A Moment for Mindfulness: Mindfulness Practices for the Classroom

This 26-page PDF contains mindfulness cards that can be easily printed and implemented in your classroom!

Free Writing Prompts from LaNesha Tabb:

This freebie will last you for an entire month. You can do them whole group, or place them in a center for independent work. You will want to make sure your students learn the writing process chant in order to truly maximize this resource!

Do your students know their letter sounds but still can’t decode words (that they should be able to) on their own?

The missing link is likely phonological awareness! This freebie includes 5 posters/chants and 25 projectable or printable slides to help you directly teach and target rhyming, syllables, identifying beginning, middle, & ending sounds, blending sounds, and segmenting sounds.

Looking for some daily encouragement? Download our collections of affirmations that can be easily printed and hung on your mirror! All of these beautiful designs were created by our friend Sarah Dlouhy.

Sometimes we need a good back that can fit our needs in every subject! This cross-curricular unit created by Amelia Capotosta is exactly what you need to plug into your lesson plans that first week back from break, or ANY time. Included in this cross-curricular download is everything you need to implement this wonderful read aloud in math, science, social studies, and ELA!

With the widening gaps in literacy across America, it is more evident than ever that there is a critical need for Science of Reading based lessons in every classroom.

Often, this need for explicit phonological awareness + phonics instruction is supported in K-2. But how many times have you been frustrated because there are no resources for your upper grade kiddos and you have no idea where to start?! In this freebie, Amelia Capotosta gives you a scope and sequence that is normed for upper grades, templates to set up word study notebooks, a sample lesson plan, and checklist of morphemes to teach.

Whether you are looking to treat your teammates, write a note to your child’s teacher, or share some joy with your entire campus, these cards are for you!

With color AND black and white versions of each set of cards with multiple themes, you’re all set with notes for any occasion. This is a quick and simple way to show someone that you are thinking of them!

And, drumroll please……

The Number One downloaded resource was this wonderful freebie from Reagan Tunstall and Kristina Grant! They created six free workstations just for you!

These workstations make terrific teacher-led small group activities or student workstations/centers during guided math. They are vertically aligned for K-5th. 

Thank you for joining us for our countdown! We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did… there is an incredible amount of amazing content! But don’t worry, the year may be ending, but our content isn’t. We will be back in 2023 with more free resources to support the amazing things you are doing in your classrooms!
