So I've been neglecting my poor blog the past few days and have felt a little under the weather too but wanted to quickly share some newbies to TpT just uploaded. And they might possibly be FLASH FREEBIES tomorrow (8/8) Just sayin' (HINT, HINT) ;)

I made this product for a good friend of mine who needed some ABC posters in cursive!




You can get this snazzy set {HERE}
This set needs a rating too so if you grab it, please rate and give feedback!
(Remember Freebie tomorrow (8/8)

This next one is a Classroom Decor Set I created for a Facebook Fan! She has a primary color theme with some polka dots, chevron and gingham. I tried to incorporate a little of everything and I think it turned out pretty cute!

Preview pic is a little blurry, still trying to figure out the resolution with Picasa. 






Comes with 2 sets of ABC posters-with and w/o pics


Behavior Clip Management system...here's one poster



Variety of desk tags and name tags!

FLASH FREEBIE Alert! Alphabet Posters, Cards & Bunting

I've been working on some Classroom Decor sets when I got sidetracked and decided to focus on some Alphabet Posters! I need a new set for my classroom to use as my alphabet line and double as my word wall headers anyway. So.... I made a set out of this bright zig zag background that I am in love with right now! This is the D' Nealian style of handwriting. Stay tuned for some other styles coming soon. Now I just have to decide which one I will be using! What do you think??

SET 1: BRIGHT Alphabet


Check out the PREVIEW


There are 4 different sets of just the alphabet posters...
-Half size with pictures
-Full size with pictures
-Half size with lines/without pictures
-Full size with lines/without pictures










LOTS of options!


I also made the 2 sizes in the bunting banner that would look super cute as word wall headers. 

Here's the smaller set which is 2 banners on one 8 1/2 X 11 sheet.


And the larger set with 1 to a page. 

I am loving the bright zigzag with the polka dots!

Also included are 2 sets of ABC cards. Use as headers or in workstations!

One set in D'Nealian...

And the 2nd set in this fun font, just because. The font is Janda Safe and Sound. Love it!


So versatile with so many uses.

Personal Behavior Clip Chart...GREAT idea!

Found this on What The Teacher Wants and think it is a neat idea. 



Since this is the week in our linky for Behavior Management, I thought this was good to share! I use the Class Clip Chart similar to these as explained in my last post.   I really like it but wondering if this would work well for certain kiddos in addition to the class chart??

Could I do both? Hmmm...just thinking out loud here. 

I see the benefit of not having the class chart displayed for all to see as some kids get super anxious and embarrassed about moving their clip in front of the class. This could really allow the kids stay accountable for their behavior in a more personal, less embarrassing way. 


Rachelle from What the Teacher Wants explains how she uses it in her classroom. Check it out HERE.

She also has a great Behavior Bundle that goes along with this if you'd like to check it out on her TpT store

This is definitely something I am going to consider for next year.

What do you think???
