Christmas in July {SALE} - Christmas Products

Today is the last day of the Christmas in July sale in my TPT Store. What better way to wrap it up than 20% off all Christmas products?? These are some of my favorites in my store and my classroom.

I wanted to focus on Christmas Writing Prompts because these are my favorite! These writing prompts are super fun and full of holiday spirit. There are how-to prompts, fictional writing, and responding to questions prompts - a variety of options!

Also, I put December Morning Work back on sale since it is, after all, full of Christmas spirit as well as academic content! Also check out Snowy Subject-Verb Agreement for some wintery grammar practice.

Thanks for being so great during this sale!

Christmas in July {SALE} - Morning Work

It's the first part of my Christmas in July Sale event!

Aren't those precious first moments in the classroom crucial?! And if your classroom is anything like mine, those moments are filled with attendance, parents, notes, checking folders, about a thousand questions or stories from the kiddos, and getting the day started! How is one person supposed to handle of that??

It got overwhelming for me, so I turned to these morning work packs to help me keep my sanity!

Each sheet has 7 problems that match Common Core standards. August Morning Work focuses more on easy review/1st grade skills to ease those summer brains back into school mode. :) These pages do not have page numbers, so you can put them in any order you choose! 

I printed one page for each school day of that month, and I copied them two-sided. Each child had a "Morning Work Folder" to hold the hole-punched pages.  After unpacking backpacks, the kids would grab breakfast (our school had a grant) and start the next page in their folder. I would check the page before we started our day. I checked them because 1) it held the students accountable for completing the work and 2) it showed me which students needed more support or what skills we needed to review later in the day. 

I have bundled the 1st semester morning work packs for BIG savings! AND it's on sale during my Christmas in July Sale event! Just click on the image to take you there :)

Be sure to come back for the other two parts of the sale. Happy shopping!

Christmas in July {SALE}!

I'm back!

It's been a crazy few months around here because....
1) My husband matched into a pediatric residency in Little Rock, Arkansas!
2) We moved from Alabama to Arkansas.
3) I had to leave my 2nd grade position :(
4) I got a new job in 4th grade! :)
5) We bought a house!

See? I told you ---> craziness!

Now that we have a functioning house (it's beautiful!), hubs has started his new job (he finally gets paid!), and I have a few weeks until school starts (eek!), I can get back into the blogging world!

Since I won't have 2nd grade sweeties anymore, I changed my blog/TPT name to a more generic elementary name - Cecil Classroom Creations! And to celebrate all of these new and exciting changes, I'm throwing a sale! {{Not just any sale, but a "Christmas in July" sale!}}

There will be 3 different sales this week. Come back to the blog for each sale to see what the products for sale are and how I use them in my classroom.

The wonderful people of Blog Hoppin' are throwing a Christmas in July sale, so be sure to go check it out!
