New Products posted!

I've been adding some new products to my Dr. Seuss Collection - Check them out!

 First up is my Colors of Dr. S Hall Pass Station.  These passes were sized to fit in lanyard pockets so your students can be handsfree with their passes.  

Below you'll see my suggestion for how to set up that station.  I also included a larger, more traditional style pass.

You can purchase the badges and lanyard at Staples, Office Max, or if you're like me... ask your principal to order you some from the district warehouse!  Shh...

 I am IN LOVE with this birthday kit!  It comes with all the months printed on large cupcakes, bookmarks, birthday card & a certificate for the kids, and decorations for you to make a sweet display.

In the kit are balloon toppers that are editable and you can put your student's names on them and attack them to a silly straw or something similar.  The birthday certificate is also editable so you can type in your student's information.


Dollar Deal!  My Dr. S labels are so versatile!  You can use them for your book bins, as nametags, supply labels, you name it!  Included are the three labels and they come four to a page in PowerPoint format so that you can add your text.  I've also included the labels in PNG format so you can resize them as needed.  :)



Next up is my theme for next year!  I really wanted to do this for the current school year, but I honestly just ran out of time.  :(  So now I'm slowly getting everything made so that I'll be ready for next year!  I want neons and animal prints and old 80's movie posters!  LOL!



First up, a FREEBIE!  Neon & Black Whole Brain Teaching Rules & Bonus Poster!

Arent these cute!?!?  I think after I print I will post them on some bright purple paper with a checkered or zebra border...  Zebra seems to be everywhere now!


Next are my Awesome 80's Nametags!  LOVE!!!

I can't wait to finish up this theme!  I've already ordered some neon bins from Really Good Stuff to go with my theme.  So excited!

New Seussy Product - Color Posters


I've just uploaded a new product, The Colors of Dr. Seuss Color Posters!  This has been requested several times and I hope they're what you were after!'

The file includes 11 colors:  red, orange, yellow, green, blue, pink, purple, brown, gray (and grey), black, and white.  Each color comes with 6 coordinating picture cards.  



These cute little cards can be used to introduce colors, as a sorting center, on a bulletin board, or along the bottom of your whiteboard!  The large cards measure approximately 7 inches and the picture cards are about 3.5 inches.



 These are so adorable, it makes me wish I taught primary, lol.  My husband actually suggested that we print these our two year old and decorate his room.  Hmmm, a Dr. Seuss bedroom?  I could do that....

I'm planning on making some more fun Dr. Seuss products, so if you have any suggestions please leave a comment!

What we're up to - Geometry!

We are having so much fun in math this week!  One of my favorite topics to teach is GEOMETRY!  We're working on the basics first - lines, rays, and angles.  Next we'll be moving into triangles and quadrilaterals.  Below are some pics of what we're doing!


I introduce the topic of points and lines with a science connection to stars and constellations, a 4th grade science topic here in Florida.  Next, we read one of the myths of Orion and wrote about it.  My students had to write from the point of view of Orion's father.

 Next we went over some basic vocabulary with a PowerPoint and notebook page.  BTW - isn't this the neatest handwriting from a boy ever???

Afterwards, we did some practicing, centers, and took our quiz.  You can get all the resources from our day one lesson for FREE here.  :)



The next day we looked at specific kinds of lines.


I used long wrapping paper tubes to model the three kinds of lines and then the students used their organizer to create their own definitions.




I think they did a really good job with these!

Afterwards, we did a project I called Alphabet Soup!  I used our poster-maker to enlarge soup cans with different rules on them.  Then students had to sort the different letters of the alphabet and glue down only the letters that followed that rule.



We're having so much fun with this unit!  You can purchase the full unit from my TPT shop here!

Geometry Reference Math Mini-Office

I've out together this mini-office for my 4th graders to use as a reference during math centers.  They were dragging their math books around with them, but that became a bit cumbersome.



I designed the pages to fit a manilla file folder, but I had this pretty blue poster board that I couldn't resist!








This file was designed to coordinate with the fourth grade common core standards, but it could be used for higher third graders or remedial fifth graders.
