I Have, Who Has? #2forTuesday

It's that time! Time to link up with Chalk One Up for the Teacher for Two for Tuesday where bloggers from all over the blogging world select two of their TpT products and significantly discount them just for today, Tuesday.

This week I've chosen two I Have, Who Has? games for you. Both are marked 50% off just for today. They are both just one dollar each!

I Have, Who Has? Counting by 7's

I Have, Who Has? The One and Only Ivan

Sometimes called a looping activity, I Have, Who Has? is a fun and engaging activity that provides students with both content area and listening skill practice. 

Students are given a card on which is written an answer followed by a question. They must listen for the question that matches their answer, then read the question on their card for another student to answer. Play continues around the room until all the cards have been read. My students GO WILD for this activity and beg to repeat each game to improve their performance. Beg to do an activity? Definitely, a winner!

Two for Tuesday: Writing Style

It's that time...Time for teachers around the bloggy world to discount some of their favorite teaching products just for today. #2forTuesday

This week I am discounting two of my favorite writing products. These two have stood the test of time with my students. I actually created the initial activities more than 30 years ago! YIKES! Back in those days everything was drawn free hand and colored with markers/crayons. As for lamination to make it last...pfft! Only if you were lucky! I remember using rolls and rolls of clear contact paper. Can you say "sticky situation"?

Today, it's a cinch to make fun engaging teaching items to use with your students, what with desktop publishing and home laminators. Just find what you want/need on TpT, download it, print it, add the finishing touches... VOILA! beautiful, professional looking products in a snap!

If you are an ELA teacher in grs. 3-7 and need a professional-looking writing product then these two packets are just for you. Fun imaginative prompts will engage your students while helping them practice and meet needed Common Core Standards.

Two for Tuesday

I can't believe that it is Tuesday already! Where does the time go? It's time to join Chalk One up for the Teacher for...

This week I selected two of my favorite products to share with you. Both will be listed at a 50% discount through this coming Thursday.

Year 'Round Homework Punch Cards

Contained in this packet are 10 pre-programmed punch cards and 10 editable punch cards containing 20 punches. Use the punch cards to track student behavior and provide rewards. When a student performs the behavior you are seeking, punch a space on his/her card. When the student earns a particular number of punches he/she receives a reward.

These punch cards are larger in size than typical ones. They easily fit in a pencil pouch or toolbox and are harder to lose or misplace. The brag tags referred to on the pre-programmed punch cards are simply small cards with positive messages. Brags tags are a little like trading cards. Students collect them and store them on a metal ring, cord, or thin chain. They are a visible/concrete symbol of student success and achievement, something a student can brag about. There are several styles of these available on Teachers Pay Teachers, including many in my store. You can check them out HERE (some are even free).

The blank punch cards are editable. You are able to add your own text and determine your own goals and rewards. You can download the set of cards to use with your students HERE.


3-2-1 Back to School ELA Bundle

Are you looking for FUN and ENGAGING Back to School themed ELA activities to review or introduce key language arts concepts? Look no further! This bundle contains SIX products to help your intermediate students practice identifying parts of speech and kinds of sentences, as well as recognizing fragments, sentences, and run-ons. Included are THREE Zap! games, TWO Mystery Pictures, and ONE pack of Scoot cards. Each item is available separately in my TpT store, but you can grab the bundle HERE.

Two for Tuesday

Time to join The Teaching Tribune for...

This week I've chosen two products that are perfect for setting up a homework or behavior management system in your classroom.

Contained in this packet are 5 pre-programmed punch cards and 5 editable punch cards with 7, 14, or 20 punches. Use the punch cards to track student behavior and provide rewards. When a student performs the behavior you are seeking, punch a space on his/her card. When the student earns a particular number of punches he/she receives a reward.

These punch cards are larger in size than typical ones. They easily fit in a pencil pouch or toolbox and are harder to lose or misplace. 

The brag tags referred to on the pre-programmed punch cards are simply small cards with positive messages. Brags tags are a little like trading cards; they are sometimes called behavior beads. Students collect them and store them on a metal ring, cord, or thin chain. They are a visible/concrete symbol of student success and achievement, something a student can brag about. There are several styles of these available on Teachers Pay Teachers. A simple search using “brag tag” or “behavior beads” will lead you to them. A few are even free. I have MANY sets available in my TpT store, some which even coordinate with these punch cards. You can read more about brag tags HERE.

The blank punch cards are editable. You are able to add your own text and graphics and determine your own goals and rewards. Simply use the “insert” feature. Then select “text box” or “picture or clip art.” I have included text boxes on each blank card for you to begin with. You are free to use your choice of font(s) and graphics. However, please be respectful of copyright. To purchase these punch cards TODAY for only one dollar, please click HERE.

Similar to the above product is this.

Contained in this packet are 10 pre-programmed homework punch cards and 10 editable (any subject) punch cards each containing spaces for 20 punches. The cards contained are for Fall, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Winter, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Spring, Patriotic, and Summer. These are available TODAY for only $1.50 by clicking HERE.
