What's Been Up {and a chance to win!}

How have I not blogged in four days?!

Oh yeah... I know... my hubby's birthday was Friday, Saturday we left for Detroit where we saw the musical "Evil Dead" which, as a non-fan of the movie, I thoroughly enjoyed and had so much fun!  Sunday we went to the Detroit Lions game where, I am happy to say, they pulled out an AMAZING last minute (literally the last minute!) win over the Cowboys!  Today we celebrated his b-day with my family, so it's been a busy last four days!

Here's me sporting all of my Lions gear before the game on Sunday...  I even won a t-shirt before the game for knowing the entire fight song!  Can you say #1 fan?!

BUT... I did manage to get a new file finished late last week.  I've been making comprehension bookmarks for a while, but just jazzed them up to make a pack for TpT.  We've already started using these in class and my kiddos were so excited today to get their "cause and effect" bookmarks from me!  I also copied it on the back of my weekly newsletter so they had one to take home too!
 Check 'em out on TpT

This new pack has 25 bookmarks to use for supporting reading comprehension.  You can click the pick above to check them out on TpT if you'd like... they're on sale for $1 off for a few days!

If you want the chance to win a pack just leave a comment and I'll pick a winner later this week {if I survive Halloween in an elementary school, that is!}

  3. Happy birthday to your husband! You sure had a busy weekend. I too haven't blogged in a while! A sinus infection is keeping me home tomorrow, so maybe I'll get something added!
    I've had a request to hold another blogger meetup. Should we try to meet some Sunday in Bovember? Oh wait, that would mean you'd have to miss a lions game! We could do a Saturday!

  8. I have loved using your reading comprehension flippy books with my students. These bookmarks would be great reminders for small groups! It seems that we can never have too many bookmarks. (I have a bunch and still end up using a receipt or straw wrapper most of the time!)

  16. For my students, this would be a great tool for them to use independently while reading in the classroom! They seem to forget all their questioning strategies when they leave the resource room!

  23. How do you determine what to teach for guided reading? I am a student teacher and I wonder how you determine what skills are most important or how you order the skills?
