Back to School Sale!

You don’t want to miss this! It’s back to school time (yes, it’s really here) and Teachers Pay Teachers is celebrating with a huge sale! My entire store will be 20% off, and TPT is giving you an extra discount.  Make sure to visit on August 4th or 5th and enter the code BTS14 to save on everything you need for the school year.

It has become a tradition here at Preschool Ponderings to do two blog posts for each big TPT sale – I like to highlight the items in my store that are a great deal during the sale, and I also like to show you what’s on my own wishlist to purchase during the sale.  So without further ado, here are some of my favorite items in my store that you’ll definitely want to check out while you’re shopping the big sale!

1. Emotions and Feelings Bundle.  This is my best seller, which kind of makes sense. I created it because I had completely run out of activities to teach emotions. It isn’t easy to find new social emotional activities, and the one’s that are available are all very similar.  This bundle includes 5 different emotion recognition and awareness activities that can be used multiple times throughout the year as children’s knowledge and competency grows.  All of these activities offer opportunities for differentiation and can be successfully completed in a number of different ways.  My favorite feature of this particular set is that it includes emotions that are beyond the basics – most children can easily identify happy, sad, and angry, this set introduces new emotions and feelings like confused, jealous, frustrated, and embarrassed. The regular price for this set is $5.50, during the sale you can pick it up for $3.96!

2. Social Emotional Activity Bundle.  I love my Emotions and Feelings Bundle, but I also wanted to share some activities that really promote social skills and encourage children to share their thoughts and feelings in appropriate ways.  All of the activities in the Social Emotional Activity Bundle are designed to do just that.  This bundle includes four different products to help children talk through their feelings, recognize why they are feeling that way, and appropriately react to those feelings. The regular price for this set is $6.00, during the sale you can purchase it for $4.32!

3. Teacher Resource Collection.  This collection includes 4 resources designed to help out the ECE teacher – The Project Approach Planner, Question of the Day Prompt Notebook, Classroom Recipe Book, and Reflection Checklist.  This pack will make creating lesson plans easier and faster because all of these resources will be right at your fingertips. I use my classroom recipe book at least twice a week – no more searching my pinboards for my favorite recipes! The set also includes three different covers, one for Preschool Teachers, one for Toddler Teachers, and one for Infant Teachers, so you can customize it for your classroom.  This collection is regularly priced at $12.00, but you can snag it during the BTS sale for $8.64!

4. A Year of Vocabulary Cards. Putting this bundle together has been my biggest project this summer, and I am so excited to be able to share it with you.  These vocabulary cards are a fixture in my classroom, there is always a set in the writing center, and I am constantly using them for different activities because I love being able to expose my students to new words. This Mega Bundle includes 379 vocabulary cards and 379 spelling cards.  There is a set for every major holiday, all of the seasons, and some additional common themes such as community helpers, fruits and vegetables, and colors (Click the link above to see a full list of included vocab card sets).  The best thing about this set is that it will always include every vocabulary card set that is available in my store, so if you purchase it now I will continue to add new vocabulary cards and you will be able to download those additional card sets for free! The regular price for this Mega Bundle is $40.00, but during the Back to School Sale you can get it for only $28.80!

5. Back to School Math and Language Bundle. I am so excited to use this bundle with my students! It has 2 really cute counting sets, a patterning set, back to school vocab cards, school supply letter matching, story starters and writing prompts, a community building activity for your class, and a special gift for teachers.  This bundle showcases some amazing artwork by very skilled teacher/graphic designers, and I can’t wait for you all to check it out! The regular price for this bundle is $10 (it’s a BIG bundle!), but you can pick it up during the sale for $7.20!

I hope you take a minute to check out my store during the sale, I’ve been working hard all summer long to bring you some great new items!
