Happy 2013
We hope you rang in the new year with your friends and family and had a safe and happy holiday season. Unfortunately our break is nearly over.
We are headed back to work tomorrow morning . . . and we need to have our grade cards done, which neither of us have even started working on yet.
Can you guess how we will be spending the first day of 2013?
We are SO excited to be launching a brand new series of products this year. Each month we will be creating a set of thematic worksheets that can be used throughout the month to reinforce skills you have been working on with your first graders. All of the skills are aligned with the Common Core Standards.
Here’s a {sneak} peek at samples of all the worksheets included in our Marvelous Mitten Morning Work thematic unit . . .
We would love to give away THREE complimentary sets to THREE of you . . . just leave us a comment telling us when you will be returning to school along with your email address so we can contact you if you win. We will accept entries through 9:00 pm (CST) tonight.
Good luck . . . and Happy New Year!!
