Revisiting Old Posts: Pet Pals & Long Range Plans

Hi friends!  Just a quick post today to revisit a couple of topics by request.

First up....
Pet Pals Project
{Click here for previous post on topic}

When I first blogged about wanting a partner for this project for the year, I never thought so many people would be interested!  I WISH I could have partnered up with everyone, but of course, that was impossible.  A lot of people were able to reply to others and find partners through the comments, but I've gotten a few emails of people still hoping to get a partner!

If you are interested in a Pet Pals Project with your class and still need a partner, feel free to comment on this post.  It will help if you will include the following information:

1. Your name
2. Your email address (so that an interested partner can contact you directly)
3. Grade You Teach
4. State You Live In

I hope this helps the rest of you find a partner.  It really is a valuable reading/writing project that the kiddos LOVE! :)

Next up....
Long Range Plans
**UPDATE - I have an entire Lesson Plan Series now where you can download my Long Range Plans and much more.  Click HERE to visit that series. **

When I first posted my LRPs, my hope was to show you how I lay out my year in advance.  If Google Docs was kind and would let me upload WORD documents, I would have gladly posted my WORD doc instead of a PDF.  With that being said, I don't know if my WORD doc would be helpful or not.  I created my LRPs with just a simple table - and LOTS of merging.  If you had my document, you wouldn't be able to "unmerge" {I know that's not really a word} to change it to fit your needs.

BUT, I can share the actual bare-bones template before any of the merging so that you can merge and add your own info.  It will look like this {I didn't save a bare-bones template from this year, so you can see this one is from a few years ago}

This is my first time sharing a "link" on my blog from dropbox, so fingers crossed it works!  Just click the image below to download.
