students an ice cream from the cafeteria when they mastered all their facts! Hmmmm....thinking I'll make a trip to Baskin Robbins tonight! :-) Bananas for incredible deals on TpT this weekend! Happy Shopping!
