Back to School Sale – What’s in your cart?

Teachers Pay Teachers is having another Back To School Sale!

Do you need a few new things for your caseload?  Teachers Pay Teachers is having another back to school sale with saving ups to 25%.  Be sure to grab a few great things.

Here are a few things I have been wanting!

I don’t know about you, we started school where I live on August 10th.  Right about now I have met almost all of my students and I’m trying to make sure I have what I need in for all the goals.  I switched schools this year, so I now work with kids in grades 3-6 and the goals are a little different!

Perfect time for a teachers pay teachers back to school sale!

Here are a few things I have in my cart.

 

I like these easy print and go coloring pages from Peachie Speechie.  They are not too juvenile for my current kiddos and are a great way to keep the kids in groups just busy enough while they practice sounds.  These also seem perfect to send home for extra practice and carryover.

 

I’m loving this Language Progressing Monitoring Tool Upper Level from Natalie Snyders.  It seems like a perfect addition to my toolkit for checking skills and preparing for IEP meetings.  It seems to include many of the goals I’m addressing with my new students.

This vocabulary strategies set from Speechy Musings looks awesome too.  LOTS of my kids have vocabulary related goals and this seems to cover what I need.

The back to school sale starts August 31st on teachers pay teachers.  These are a few things in my cart.  What’s in yours?
