School Days Craze: Common Core B2S Centers!

Have you ever started ten projects at once and felt your head spin around like your brain is going through a very intense wash cycle?  That's where I'm at right now.  My brain is MUSH.  :)  I spent all day yesterday working on classroom projects and re-organizing binders.  It kind of looked like a file cabinet spontaneously combusted all over my home office.  Just keepin' it real!  I made significant progress (thankfully), and I should be able to finish up today! Tomorrow is the first team meeting of the new school year, so I am hoping to work in my classroom after I spend some time catching up with everyone at lunch.  I would like to be able to drop all of my binders off and scratch that major project off of the list.   As you can see, I've made some progress.  I pulled some goodies back out of storage totes to snap a few pictures of some finished, half-way finished, and not even close to being finished projects. Is it bad that I just can't wait to get this stuff out of my house?  The neat freak in me is crying.  :)





Fortunately, I have been able to peck away at new back to school centers in the midst of all of my projects, and I am so excited to start out the school year with them!  I am also happy that I can use them year-round... even if I can't fit all of them in during the first month! :) This bundle covers lots of skills like ABC order, regular verb tenses, plurals with -s, -es, and -ies, comparatives and superlative adjectives, vowel digraphs, VCCV words, and the prefixes un-, re-, and dis-.  I always feel terrible posting these kinds of posts, and I know I've apologized profusely throughout the summer for turning ,my blog into QVC, but I know how the beginning of the school year is, and if you think you can use them, then I want to be able to make them available as soon as I can.  :)  Super sorry, friends! If you are interested though, you can check out the file HERE.  Since it's a newbie, I'm also marking it down 20% through tomorrow ONLY! Have a fabulous afternoon!  Don't work too hard! ;)

  8. Looks amazing, Amanda! Love that you aligned them with the CC. I seriously feel like a crazy lady right now with all of my projects. I have become SO ANXIOUS (I know my lack of sleep and insane coffee addiction doesn't help)!

    :) Love it all, sweet friend.

  14. I love the book boxes with the ribbon!

    A great site to use in your centers is JogNog.

    JogNog is instrumental in my classroom by engaging my students in learning. I, also, do some consulting with JogNog.
