This
is us right now! Although it was a four-day week we’re tired like we just
worked a full five days! We’re joining a new linky party called Friday
Favorites with Andrea, Narci, and Erika. We’ll be sharing some of
our “Teacher Favorites” with you this week!
We’ve been needing a double dose of caffeine lately with all these
back-to-school routines! Starbucks has been combining two of our
favorites…pumpkins and coffee. Pumpkin Spice Lattes have been a treat for us
lately!

For the past month or so we’ve been linking up with Traci from The Bender Bunch for Sped-tacular Sundays. They are certainly a favorite this
week! The linky party looks like fall over there. Recently we posted about our
Sped-tacular Sunday freebies. You can see that post here.

Teaching math. Can you believe that teaching math is one of our
favorites this week?! We’re soaking in the moment too! We just finished using
our Counting Coins Pocket Book
to review our money concepts and our students finally
grasped this challenging concept!
We devoted one week to each type of coin: penny, nickel, dime, and
quarter and really developed these skills. The U.S monetary system can be
confusing for our students to grasp. The coins are different colored and their
size doesn’t increase with their values. Our students loved feeling proud and
confident by the end of this mega unit. This math pocket book follows a similar
routine to those of our other pocket books. It contains
160+ pages and is presented at an independent level. We’re calling this a
teacher win in our book!!

Our
final favorite this Friday comes from one of our audience members! They sent us
this picture when they were prepping for our U.S Election Mega Unit.
(P.S you can see how we prep for each mega unit by checking out this blog post). We love seeing
our products put into the classroom! If you have photos of our products in your
room, please send them to us at doubledoseoflearning@gmail.com
Happy Friday!!
I love visiting your blog! We're using the election unit now and my students LOVE it! Thank you!! :)
