Some of My EASEL Products on TpT....

I have been diligently updating many of my TpT products to the EASEL platform. If you're not familiar with EASEL, it allows sellers to convert traditional TpT products into a ready-to-use digital version!

Below are some of my latest EASEL products, which you can find when you visit my store:

TpT's New EASEL Tool! Woo hoo!!

As many of you know, TpT has released a new digital platform called EASEL. I am slowly but surely modifying my products to include ready-to-go EASEL activities. If you already own these products, simply download the EASEL version! New buyers will have access to the printable and digital EASEL product.

Using EASEL is a great opportunity to utilize products digitally and involves less prep time. I hope you enjoy these product updates and I hope to add more resources soon.

NUMBER ORDER CLIP GAMES!

I finally updated my 0-10 clip game, which now includes a recording sheet and lettered cards!  While I was at it, I created a new product which has numbers 11-20, which I've included below.  Each set has 24 colorful cards!!

Directions:

Use these games to help young learners practice ordering numbers 0-10 or 11-20.  Laminate, cut, and clip numbered clothespins on the bottom of each card.  Another idea is to laminate/protect each page and use a dry-erase marker. 

Answers:  

Place an answer sticker on the back of each card to make this a self-checking activity OR use the included recording sheet to use as a graded assignment.

#MarkdownMonday - Week of August 7th

Each Monday, a variety of TpT sellers will be drastically reducing prices on ONE item in their stores!  

Just type #markdownmonday and you'll find a wide range of great deals!

Since it's back to school season, I've reduced the price of my "How We Get Home Backpack Labels" to only $1.00 at MY TPT STORE!  

These are perfect for tagging little ones during the first weeks of school and I've used these for years (and updated the selection over time).  Just print, laminate, hole punch, and zip tie to backpacks!  

I place these in a container and tag students' backpacks during orientation or during the first day when I greet parents.  This has been especially helpful with kinders who can sometimes be shy or unsure of themselves.  

Hope you enjoy!!

To get this product, visit the link below BEFORE next Monday!!  Look for HOW WE GET HOME BACKPACK LABELS at my TpT store.

Building Blocks Theme: Numbers 1-36

***UPDATED***
This set now includes numbers 1-36!
**********************

I couldn't find these anywhere that looked "just right" so I had to make my own!  Use these building block themed numbers in a variety of ways in your classroom:

* Number cubbies or backpack hooks

* Use for number lines or counting 

* Tape on the floor if you use a numbered line order

* Number desks, chairs, journals, or folders

* Labeling team or table numbers

* Tape next to your existing class rules

KINDERGARTEN SCREENING ASSESSMENT

Summer is going by so quickly and I was given the joyous responsibility to create an assessment for our incoming kindergarten students!  Knowing that time is limited, but that we need data to sort students fairly, I've created an assessment to measure some of the basics for our students: 

For READING:
* Uppercase Letters
* Lowercase Letters
* Letter Sounds
* Sight Words
* Writing Your Name

For MATH:
* Counting to 100 (no chart...just counting orally)
* Counting by Tens
* Identifying Numbers 0 - 20
* Counting Objects 
* Writing Numbers to 25
* Addition 
* Subtraction

I've included a data sheet as well, so wish me luck!  This is our first time sorting students in advance with ACTUAL DATA!  I'm excited!!

I've also slowwwwwly moving toward changes in my product covers!  I'm pretty proud, but this took entirely too long to make...and then it was too big to upload to TPT!  Ugh!

How many of you test kindergarten students in advance?  What skills are a priority to you?  Please feel free to leave comments below!
