Genre Pack News!

So I have been working on updating my genre pack for awhile now.  It became almost an obsession that I am glad to finally be done so I can work on some other projects I need to get done before school starts.  This summer has sped by so quickly and I feel like I have not accomplished everything I hoped to but oh well!  My little tornado Thomas has been my main focus this summer.  He is a nonstop ball of fun:)

I wanted to share a peek at my updated pack.  If you have already purchased it please go and re-download it ASAP!  It has grown from 15 pages to 131!  I told you I became obsesses with it.  I finally had to make myself stop.

I created this great preview using Picasa.  If you want to learn more about it check out my recent post on Teaching Blog Round Up called Techie Tips.

I will give this pack FREE to the first three bloggers to comment and leave me their emails.  If you miss it the freebie then don't fret it will be half off through tomorrow night! 

Thanks for reading,

GENRE FREEBIE

Teaching Genres in Small Group Freebie

Spring is here or supposedly it is.  I am still waiting for it in Ohio but at least the sun is shining!

 I have been working on several things and I keep thinking of more to add or change so I never seem to finish anything.  So today I decided that I just had to stop and put something out there.  I really like having visuals to show my students.  I feel that it reinforces the concepts that I am teaching and it allows them to not only hear but see what I am talking about.  Also if I have visual cards to accompany what I am teaching then I don't forget to talk about an important skill or concept that I need to hit. (Sometimes that totally happens:)  One thing I have been trying to talk about with my students lately is genres (even with my at risk kindergarteners).  I have made visual genre cards to go along with our genre discussions.  I have decided to share a sneak peek with everyone so I am linking up with Freebielicious for the month of April freebie.  If you like it look for it in my TPT store for the entire set and if you don't see a genre that you need to target let me know I will add it to the pack.  (It should be available by tonight).

(For some reason on Google Docs it shows up all white but if you download it the background is there--I am not quite sure what happened)

I hope you enjoy your freebie.  I would love any feedback you have about my genre cue cards and please feel free to share how you teach genres.  I would love to know:)
