I’ve been meaning to set up a new storefront for many months and now I finally have 1/2 of it up and ready to use. Click on the tabs to view my various products. The cool thing about buying my products from my own website as opposed to TPT or Teachers Notebook, is that you will receive a 5% discount on everything! So, try it out and let me know what you think. I have over 160 products, so I’ll continue to add them over the next few days, so make sure to come back and see what else I add.
Also, if you are into freebies, head on over to my other site mixminder.com for tons and tons of freebies!

I have many fun St. Patrick’s Day Books for sell at Teachers Notebook and TPT.
The first book is a SUPER silly book. It’s called Leprechaun Math Goofy Glyph. If your students solve the problem wront, then they might end up with an alien leprechaun instead of a boy or girl leprechaun. This book is for 2nd and 3rd grades. It has some stencils in the back that you can print out for your students to use to make the glyph or they can draw their own.
The next book is St. Patrick’s Day in French.
Included:
10 full color St. Patrick’s Day vocabulary word pages
5 worksheets
4 copywork pages
1 matching game
1 completion certificate
I also created St. Patrick’s Day in Spanish.
Included:
10 full color St. Patrick’s Day vocabulary word pages
5 worksheets
4 copywork pages
1 matching game
1 completion certificate
St. Patrick’s Day Writing Workshop is a fun way to introduce St. Patrick’s Day vocabulary to your students while helping them increase their language skills. This booklet can be used at writing centers or workstations in a classroom. You can laminate the cards, then place them at different stations to help your students remember the words. Each writing center might feature one of the four different writing activities.
Another option is to hang the cards on your word wall or bulletin board and use the writing activities as daily activities that students can complete during the class period.
Included:
16 St. Patrick’s Day word cards
4 different writing activities:
Describing St. Patrick’s Day
Writing a Limerick
St. Patrick’s Day Wish Book
Persuading a Leprechaun
I also created three different Mathbooking St. Patrick’s Day Journal Prompt booklets. Each contain 10 prompts and are appropriate for different grade levels.

I created several Valentine’s Day lessons that you can check out at my store on Teachers Pay Teachers. One that I am especially proud of is Valentine’s Day Around the World:

There are 28 pages filled with activities for your students. My children enjoyed learning about how other countries in the world celebrated Valentine’s Day. They really loved the page on Korea since Korea has a ‘love-type’ day on the 14th of every month. They thought that was really neat.

With this booklet your class will visit six countries: Japan, China, Germany, Italy, Denmark and, as I stated before, my children’s favorite: Korea. Your students can keep track of their travels with their own passports, with flags that they can paste inside for each country that they “visit”. After each country has been studied, students can complete an activity sheet for that country. The unit concludes with a Valentine’s Day card glyph and a bar graph to chart the class’s results.
You can even do what we did for our Valentine’s Day card glyphs. Instead of them giving them to a parent or loved one, we sent them to a Ronald McDonald’s House with the hope that the families there will get a little smile from receiving the cards. If you don’t have a Ronald McDonald’s House near you, you can send your cards to a children’s hospital or you can leave me a comment and I can give you the address of a Ronald McDonald’s House that is accepting Valentine’s Day Cards in North Carolina, where we are sending our cards.
If you’d like to purchase this product you can do so at my Teachers Pay Teachers store.
