If you’re anything like me, winter break is a great time to sleep in, relax, and also do lots of shopping! If you’ve got some last minute gifts to pick up for this holiday season, make sure to check out this awesome blog post I found on Pinterest. It contains TONS of stores that offer teacher discounts. A few of them I knew about (Michael’s, Office Depot, etc.), but there were several others that surprised me (Dollar Tree, Target, Banana Republic!)
At our school book fair last year, I bought a great book called Interrupting Chicken
It contains activity pages as well as some colored chicken cards that can be used to remind students not to blurt out during class. I’m thinking something like, put 3 chickens up on the board at the beginning of the day and if there’s at least one left at the end of the day, you’ll play a class favorite song or let them do a fun activity? Something along those lines!
Happy Saturday!

One of the things my school has done each year is read Have You Filled a Bucket Today? A Guide to Daily Happiness for Kids
Which is why I was really excited to find a Bucket Filler vs. Bucket Dippers headers by 3rd Grade Thoughts and word sort by 1st Grade Fanatics on Pinterest. Often, I have students list examples of “Bucket Fillers” and “Bucket Dippers,” but having words to choose from would really help some of the younger students get started.
The best part of both these products? They’re FREE!! Â So go grab them while you can!
