Common Core Curriculum Map Books On Sale CHEAP! Grab it now!


Normally I wouldn't just send out a link to Amazon as a blog post, but this is too good to pass up and it needs to be taken advantage of!

Have you see the new Common Core book,

Common Core Curriculum Maps in English Language Arts, Grades K-5with units already mapped out for grades K-5?  I was able to take a look at it today and it is wonderful, but at the same time, kind of scary because of the changes in units and all of the new materials that will have to be provided.  But, I figure it is better to be armed and ready with a warning rather than be caught by surprise.  It is usually $32 or so and it is on sale <with the link above> for $18.  The kindle version can be downloaded for $16 or so (I did this and it was instantly on my computer!!!).  This is probably the best price we will see since most states are phasing in the curriculum a little at a time and you know as demand goes up, sometimes so does the price.


Just wanted to give you a heads up so that you could check it out.  You can click on the pic below to go to Amazon.




Also, if you would like the Kindle version (so that it is digital) but don't have a Kindle, you can always download Kindle for PC and view it on your computer or whiteboard (I've done this a lot for shared reading!)


Zoo unit Day 1 Giraffes

Do you need fun ideas for a zoo unit?  Visit my blog to see some of the pictures from Day 1 of our zoo unit and snag a freebie while you're at it!  These activities are the perfect addition to a k-2 unit on zoo animals.   Click on the giraffe to take you to my blog.


Have a great week!
