First off, I have to brag about who I got to meet on Thursday. I had lunch with the sweet and adorable Kelley from Teacher Idea Factory! She is one of my favorite bloggers so I was pretty excited to meet up with her. I had the best time! We chatted for about two hours and I could’ve stayed for two more. If you don’t already follow her blog, you MUST go visit her right now. She has great ideas, fabulous units, and best of all, she is hilarious. You know how we’re always trying to teach our kids to write with “voice”? She’s got it! My favorite blogs are usually the ones where you can just “hear” someone’s personality coming out in each post. That’s definitely Kelley. She’s even cooler in person, which is saying A LOT!
And this pack is a long story. Well, not really long but there is a short story. I made this pack (mostly) at the end of the school year. I could not get my act together to finish it though! I kept getting distracted by other projects, emails, posts, you name it! It just didn’t get done. So I was going to just hold on to it until next year. But then I realized it could be used for the beginning of second grade too. It’s perfect for the end of first or beginning of second. So… I decided to finish it up. I just need to get it edited and it’ll be ready to go!
