One of my favorite books to read
when we get back to school every January
is Shanté Keys And The New Year's Peas
by Gail Piernas-Davenport.
Never heard of it before!
Well, my friend....time to go to the library!
That's actually where I first found it years ago,
and I liked it so much...I had to purchase my own copy!

It's a cute, fiction book that gives a multi-cultural look
at what different people in different cultures may use
to celebrate the New Year.
Since I really like this character,
I decided to make some graphic organizers
for Shanté Keys.....so here are some freebies for you!
Write 3 sentences about Shanté Keys.
Shanté Keys is...
Shanté Keys has...
Shanté Keys can...
Different lines for different classrooms!
Black and white versions for the economical teacher!
Shanté Keys Bubble Map
Draw a picture of Shanté Keys and
write three sentences or things about her.

CHA CHING!
Now that's a bargain!
I'm excited to share some NEW things
that I've been working on over the Winter Break:
A new series I'll be making are Sentence Bubble Sheets
to help my students with the dreaded bubble tests
that they are now required to take at the end of the year.
....because they're 5 and 6 years old and THAT'S appropriate...
Sorry, couldn't help it.
I don't want my students to panic or feel overwhelmed
when they see a bunch of words and bubbles.
Let's put this in perspective!
They're only five, people...
as in they've only been walking for 4 years,
talking for 3 years,
and potty trained for 2 years (give or take)....
and now you want them to bubble in multiple choice
answers to sentences that they read by themselves???
We are too much alike.
I literally inserted my sarcasm up above
before I read this entire post.
Yep! You said it perfectly!
Thank you Common Core police.
I thought the sign on my door said Kindergarten,
not the 'new first grade.' Good times...
Aw snap! Was that out loud?
In case you're wondering....
I'm COMPLETELY OPPOSED to Kindergarten students
bubbling in multiple choice answers,
but I'm just a lowly, Kindergarten teacher
who has to do what she is told....
so my motto is: Prepare them,
and it better be cute, darn it!
Since I don't want total melt downs and sheer panic
overhauling my classroom during THIS year's test...
..and that's just from the teachers! Can you imagine
what the short people will be doing?!
I REFUSE to see tears and rolling on the floor in despair,
because they feel overwhelmed.....so...
I'm going to REALLY prepare my kiddos with the idea that:
It's OK if you see lots of words on a page
and teeny bubbles to bubble in all over the place!
With this in mind, I am PLANNING
on making quite a few of these Sentence Bubble Literacy Sheets....
so I am offering the entire bundle at a deep discount
right now since there is currently only six in the pack...
more will be added, I promise!
Anyhooo, if you're interested in saving $$$$ here is the pack for you!
Buy now for the best savings!
The price will go up!
Thanks for thinking outside the box,
or is that bubble?,
and helping us prepare for the inevitable.
Sentence Bubbles Bundle:
I know....all you're hearing is Blah, Blah, Blah....
and thinking: I STILL can't get over that you have to give
five year olds a multiple choice bubble test!
I know right?!
