New Unit "mini" giveaway - Let's Pack a Picnic!

Every year during the last two weeks of school, I use "theme days" or even "theme weeks" with my kiddos.  It is an awesome way to keep them highly engaged in learning, get them excited about content (which also keeps classroom management at a norm) and makes for some fun "last" learning memories. In the past, I've done an Ice Cream Day, Camping Day, Carnival Day, and I always do a Ladybug Week where we hatch ladybugs in the classroom.


This year, I'm adding a Picnic Theme to my end of year lesson plans.  Fun, right?!  At the end, we will go on a picnic and eat our lunch outside.  The unit was designed for first and second graders but can be used for end of kindergarten and even struggling third graders or small group activities. You can find this complete pack in my TPT store. Or, find it in my TeachersNotebook shop. :)


Take a look! Sorry about all of the pics, but this one is jam-packed with lots of goodies! 







I'm giving this unit away to 5 followers!  Here is the catch.  This morning I read that Molly from Classroom Confetti just landed her first teaching job! I know in Ohio, teaching jobs are far and few right now (not sure how it is in other states).  I think this is just awesome and as a community, we need to celebrate these big milestones for our blogging friends. :) Be one of my first five followers to leave Molly a Congratulations comment. Then, leave me a comment saying you did (with your e-mail address) and you'll win my "Perfect Picnic Pack!" :)  You can leave her a comment by clicking on her button:

Since I just addressed 141 wedding invitations for the past 4 hours....I'm headed to curl up on the couch and watch some TV with the puppy. :)
Happy Learning,

  10. thanks for sending some awesomeness! I loved your pack

    I was getting more and more excited as I scrolled down to each new activity. Your pack is full of practically and useful activities that can actually be used. I have seen many other packs that are cutesy and have a lot of fluff but I am happy to say that is not the case with yours

    I will definitely be purchasing from you in the future

    Thanks again

    Ms. Patterson

  12. Your unit is adorable!! I've had some cute watermelon clipart for a year now and literally could not figure out how to use it! Thanks for the inspiration! And you are too sweet to post that for your bloggy friend! Jobs, especially in teaching are so hard to get right now!!
