Tunstall's Teaching Tidbits

Teaching with Heart and Creativity

Nerd Alert!

Today was very productive in the land of anchor charts, scissors, glue sticks, and Popsicle sticks!
I worked on the dollar store inspiration items and came up with these three anchor charts!
I went back to the dollar store and grabbed 5 more silver platters and found that they have different shapes of them!  Oh the choices!

If you have already bought my Teaching Writing in K-2 you can redownload it for free and get the added anchor chart printables.  I decided to lump them in with my writing guide since that is how I will be using them this year.

 Just want to take the idea and make it yours?  That’s great too!  I love getting inspired by props!  I hope you do too!

I also found these at the dollar store

 I haven’t cleaned them up yet…sorry about that!  I am using these for the self portraits activity during the first week of school.

And finally, I finished these beauties!

I am all set!  ….Can’t imagine teaching all day and then making all this stuff. 
How do we do it???!!!?!?!?!?

      You are amazing! I'm going to have to remember the strainer idea for Writer's Workshop this year. I've always used the Watermelon/Seed Topic idea from Lucy Caulkins. Also, I've added your Sight Word Stick centers to my (ever-growing) TpT wish list 🙂

      Adorable my friend! I just know you are going to link them up….or are you waiting for the new linky this coming Monday??? They are too cute!!! If I send you poster paper will you whip some up for me??? I don't have the "cute anchor chart" gene:(( That's why Tay has to make them when she is home….I should be planning ahead like you have done….I don't have that gene either….nope!

      This isn't nerdy and if it is . . . well then I guess I'm one to! I just put a stop at the dollar store on my to-do list. This is awesome! I purchased your Teaching Writing K-2 packet awhile back and love it and this is icing on the cake for sure!!
