TPT Sale

I just love when TPT throws a sale!! I have my cart all stocked up with clip art to help me create some new things for my students!  We are easing ourselves into using a more Blended Learning approach in my classroom, so many of the clip art packs that I’m purchasing during this sale will help me create some cool BL things online for my kiddos.

Here’s the info you’ll need for the sale:

Here are a few of my most favorite December-ish products. 🙂

The brown Gingerbread Man unit that you see near the top on the right is my ABSOLUTE favorite!! We spend 2 weeks chasing the Gingerbread Man all over the world, learning about different celebrations in various countries.  Almost everything you need to get started is included (you just need to provide a few consumables).  We will start our chase tomorrow and keep hunting down that Gingerbread Man for the next 12 days. 🙂

Helping Others

Each year in my school, we create something that we can sell to other students in the building so that we can raise money to help families in our school.  We pick something quick and easy that we can make in a day or two and that works on our fine motor skills!

Our students LOVE that they get to do something that helps others.  In the past, we’ve used the money we made from our sales to help a student who needed glasses, provide a family with Christmas, and we’ve also helped to provide extra food and clothing to our school Community Closet.

 

You can read more about these quick and easy crafts here. 🙂

 

What are some ways that you encourage your students to help others?
