A Fresh Start

Well, it has been a while! Although the school year is over and I am enjoying some down time with my family, I really have been wanting to get back to blogging about all of the plans I have for the upcoming school year.
 I decided the best way to start would be to update my page and to get a few things loaded on Teachers Pay Teachers.
I hope you like the new look, it is from The Cutest Blog on the Block.  I am new to blogging and their templates are so easy to use.  I love the colorful details and of course the dots!
My store on TpT is http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Thoughtfully-Third . Take a look at my products and try out the freebie.  I chose Text Structure Task Cards as a freebie because my kiddos really struggled with identifying text structure this year.  Taking it down to the sentence level helped them focus on signal words and context and build the skill needed to tackle the longer passages.   I hope you enjoy them!
