Some NO PREP Digital Resources to Use in Writing in the New Year
It's Winter Break for us officially! It's time to relax, BUT before I check out mentally for this holiday season, I am thinking ahead to the New Year. I like to have some things planned out or in my back pocket for when I change my mind, which is OFTEN when I go back to school.
Here are some popular and NO PREP Digital Resources to use for the New Year, as well as some EASY printable resources to prep. Don't worry, if it's printable it is an EASY activity that you can print and go. I am not into using a lot of brain power after a break so I need something that is easy.
Writing Resources for the New Year
Teach your students to write better sentences with this Digital Google Assignment. Graphic organizers, short example sentences for students to change into longer ones, rubric, and Author at Work poster are just some of the things included. Great for expanding a lesson in your classroom in the New Year!
I love this Writing Bundle for Minecraft. If you don't want the bundle I have both of these in print and digital. This is an EASY and NO PREP station activity or whole group/partner writing fun. Background scenes, characters to drag, and digital editing checklist. Perfect for ANY grade for getting even those reluctant writers a chance to explore something new.
This journal is perfect for a EASY prep for your classroom. I LOVE the editable prompts to tailor needs. Think about editing the prompt for something specific from a field trip, guest speaker, a unit you've just completed in science or social studies, or even a class read aloud! I love have these as a station activity or a take home for working on writing.
This last writing activity is just something that is super FUN for a great creative writing activity. This is not digital, but very low prep to get your students writing creatively. Don't let the Holiday thing deter you. This pack has a TON of winter characters, not just holiday. Students choose what they want to write about after the creation whether it's a poem, short story, letter, or jokes!

Have a great holiday and I'll be back in the New Year!

It's Time for Fall Fun
It's after September 1st and even though that's not the "official" date of fall, I count it as the start. It is time to break out the pumpkins, apples, and cozy blankets! We celebrate fall at our school, but I do love that holiday at the end of October too. Get ready for fall!
Here are some of my Fall Mini Math Mysteries! These are perfect for stations, independent work at home or at school, or just a fun break. The BEST part is that the Fall Mysteries are FREE!
*I do have a non-narration version available too on TPT.
They are bundled with both digital and print versions.
For those young kiddos I have a fun Fall Journal!
How are you celebrating fall? Cozy up and solve a mystery!

All Work and No Play?
Howdy y'all! I have a little goodie for my kindergarten and first grade friends. It's a writing journal! Check {it} out!
I have a question for you. Do you make all sorts of plans for everything you're going to do over the summer, and then never get them done? That's me.
Last Tuesday I had a quick visit with my sister from Idaho. She was staying with my mom in Michigan, and drove down to visit the rest of the family. Well, on Thursday, as I was sitting at McDonald's with my 3/4 unsweetened/1/4 sweetened tea, I thought, I want to see more of Sabrina! You may even know her! If not, go take a spin on her blog {A Space to Create}. She is an awesome art teacher and even creates activities for our young'uns that support the Common Core.
So, I called my sister who lives just south of me to see if She and Tina would drive to Michigan with me. I couldn't believe it! They said yes and started pulling it all together. Stephany's awesome and she loves to drive . . . me? . . . not so much!
I kept thinking I should be working right now. I know, I'll just work on the computer during the 6 hour drive! So we took off, listening to some awesome 70s jams as we drove. We stopped at a McDonald's for a potty break, and found out we just missed a terrible hail storm. This is what we saw . . . and apparently the storm ended 20 minutes before we got there! So, we kept on driving . . . the computer still didn't come out. We finally arrived in Ludington, Michigan at about 12:30 a.m.
The next morning, we headed out to find my mom, Sabrina, and Virgil. We didn't really know how we were going to find them because they were already out and about for the day. We decided to look for the green Honda van and about 2 minutes later, we spotted it on the side of the road with Virgil inside. We scoped out the situation and spotted mom and Sabrina. We snuck into the store where they were and asked if we could help them. You should have seen the looks on their faces when they saw us! I only wish we would've had Tina video tape the encounter! It was so funny . . . and Sabrina hit me 5 times! We had a great day and ended it around the fire pit and told lots of childhood secrets and laughed like crazy!
Still haven't gotten the computer out . . . Who cares, right?! We were in gorgeous Michigan with family and friends! Check out some of this gorgeousness!
So turn off the computer and go have some fun! It will help you clear your mind and get more done in the end!
