I was so lucky to be able to pair up with Rachel Lamb from The Tattooed Teacher. Have you seen her darling blog? She's my kind of blogger. Great tips for technology and her tpt store is to die for. I have found many ideas on her blog. It's my go to blog for ideas on Reading, Spelling, Science and more. One of my favorite posts from Rachel was a Reading Log Opting Out Form. I just love her clip art and fonts in all of her cute tpt packets. I can't wait until Rachel starts creating her own clip art. 

This year I was having a hard time covering all of the 2nd grade common core standards. It's my first year in 2nd grade and I needed something to beef up my guided reading centers along with my reading groups. I choose to preview Rachel's Sweet Summarizing Packet.
I. FELL. IN. LOVE Can you say ... SUMMARIZING HEAVEN

Let's face it. Teachers have a love/hate relationship with this strategy. It seems so straight forward to us as readers, but it is difficult to get students to determine importance and generate the main ideas rather than give details! They are all about details!

I LOVED the anchor charts, summarizing sheets for students, and recording sheets. 

Tons of colorful anchor charts

Flip books for Fiction and Non fiction

Now if you purchase this awesome pack before Wednesday I have a really neat GIVEAWAY planned. You will earn 5 entries into the giveaway. 
Have you seen these? It's a reusable Gingerbread house. My brain has been trying to come up with ideas on how to use them for many occasions in the classroom. I will be using one on Valentine's Day for sure. Maybe even if a table team has the most points this might be an option in the Best "BEE"havior catalog. All you need is frosting and a variety of candies. I ordered these while in Atlanta.  They are $29.99.  All you need to do is purchase Sweet Summarizing and then come back here and leave a comment with your email address and tpt username.
