Updates galore and a NEW unit!

Hey friends! I've been so busy creating a new pack and I'm excited to share it with you! In this unit, students will learn all of the features included in an informational report and discover just how writers learn about a topic in order to write! I have filled this mini unit full of anchor charts, writing pages, a check list, bubble map, and MORE. And what's even better is...it's all aligned with Common Core! Our district is requiring us to have an actual research PIECE to place in our students' on going review folders, and this unit is going to help me do just that. You must check it out!
Not only have I created the Explore Informational Reports pack, I have updated a TON of my old units. I reviewed a few of them and it was almost embarrassing at how my packs looked. HA They needed a new look, new fonts, new clip art, etc. If you have purchased any of the units from me below, please visit my TpT store to download the newest version or click on the unit covers below.
Also, I've revamped a few of my free units too! If you've snagged the MLK or Groundhog unit from my store...be sure to visit and grab the latest versions of those to put away for next year. Thanks for all your love and support. Happy Saturday!

Hoping for a snow day and a Homework Pack

Hey friends. I know several of you all have been asking...when will your Feb. homework pack be finished?! While, I tend to work better under pressure and procrastination is my middle name.....Katie and I want you to know, we had the pack posted last night - and with 1 day to spare before Feb!  How's that for a timely manner? I'm rather proud of us, because usually it's the day of! ha Anyways, this month's packet is packed with GREAT activities. You'll find themes that include: Groundhog Day, President's Day, Dental Health, Valentine's Day, and much more. Our pack is normally $8 but because we appreciate your patience and your continued support (not to mention, we love ya'll)....it's marked down to $6 through this weekend. Here's a sneak peek of what to expect...
As always, we appreciate your positive feedback and wonderful suggestions. We have been so pleased with how these have gone over and have had fun putting them together. Hop on over to Katie's store and check it out. If you've not implemented these in your classroom, this month would be a great time to start! Here's hoping for a snow day tomorrow...I'm off to flush an ice cube and place a spoon under my pillow!! ;)
