Here is another Thanksgiving freebie literacy center for you! I tape the cards around the room and use it as a read the room activity but it can also be put in a tub as a traditional center.
If you have classroom devices, the QR code can be scanned to check the answers but the center can be used without the QR codes, as well. Click HERE to grab your FREEBIE. I also have other center activities if you like this one.

If you are looking for something for this week, my Easter Writing and Craft makes for a fun writing assignment and a cute bulletin board!
Are you still distance learning or trying to manage a remote cohort? Need your in-person students to have engaging activities but not share materials? I hear you.
I have put together a Google Bundle and a Boom bundle for March. They both have 7 decks with 4 ELA and 3 math but they are a little different.
I love a good sale, don't you? Have you been filling up your TpT cart? Bundles are clearly the best deal since they were already discounted and now there is an addition 25% off! I have some new ones you may be interested in.
Have you tried Boom cards yet? I am in love with them so I have a bunch in my store. Here are the newest sets. Digital Color by Codes are the so engaging!
I also made these in Google Slides for those that just can't try one more new thing. I totally get that!
These function very much like Boom cards. The student plays in present mode and when they click on the correct sight word the picture magically gets colored in and the next sight word plays.
I have 188 products in my store, all 20% off so I hope you find something you like!

Students love listening to a story but sometimes I've felt they don't get much out of the response sheets. I really wanted worksheets that would assess their comprehension and give them a chance to practice all the analysis skills I taught them.
So I starting making a worksheet for each listening center story. Not only are there comprehension questions, but I include different skills such as sequencing events or identifying story elements. I also included differentiated skill-based worksheets aligned to the Common Core. 22 standards by my count.
The QR codes for 24 stories, professionally read by famous actors, have been put through SafeShare.tv so your students are not exposed to ads or other distracting content. QR codes are fun and easy to scan with the camera of a tablet or smartphone. If you have an older device, you may need an app but there are many free ones such as QR Scanner.
I was going to wait until I had 40 done for an entire year but they take a while to make so I figured I'd upload what I had so other teachers could use them this semester. My plan is to keep adding books to this packet. If you buy it now, you will be notified when I update the packet and get the additions for FREE.
Since many of us are distance learning, I have included a digital Google Slides version that can be easily assigned to your remote students. I have also included a link to the stories if your students do not have a device that can read QR codes.
Skills covered include:
•Answering comprehension questions
•Sequencing events
•Determining a word’s meaning
•Identifying story elements
•Telling fiction from nonfiction
•Predicting
•Inferring
•Character analysis
•Identifying cause and effect
•Determining the moral or lesson
•Opinion writing

A Bad Case of Stripes
As Fast as Words Could Fly

Carla’s Sandwich

Could you use a FREE Winter Scrambled Sentences literacy center?
I hope you had a relaxing break. I was a sloth and it was wonderful. Although I missed my family coming to celebrate the holiday, I did notice that not having a houseful of people constantly underfoot kept my inner Grinch at bay. Normally, accidentally using 4 times the amount of garlic powder in my Christmas gravy would make me feel like I ruined the day. But this year, my husband and I just looked at each other, shrugged, and said, "2020!" I managed to salvage the gravy but then in the craziness we forgot to serve the green beans. How did none of us notice they were missing until we were cleaning up? "2020!"
Wishing everyone a great start to 2021!
