Looking back, June seems like it was just yesterday; but now summer is gone, a transition has been made, and a different classroom is set up and ready for a new beginning. We have been busy behind the scenes preparing materials, learning new curriculum and navigating software. As a result of the long hours spent doing what we love, we now have a beautifully "decorated" classroom and over 10 new products to share. Since your time is valuable, we want to give you an overview of our new products and classroom reveal all in one. We will share more details about each of these in the coming days.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1. After 13 years teaching in Kindergarten, Susan has moved to 2nd grade. Having taught (and LOVED) second grade many years ago, she knew this was a move she would like to make when the time was right. This was definitely done in God's timing, because it worked out perfectly. Little did she realize that changing grade levels and starting up a blog/TpT store at the same time would make for a crazy summer. There are a lot of products in the works as we collaborate to develop them around her new curriculum. Below are a few pictures of her new classroom.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Love the Brag Tags idea. We are working on many new tags ideas.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We wanted to track students AR (Accelerated Reader) in a way that puts them all on the same playing field regardless of their reading level. Many charts track points. A lower reader, who may never earn more than 2 points, would always be at the bottom of the chart. Using percentages allows all students, regardless of their points goal, to make it "to the top".</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Many hours were spent switching my classroom library from theme/author bins to AR levels. The new book basket labels are a big hit.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The theme for my classroom this year is from Philippians 2. Our goal and expectations come from this verse...to "shine like stars." We will talk more about this later. We love the way the classroom expectations turned out!</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2. One of the reasons we began this whole adventure was because of our need and desire for a new sight word program at our school. After listening to students stumble over basic words and reviewing many writing samples, we began to notice a breakdown in the consistency, frequency, and method in which sight words were being taught. Our goal was to create a fun, motivational tool that could be used K-3rd grade to ensure proficiency with sight words. Sight Words Super Heroes was born!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3. In anticipation of the move from Kindergarten to 2nd grade, we wanted to create a reading comprehension tool that would make it easy to ensure students were being challenged with higher level questioning techniques. <strong><em>"Put Your Thinking Caps On"</em></strong> came about as a result. It is a simple tool that can be used anytime, anywhere and with any book.</span><br />
