Making it through 💯 days of school calls for a celebration!

I’ve put together 7 of my favorite 100th Day of School activities plus 3 FREEBIES for you in my new blog post!

The best part is you probably have all of the materials you need in your classroom already! Teamwork, logic, and critical thinking (plus some math skills) combine to make these activities worth it! 🙌🏼

As a Create Inspire Teach Insider, you’ll get access to 3 freebies that I made just for you. More info in the blog post linked in bio 🔗

Save this post to remember this for the 100th day, and tag a teacher friend who needs to see this!!

F R E E B I E ✨Link in bio! ❄️ What were your top 3 memories from Winter Break? 👇🏻

1- Christmas with the family. It’s my favorite holiday and I’m always sad when it’s over! But, this Christmas was beautiful and fun and filled with family. 🎄

2- We closed on 2 houses over break! I’ve shared about the first one 🐝 (If you know you know, if you don’t—there was a bee infestation 🥴). But the second one is new and we kept it quieter because there’s a tenant in it for the next few months. Once we can get in, we’re starting some more renovations! ✨PS- If you’re into house flipping and before & afters, stick around for the big changes coming here soon!

3- Finley (who looks WAY cuter and less scary than I portrayed him to be 😂) is obsessed with frisbees. We’ve created a frisbee monster! We spent a lot of time at parks and in our backyard this break for our little boy 🐕

You can grab this resource in my TpT! If you want a direct link to it, send me a message.

I always have this sitting on students’ desks the first day back from break because
a) Quiet mornings are essential 💯
b) Kiddos will want to share all about their breaks, this gives them a chance to pick their top 3 and share!

Hope you had a wonderful break, sending you allllll the love and fighting those Sunday Scaries for you 👊🏻

💕💕💕💕💕

Tag a friend so they can use this in their classroom too!

✨Teacher Tip👇🏻✨ This elf on the [book]shelf has gotten into some of my favorite December read alouds! 😜

December Reading Comprehension Graphic Organizers are here! There are 15 Winter/Christmas themed graphic organizers that work with any 📖(fiction or nonfiction)

Teacher Tip ✨ Here are some of the ways you can use graphic organizers in the classroom:

🎁 Use the Copies per Page option in your printer settings to print 2 or 4 on a single page so they’re small enough to fit inside student notebooks (this saves ink, paper, keeps it safe from getting lost, AND can be referred back to throughout the year!)

🎁 Project a page from the resource on your whiteboard and trace the page onto a chart paper. Work with the students to fill it out during a mini-lesson with Post-Its and markers for an instant anchor chart!

🎁 Put one in a page protector, or make it double-sided with two different graphic organizers. Have students use dry erase markers to complete the graphic organizer and practice the skill during small group reading (great for use with leveled readers)

Grab these and more December resources in my TpT store 🤍

Are you team real 🎄 or fake 🎄?

I used to feel very strongly that a fake tree was the way to go. Less hassle, mess, and you can put it up earlier without worrying about it dying before Christmas!

Chris, on the other hand, is 100% a real tree kinda guy. So this year (after 3 or 4 Christmases with a fake tree 🙃) we finally made the switch!

The return of the tree collar and bottle brush trees have to be my favorite part of this year’s set up!
