Teacher Tote Bags only $10

Hello Cafe Friends!

Hope you all are doing well and are enjoying these nice fall days. The crisp, cooler nights are wonderful! This is the time of year when I'm cleaning out my closets and buying new things. Maybe it's the change of seasons that makes me wanna clean out. Whatever it is, I'm happy about it!

In addition to my kids' clothes, I cleaned out so many bags! Now I've made plenty of space for my new ones. ;-) I think I have a serious bag addiction. It's like shoes...each bag serves its own purpose. Anyone with me? 

Do you ever think you need just one more bag? I wanted to share some new tote bags I'm selling with you. I'm so excited about these bags! I use them for everything! 

Here are some of the ways I've used totes just like these:

(1) Teacher bag- It holds a lot, plus it's stylish!

(2) Overnight bag

(3) Travel / carry-on bag

(4) Shoe bag (yes, I've needed one of these to just carry my shoes for vacation)

(5) Beach / Pool bag 

(6) Diaper Bag - perfect for diapers and other items, not so bulky

(7) Gym bag

(8) Extra bag to roll up and put in luggage for souvenirs :-)

(9) Dirty laundry bag - yeah I did. Since it zips, I didn't worry about anything falling out and I simply washed it on the cool, gentle wash setting and hung dry. Good as new!

(10) Gifts! I'd roll up a beach towel and place an acrylic tumbler inside for a nice gift

Below are some of the styles~ and they're only $10.00. They would look great monogrammed! {Sorry, I am unable to monogram for ya' though.} 

Here are a few of the designs of these totes:

Christmas Freebie #2



Hello again Café Friends!

 

Thanks for stopping by for this week's Christmas Freebie!

This freebie is all about Reindeer and can be adapted across grade levels.

 

The idea is to get kids into conducting research about this interesting creature. This can be done several ways depending on the age of your students:

 

1.) Provide several copies of books, magazine articles, close read passages, etc. for students to read and find answers. If your students aren't independent readers yet, you can read facts aloud to them, noting some facts on a class anchor chart for them to use.

 

2.) Show informational websites, such as Wikipedia, National Geographic kids, etc. and discuss the information as a class. Students can record their information on the planning sheet. (or this can be done as a class)

 

3.) Allow this to be a project for home (or school). Students can use the research pages (they can use some or all pages) and include pictures to create a poster about their reindeer research.

 

4.) Choose a page (or 2) and display them with a reindeer craftivity for a festive bulletin board or hallway display.

 Hope you enjoy using these to get your students interested in the research process!

Thanks for stopping by, and as always, feel free to share your ideas in the comments below. :-)

Christmas Freebies!

Hello out there Cafe' friends!!

Anyone there?!?!

Oh. My. Goodness!
 

It's been SO long, I had to clean the cobwebs from my little blog! I sincerely apologize!

Starting a new grade this year has zapped every ounce of my time since the start of school. I moved to 3rd, but I'll continue to share ideas useful for my K-2 friends. :-)

 

Well, since it's almost CHRISTMAS, I need to make up for lost time------and fast! Whew!
So, I'm scheduling some FREEBIES for ya' throughout the month of December. Be sure to check back in at the Café over the next several Mondays to pick up some FREE resources:
Monday, December 7th
Monday, December 14th
Monday, December 21st
Monday, December 28th

 

We all know after Thanksgiving break the kids can start to get a *little* excited about the next vacation.

3 weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas to teach, assess, and maintain some kind of sanity can make for some long days. And let's just hope there's not another full moon on the calendar.

 

 I'm sharing Freebie #1 with ya' in hopes that it will be helpful for your students {and kids at home, for that matter--I'm thinking about using it with my own kids!} Click on the link below to pick up this Christmas freebie! It's sort of like bingo, and can be used different ways. The first page shares some ideas for using this to help encourage and reward positive behavior.

I hope you can find lots of fun ways to use this with your class {or kids at home}.
If you're interested in more positive behavior incentives for the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas, check out my Santa's Little Bag of Tricks pack {Freebie #1-Run, Run, Reindeer, is from this pack.}
