A SECOND CHANCE TO SAVE... TpT Boost Site-Wide Sale - 8/20/14 (DON'T MISS IT!)


THANK YOU, TpT!!!  
Ever since the last TpT sale ended, I have been HOPING that there would be another big site-wide sale before school started!  Let's be honest... the first week of August, I wasn't quite thinking of everything I needed for BACK TO SCHOOL!  But, now that it is getting closer and closer to school... I have a HUGE WISHLIST of things I need to buy!  So THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!  I cannot wait for this SECOND CHANCE SALE ON WEDNESDAY!!!

So, don't forget... get up to 28% off with the PROMO CODE BOOST on...

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20th


During the first sale, I bought tons of great products.  My favorite was the It's a W.R.A.P! Assessment Bundle: 5th grade ELA Common Core from Doc's Shop. It's a WRAP (Writing & Reading Assessment Program) is a COMMON CORE ALIGNED ELA ASSESSMENT PACK for the WHOLE SCHOOL YEAR!  It is broken down into 3 categories based on the Common Core Standards for Reading Literature, Reading Informational, and Writing.  I am SOOOO excited to use this pack this school year!  THANK YOU, DOC!!!


I have a whole bunch of items on my wish list for this sale.  I am SOO excited to finally buy Kimberly Geswein's Commercial License for ALL HER FONTS!  I've been putting it off because it is $250, but now that a sale is coming up, I feel like there is no better time!  Every time I see a product I LOVE, I always look at the credits page to see whose fonts they use, and it seems to ALWAYS be Kimberly Geswein.  I'm dying to buy this license!!! :-)



Finally, one MUST-HAVE item from MY TpT store has to be my COMMON CORE MEGA BUNDLES!  It has EVERYTHING YOU NEED FOR COMMON CORE MATH FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR!!!  Here is what you will find in the 5th grade bundle (4th grade is almost identical but with 4th grade standards):

THIS 575+ PAGE MEGA-BUNDLE HAS EVERYTHING YOU COULD POSSIBLY NEED FOR 5th GRADE STANDARDS-BASED GRADING, STANDARDS-BASED ASSESSMENTS, MATH WORKSHOP, AND MORE!!!

This fifth grade math bundle includes six (6) products/bundles created to plan, grade, assess, teach, and track progress of all 5th Grade Common Core Math Standards, valuing over $70; PLUS this mega bundle also includes extra goodies including Student Test Analysis Sheets, Growth Certificates, Mastery Log Book, and 35 pages of Teachers Notes with photographs and examples to support you with your implementation of these products in your Common Core aligned math classroom.

+2 EDITABLE Documents (Editable Math Workshop Lesson Plan Book AND Editable Standards-Based Grade Book) 

WHAT DOES THIS MEGA BUNDLE INCLUDE?!

CCSS “I CAN” POSTERS (16 PAGES) 
o Every 5th grade math CCSS has been broken down into single, individual skills and re-written in kid-friendly “I CAN” statements.
o A SAMPLE PROBLEM is given for every broken down CCSS for further clarification. 
o These “I CAN” Statements and their example problems have been made into posters, so that you can POST CLEAR LEARNING GOALS throughout the year. 
o Posters are color-coded by CCSS unit.
o These posters have also been made into a single page (double sided) handout (color AND black and white versions included) to pass out to students, parents, or for you to keep handy at all times.


STUDENT DATA NOTEBOOK (25 PAGES)
o The Student Data Notebook is a place for students to track their progress for every 5th grade math…
• - Common Core Standard
• - Math Skill (based on the 8 Mathematical Practices), and 
• - Homework Assignment. 
o The Data Notebook takes all of the “I CAN” statements (and examples) from the posters and allows room for the students to record their progress for each standard. 
o Included is a “FIST TO FOUR WITH COMMON CORE” Rubric based on Marzano’s rubrics for self-assessment of every broken down math Common Core standard in their Data Notebook. 
o The Data Notebooks also include space for students to record their pre- and post- assessment scores so that they can calculate their GROWTH for each unit.


8 MATHEMATICAL PRACTICES POSTERS (16 PAGES)
o This bundle includes TWO VERSIONS of 8-Mathematical Practices Posters.
o The 8-Mathematical Practices Posters include explanations of SPECIFIC SKILLS expected of the students for EACH of the eight practices.


PRE- AND POST- ASSESSMENTS (FOR EACH CCSS UNIT) (74 PAGES)
o This portion of the bundle consists of 10 ASSESSMENTS (5 Pre-Assessments and 5 Post-Assessments) – 1 Pre and Post Assessment for EACH of the five CCSS Units (Operations and Algebraic Thinking, Numbers and Operations in Base Ten, Fractions, Measurement and Data, and Geometry)
• 90+ PAGES 
• ANSWER KEYS
• RUBRICS
• COVER SHEETS: Each unit has a cover sheet with all of the “I CAN” STATEMENTS written on it, along with a space for students to write their pre- and post- assessment scores and their GROWTH.
o Pre- and Post- Assessments for each unit are DIFFERENT! Although the formatting is similar, the questions and numbers vary. Therefore, students can use the pre-assessment as a perfect STUDY TOOL or PRACTICE TEST for the final post-assessment.
o Each question is aligned with a 5th grade math CCSS, and the standard code is written next to each set of directions.


UNIT TEST ANALYSIS SHEETS (8 PAGES)
o These sheets are provided for students to use to analyze their graded post-assessments to identify their level of mastery of each CCSS in that unit. 
o These are used to support the students in analyzing what they have truly mastered and which areas still require further practice or re-teaching. 
o I got this idea from Rick Wormeli at a Differentiated Instruction conference. 
o The analysis sheet requires the students to look through their graded assessment and analyze their results by checking off if they got the question CORRECT, or -- if they got it incorrect -- if it was a SILLY MISTAKE or if they DON’T UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT. 
o These sheets provide a plethora of useful information for both the students and the teacher, and identify which students need to be pulled for re-teaching.


P.O.M. (Proof Of Mastery) ASSESSMENTS (86 PAGES)
o 26 quick 1-page assessments (quiz/exit slip) for ALL 26 math CCSSs!
o Each POM has 4 questions.
o Learning goals written in kid-friendly “I CAN” Statements are written at the top of each POM to help students track their progress.
o ANSWER KEYS INCLUDED!


STANDARDS-BASED GRADE BOOK (SBGB) - COLOR VERSION (26 PAGES) (ALSO INCLUDES INK-FRIENDLY BLACK AND WHITE VERSION AND EDITABLE PPT VERSION!!!)
