Teaching With Style {november}

Hey gals!

I'm going to just go with it and do another Teaching with Style

link-up!

I do hope more of you post your favorite fall outfit and

link up because its so much fun to get ideas from other

teachers.

Because if its a favorite outfit of a fellow teacher, you know it

will be cute AND comfortable {a must for those long, cold days!}.

Here's a look I love...the picture was taken by my sister during a

fall photo session.

She's a nurse, but photography has become a hobby and she's

getting so good! I'm so excited to have my own personal

photographer now {ha!}.

I've scored some pretty cute boots at Payless this fall and

at reasonable prices, too. If you need boots, check them out!

Now its your turn to link up below!
Happy Thanksgiving!  :)

 

Handwriting Help!

To help some of my kiddos who are struggling with

correct letter formation and handwriting,

I created these activities to give some hands-on

and FUN practice!

{and my 3 1/2 year old is loving them too!!!}

Here's a preview of the pack and then some pictures

of them in action!

 

 You can check out my Handwriting Strategies pack in my

TpT shop here!

One lucky reader will win a free copy of this pack by leaving

a comment telling me any tips you have on having a student

teacher. I'm SO excited to have my first student teacher

next semester...so I'd love to hear any advice y'all got for me. :)

I'll randomly pick one commenter and the winner will be revealed

in my next post!

{which I plan on being my next teaching with style linky}

November Intervention and Freebie!

Holy cow, its November already?!?!

Doesn't seem possible.

Just wanted to share with you that my

November Math Intervention Pack is

in my TpT shop now.

I loved using my October pack with my small

group last month, so this might just become a 

regular thing. :)

Here's a little preview...

 

I like to keep a lot of the pages in a binder with sheet protectors,

{for oral practice and practice with dry erase markers}

so I include a cover page to slide into the front of the binder.

 

 There are several missing number pages including

what number comes before, between, and after.

 

 Large, part-part whole mats are included too.

{November themed of course!}

 

 Some basic number identification...

 

 Numeral and number word cards for matching, sorting

odd/even, number order, etc...

 

 Handwriting practice!

{Laminate or stick in sheet protectors for dry erase

marker practice}

Blackline masters are also included :)

 

 You can pick this up in my shop here.

And, here's a little freebie for you from this pack!

Click on the pic to download.

I'm also gearing up to do another Teaching With Style

linky party...hopefully get that up and going towards the end

of the week. I'll leave the linky party open all month so start

taking some pics!

Click here to see the first one I did :)

 

join the party! {and win!}

Hey guys!

Hope you are having a great week. I'm busy testing

for the end of the quarter and then conferences are just

around the corner.

BUT, we are still managing to have fun in first grade

despite all the testing!

Don't forget you can still join my Teaching With Style linky party!

 

 

 

No one has linked up yet :(

I know we are all SOOOOOO busy so I'm not taking it personally,

but I would love to see what y'all wear to work! {is that weird?!}

How do you show your own personal style while keeping

it comfortable?!?

I'll randomly choose one person who links up, to

pick 2 items from my TpT shop for free!

Soooo, tomorrow morning, snap a pic of yourself and blog

about it. You know you want to!

Teaching with Style {linky party}

Hey y'all!

I've been thinking about hosting a linky party for a while,

inspired by my love for pinterest and putting together cute outfits for work!

I've always loved shopping and putting outfits together, but

I've never been really good at it!

Since I'm such a visual learner, those polyvore boards on

pinterest give me so much inspiration for my style!

I've even started a pinterest board for my work style....you can follow it here.

I love seeing what kind of outfits my friends, fellow teachers, and bloggy

friends put together!

I first came up with the idea of a style linky party for teachers when

Kelly started her Fashion Friday posts!

She has so many cute ideas for accessorizing her clothing. :)

And I'm also LOVING Abby and Rebecca's new series

called Teacher Chic Tuesdays. They are so adorable and I'm such

a huge fan of Abby's thrifty ways.

{anyone else a fan of thrifting?!? I love a good treasure hunt!}

So....the idea behind this linky party is to share a pic of you
showing off your trendy and cute style for teaching!

You don't have to be a model or a size 2 to link up and show

off your style! {i'm defnitely not}

Take a break from all the books, lesson plans, & grading and

have a little style fun!

Here's a few pics of what I've been wearing recently...

Can't get enough of my color jeans!

This dress is actually one-shoulder, that I bought this summer. I love

taking dresses into the fall by adding leggings...very comfortable.

Now, its your turn! Grab my Teaching with Style pic above, link up, and share a 

post about your own style. 

Please don't feel you need to make a photo collage or do anything

fancy. I've just been playing around with photo layouts in photoshop

recently and can't help myself. :)

The linky will be open for about a week so remember to snap a picture 

of your favorite outfit over the next week.

Can't wait to see what you've been wearing!

BOO print {and Halloween giveaway!}
