Um, 00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:49.240 that's my passion once I get into that classroom, 00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:54.360 I am in my my place like that's my I love to 00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:57.099 be there I'm in my zone and work in and work 00:02:57.099 --> 00:02:58.840 with those little ones and teaching them how 00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:02.759 to read how to do math and all those things so 00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:06.379 if you're looking for additional resources you 00:03:06.379 --> 00:03:08.939 can always visit my teachers pay teacher store 00:03:08.939 --> 00:03:13.860 because I only have one one thing on my website 00:03:13.860 --> 00:03:16.099 so you can go to my teacher pay teacher store 00:03:16.099 --> 00:03:18.659 where all my products are available for purchase 00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:21.900 So let's talk about the product I chose to put 00:03:21.900 --> 00:03:25.340 on my web store, Get Ready for First Grade. What 00:03:25.340 --> 00:03:28.599 is get ready for first grade? And why am I so 00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:31.960 excited about it? Well, I chose that summer skills 00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:34.319 packet because summer really is just around the 00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:37.419 corner, less than 40 days away. Actually, if 00:03:37.419 --> 00:03:40.539 you want to know the actual number, it's 3838. 00:03:40.620 --> 00:03:42.939 So we're all looking forward to summer.

And I want 00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:48.379 to make sure you have plenty of time to find 00:03:48.379 --> 00:03:52.960 it so you can use it with your littles all summer 00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:55.939 long. and you'll have you know usually around 00:03:55.939 --> 00:04:00.120 60 days. I do have 71 pages in that particular 00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:02.280 product so you have plenty to choose from and 00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:06.439 to work with. So it's a 71 page summer skills 00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:09.860 packet designed to help kindergarten graduates 00:04:09.860 --> 00:04:13.840 transition smoothly into first grade.

This will give them that 00:04:27.899 --> 00:04:30.980 extra practice over the summer. Or if they are 00:04:30.980 --> 00:04:33.079 totally ready to go, this will keep them kind 00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:36.360 of up to date. and keep their mind fresh with 00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:38.720 all the things that they learned in kindergarten. 00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:42.279 It's packed with engaging standards -based activities 00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:46.139 in both literacy and math, making summer learning 00:04:46.139 --> 00:04:49.920 fun and effective. So here's what's inside.
