LIT Product Catalog

Hello everyone!  Welcome to my once-a-month post!  Yikes!  Where is the time going?  I hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday season.  I greatly enjoyed every minute of my two week vacation!  We are now back at the grindstone...and college has started again for me. This semester's class is going to be a tough one, but I am determined to get through it!

I have spent the last few weeks working on some big life changes.  At this point, I am keeping them mostly to myself.  If they come to fruition, I will be singing them from the rooftop!  Let's just say, I have been pondering some career changes in light of the degree I am working on and I may be headed in a slightly different direction - yay!

On another note, I have added a few items to my store in the past few months, but have not been really working at it.  Just too much to do and not enough time to do everything.  I did, however, create a product catalog.  It was nice to see all of my products in one place and remind myself of what I have worked on.  I can also see the items I would like to update if I ever have a moment when I am not so tired that I turn into a zombie on the couch!  I think I figured out a way to fix the logos on my old products despite the jump drive disaster of 2013!  Anyhow - here it is (click on any of the images to head to the catalog!):

See all of the Leaping into Teaching Store products at once! This catalog will be updated each time a new item is added. Click on any image to access the product on Teachers Pay Teachers!

Great Resources and TPT sale!

I was inspired by the Owl-Be Inspired Linky to share the products that have been lifesavers for me this year!

My goodness!  Being new to a grade level for the second year in a row has given new meaning to ! My first lifesaver product is actually a fabulous set of products from Jamie Rector of 2nd Grade Stuff!  Jamie has sets of writing prompts for each month of the school year.  They contain a narrative, informative, an opinion, and a research prompt with really cute task pages and writing paper.  They have been a lifesaver because I am in my second year of learning a new grade curriculum.  These packets hit the mark for the Common CORE and are so much fun.  They are great for writing workshop or centers and my substitutes have loved them!

For my writing centers, I have relied on my Story Dice, Writing Topic Cards that I made into rings, and Instant Writing Centers.

 

For guided reading groups, I often rely of some sort of response activity to monitor my students and provide a meaningful task for fast finishers.  Again, Jamie Rector of 2nd Grade Stuff!  created Common Core Standards Graphic Organizers for Reading for different grade levels – good stuff!  I make them into a booklet and assign as needed for responses.

And for spelling, all the products from Babbling Abby (wish I could be her!!!)are fantastic for reinforcing those tricky vowel sounds.

I also use a couple of my products consistently during my spelling centers/

 

 

And, of course, I will be joining in on the 3 Million Strong TPT Sale for 28% of my TPT store! I will be buying up tons of great items! Check out the products I love and use in my classroom!

The Huge Sale!

Yes!  It’s coming! The big sale at TPT starts tomorrow and everything in my store will be on sale!

Click on the banner to go to my store. Thanks Krista for the cute graphic!

You might notice that most of my products have my old logo and blog name on them.  I had a huge tragedy with my jump drive where I stored ALL my products.  Let’s just say I had to wait to get back to work before I can foot the bill of $500 to get that little guy fixed.  Lesson to all – do not keep everything on a jump drive!

I am linking up with  Fifth in the Middle for the

Back To School TpT 2+1 Blog Hop

Graphics by Megan @ I Teach. What's Your Super Power

 

The winner by far!  This is a great way to add poetry to your classroom in an easy to run center.

It’s a tie!

This a fun little book to help your little mathematicians master their facts.

Love this one!  This is a great way to support retelling skills.  It is a research-based method and is my version of written research published in The Reading Teacher Journal several years ago.

 

You can check out my whole collection through the page linked at the top of the blog!

Oh my!  My list is really long! Plus I always find things I  “need” after the sale!  Then I have to wait until Christmas!
