This Back to School Reading Comprehension Bundle is your new best friend for those first few weeks of school. It’s packed with short, fun stories that early readers can actually read, and relate to. From lost lunchboxes to surprise filled backpacks, these stories cover the real life drama of the school day (well... the kind of drama a 6 year old might face). The best part? These stories do more than just get kids reading, they help them settle in, learn the rules, and see that school can be a pretty great place to be. Whether you're reading them together as a class, using them in small groups, or handing them to early finishers who ask, “What do I do now?”, they just work. Why you’ll love it: The stories are short, sweet, and actually make sense to your students. They cover real topics like nerves, friendship, and classroom rules (without sounding like a lecture). Each one comes with a few easy questions, no extra work for you. No prep needed. Just print, pass out, and teach like the rockstar you are. It’s reading with purpose... and a little fun, too. Enjoy!

Back To School, Holidays, Holiday & Seasonal, Kindergarten, Preschool, Games, Activities

Do your kids like to sort things? I think this is a fun way to help your little ones, who are in preschool or kindergarten learn about sorting and putting things into groups. This is great for kids who are just starting school because it helps them learn skills in a way that is fun and playful. ✨ So how does it work? Students look at cards with pictures on them. They have to decide which group each card belongs to. They do this by feeding the card to a monster, which is a fun way for them to learn about different ideas they might see at school. ✨ What do you get? ✔ One hundred cards with words and pictures on them ✔ Ten mats with monsters on them which the kids use to sort the cards ✔ The cards are sorted into groups so it is easy for the kids to understand ✔ All of the cards and mats are colorful and look like cartoons, which kids like ✨ There are five different levels of sorting: 1. Things you do at school versus things you do at home 2. Good behavior at school versus behavior 3. How you feel versus how you do not feel 4. ✏ Things you use every day at school versus things you only use 5. Things you bring to school versus things you leave at home It is really easy to get started. Just print out the cards and mats cut them out. You are ready to go. If you want them to last a time you can laminate them. You can use them over and again with small groups of kids or with kids who finish their work early. ✨ This is perfect, for: • The week of school • Teaching kids social skills • Helping kids understand their emotions. Behave well • Building vocabulary • Speech therapy My students love sorting with the monsters. They laugh and learn and they like to talk about the choices they make. It is one of their things to do in class.

Unless you’re that one kid who insists on making the turkey purple because, and I quote, “It’s my artistic vision.” And honestly, who are we to argue? As your students work through these pages, they’ll unveil cheerful Thanksgiving scenes without even realizing they’re practicing focus and color-matching skills.

No stress, no prep, and no arguments over who gets the last crayon. Just good old-fashioned fun—well, as old-fashioned as numbered coloring can get. So, grab your art supplies, and let’s make this Thanksgiving more colorful than Uncle Bob’s questionable holiday sweater. Enjoy!
