I'm so glad I decided to take part in the TPT Seller Challenge.  Not only did it motivate me to take a better look at my store and improve my products, it allowed me to discover and make some connections with some awesome teacher bloggers and sellers.

I had the opportunity to work with the sweet and helpful Megan from MegaSuper ESL on the third challenge.  Stop by and check out her store.  Her monthly emergent readers are great for your ESL and early readers.  You can also follow her on Facebook.

MAKE YOUR MASTERPIECE

Hi everyone!

It's TPT Seller Challenge Week Three - Make Your Masterpiece!

My students LOVE going to Word Work station and Work on Writing station.  

So for this challenge, I decided to create a product
that would be perfect to add to one or both of these stations.

Back to School Vocabulary - Write & Wipe Cards and Printables

Your students will enjoy these back to school themed write & wipe cards and printables.  Along with building their vocabulary, your students will practice their reading, writing and handwriting.  They also get to draw and color, which they all love to do!

There are 24 colorful write & wipe cards included in this pack.

The kids can practice writing the vocabulary words as many times as they want to (fine tip dry erase markers work best).  I always encourage my students to say the name of the letter as they write it and then say the word when they're done.  For example, b-u-s, bus!  I tell them that doing this helps their brain remember better! Oh, and don't forget to remind them to use finger space between each word. :)

A great way to keep them together is to punch a hole in each card and hang them on a binder ring.

I included a cover for the set of cards.

You will also find 24 printables in this pack.

There are several things the students will do on these printables.  First, the students can either color the word or rainbow write the word using three different crayon colors.

Color the vocabulary word

Rainbow write the word using three different crayon colors.

Then, the students can practice writing the word two times with a pencil
and two times with a marker.

Finally, the students will write a sentence using the word and draw a picture to match their sentence.

Just excuse my drawing, I'm not the best artist!

The finished product

JULY CURRENTLY

Can you believe it's already July?

Listening - I LOVE watching cooking shows!  I especially love the competition shows - Cupcake Wars, Cake Wars, Donut Showdown, Top Chef, etc, etc.  I think Chopped is top on my list because these chefs have no idea what ingredients they will be working with.  It's amazing what they come up with!  Oh, and The Pioneer Woman...how can i forget her.  Ooh, ooh and Giada de Laurentiis!  I can go on and on.  Let's just say if I wasn't a teacher (well, stay at home mom now), I'd be a chef!

LOVING - I've always wanted one of these planners so I finally gave in and bought one (thanks to my TPT earnings)!  I've only had it a few days and I am loving it!!  Now that I'm a life planner owner, I am starting to discover that there are plenty of serious planner extraordinaires out there.  Just go to Instagram and search #erincondrenlifeplanner or #planneraddict and you'll see some pretty amazing planner layouts!

THINKING - One can never have too many flair pens!  Since I have a new planner, I NEED a new set, right?

WANTING - I really, really want to attend the TPT Conference in Vegas!  I just had my sweet little man this past February so it's just not in the cards this year.  My husband says I can go next year for sure!!

NEEDING - Not much to explain here!  I haven't had a mani and pedi in months!!  I'm hoping my hubby will agree to watch little man so I can run away for a little because I desperately need it!

ALL STAR - People think I'm shy and quiet when they first meet me, but if you really get to know me, I'm an overall happy person and I like to have fun!  I know it might be annoying to some people, but I love to smile and laugh and sing and dance and get silly and just have fun!  Oh and when my sister and I get together, it's on! 

Keep smiling because life is a beautiful thing and there is so much to smile about! - Marilyn Monroe
