More Making Words :)

To say that life has been crazy this year, would be an understatement. Thankfully, my creative spirit is once again beginning to spark and I'm finding/making some new resources! Be on the lookout for some of the educational Glogsters I've created (with handouts), reading response activities, math menus, and much more. Spring Break is just around the corner and I'm hoping to post many new FREEBIES for you to use in your classroom! I am also working on creating a 2013-2014 Teacher Planner that is OUT OF THIS WORLD! I've had an entire year to use the other planner I created and add to it; needless to say, I'm excited to share it with all of you once it is complete. *If you become one of my followers and/or leave positive feedback, I will put your name in a drawing to receive the new planner PERSONALIZED for free! I can't wait to hear from you!
In the meantime, here are some new Making Words (Grade 3) SMARTBOARD activities for you to use!
