St. Patrick's Day Unit {Common Core Aligned}

20% off this weekend ONLY.......

I've finally compiled my St. Patrick's Day Unit! I'm so excited about this unit.  As we started the Common Core last year, I started aligning all of my thematic units to it.  So, this will make you and your Admin happy, happy, happy {love Duck Dynasty}!

I have this little craftivity in the Unit. It's a great for the CCSS opinion writing, too!

This HUGE pack {91 pages} is full of fun, meaningful activities!  It's available in color and black/white! This Common Core aligned St. Patrick’s Day Unit has everything you need to integrate this fun holiday with math and literacy! Each activity has variations to meet the CCSS for kinder, 1st, and 2nd grade.

I also change my "Centers for March 2nd" to comply with the ridiculous copyright/trademark regulations that Seuss Enterprises have.  Now, my "Centers for March 2nd" are "circus" themed. I'm using these centers next week! If you bought my "Centers for March 2nd" last year, do not buy this packet! :) Check them out {here}. It's also on sale only this weekend!

I'll leave you with this {and if you have no idea what Duck Dynasty is then I suggest you find out ASAP :) }....

Management Monday!

This is a management tip brought to you by the one, the only........

Ok, well not really! It's from me, but Dr. Seuss was a big influence!


During my Dr. Seuss unit (yes, I do a unit- and yes, I'm going to share it with you later today), I use a Cat in the Hat stuffed animal for a management tool.

I tell the kiddos that if they work quietly during independent work time, then Cat in the Hat might be put on their desk! They can read to him, sit him on their lap while they work...but they can't disrupt anyone with him.  If you lay out clear expectations before, they will do just fine. {You don't have to use a Cat in the Hat...any stuffed animal will do the same thing}

I promise you, your class will be SILENT all week.  Almost a little too silent. :)

I bought this Cat in the Hat at Kohl's
