What's happening....

I'm starting a new blog post each week to inform my followers about what I am teaching for the week. As I see interest in my posts I will add extra resources for teachers to gather more information to help support their lessons. If you are a fourth grade teacher be prepared to buckle your seat belt and prepare for resources a plenty. I will post the topics I am covering and a link to my TPT store to show products that I sale that pertain to the current topics I am covering. Also get ready for a sale each week on products that are useful for each particular lesson.
