🚌🥨 Need a FUN first-day activity your students wil 🚌🥨 Need a FUN first-day activity your students will actually remember?

Back to School in a Cup is one of my favorite ways to kick off a brand-new school year! It combines a yummy snack with reading, writing, math, crafts, and classroom community all in one engaging activity. ❤️

Students will read the original back-to-school poem, follow along as they create their special snack, and then use it for even MORE learning! They can graph their results, complete writing activities, make an adorable craft, play a game, and even take home a recipe card so they can share the fun with their families. 🥨✏️

It’s low prep, hands-on, and FUN—exactly what you need when you’re trying to keep those excited little learners engaged during the first day or week of school!

“My students loved this resource and were surprised to come back to school to have such a delicious snack.  They love the mini book that accompanys this resource.”

“I use this as a Back to School SEL, following directions and team building exercise. I also get some writing samples to use as a base line. I have other products in this line and 3rd graders love them! I just bump up the writing components.”

🔢 Before we jump into addition and subtraction, th 🔢 Before we jump into addition and subtraction, there’s ONE thing I want my students to feel confident with… NUMBER SENSE!
That’s why it’s always the first math unit I teach when we head back to school! 💛

My Guided MASTER Math Number Sense Unit gives students tons of hands-on practice with counting objects, tallies, ten frames, numbers to 120, and more—without spending the entire math block sitting at their seats.

We start with a quick mini lesson and then it’s time to ROTATE! 🙌 Students are using manipulatives, playing math games, working with me in a small group, using technology, practicing independently, and building those important beginning-of-the-year math skills.

The best part? The planning is already done! Lesson plans, activities, centers, assessments, and even a fun craft are included so you can start the year with an engaging math routine from day one. ✏️🔢

Want to take a peek?

“I am just wrapping up this unit and had to share how much I love this resource! So many options to use in the classroom. My students and I especially love the teaching slides which make the concepts easier for them to understand. The small group worksheets are excellent as well. Great purchase!”

“My students loved the activities included in this resource! I highly recommend this resource as it follows the I do, we do , and you do learning. The lesson slides are engaging, the games in the manipulatives/apply skills truly help students learn the standard in a fun interactive manner with a peer, and then the small group/review/enrichment worksheets have helped me provide differentiated instruction.”

📢 Want to establish good classroom volume habits B 📢 Want to establish good classroom volume habits BEFORE the noise gets out of control? 🙌
Back to school is the perfect time to teach students exactly when, where, and how loudly they should be talking—and Decibella and Her 6-Inch Voice by Julia Cook makes that conversation so much more fun!

This book companion helps you introduce and practice voice levels while also working on reading comprehension, vocabulary, writing, and important SEL skills. Students will learn what different voice levels sound like, when to use them, and WHY controlling their volume shows respect for others. 💙
You’ll get colorful voice-level posters, sorting and matching activities, a classroom pledge, a letter home, reading response activities, writing extensions, and an adorable 6-Inch Voice craft!

And how cute would “Turn Down the Volume, Turn Up the Respect” be for a back-to-school bulletin board?! 📢✏️

Teach the expectation NOW, practice it together, and give yourself something you can refer back to ALL YEAR LONG! 🙌

👇 Comment VOICE and I’ll send you the link!

"This resource went well with the Decibella book. The scale really helped my students understand that there were different voice levels appropriate for different situations."

"My kids still use the voice level system, even towards the end of the year. They love it, and I love it!"
