A Cupcake for the Teacher

Where Teaching is Sweet!

Writing Center/Office Starter Kit & a Giveaway!!

I’m SO excited about this post for two reasons:  I finally made something I’ve had in the back of my mind for months, *and* I’m hosting a giveaway!!  1261 followers, what??! 🙂

The first stop on today’s post is my new writing center!!  I have seriously been wanting to make one of these for the longest time… well, I finally did it!
I absolutely *love* the way it turned out!!!  I can’t wait to introduce writing with it next year!


In the middle I put “I can write” cards and examples for a postcard, poem, recipe, card, list, story, and letter:
Here’s a close-up of the left side, where I put some reference sheets for my little ones… topics to write about, what good writers do, and a writing checklist.
The right side has an alphabet chart and some word lists to use as reference, too.
Would you like to make one for your little ones?  I put all the label cards, writing examples, and reference sheets in a writing center starter kit, and you can find it in my TpT shop!  Please let me know what you think! 😉

Now onto the giveaway!!

I was lucky enough to get my hands on some of CTP’s new black and white designer collection to sample, and give away!  I think the colors and patterns are FAB!!  The border I used above is part of the collection, and so is this cute birthday set:
The giant cupcake!  The banner!  It’s just too cute!!  I used coloful magnets to arrange the pieces on my chalkboard.

Have no fear, you can own some of the BW Collection too!

The giveaway ends on Monday, May 21st.  Good luck!

This choice board for fast finishers is one of my faaavorite classroom management tools! At the beginning of each month, set aside a little time to go over all the tasks— that’s really all you need!! The activities are the same throughout the year, it’s the themes that change. For example, a drawing activity in February might be to design a card for someone and in September the drawing activity is a self portrait. Your kiddos will LOVE all of the options and you will love keeping your quick workers busy! Link in profile or bit.ly/CupcakeFast if you want to check it out!! ... See MoreSee Less
