We’re starting out Back to School With Guess Who with a HUGE bang today. Welcome my blogging buddy Leanne from Leanne Baur’s Creative Classroom. You are going to be SOOO glad you stopped by today.
Hi there! This is Leanne Baur from over at Leanne Baur’s Creative Classroom. I am so excited to be guest blogging for my good friend, Marsha, from A Differentiated Kindergarten! She told me you are super-fab readers so today, I wanted to bring you some super-fab resources to use in your own classrooms. If you like what you see, leave a comment and maybe I’ll get to come back again! LOL! I promise I’ll bring more goodies!
For Back-to-School, I know the most important thing to you is filling up your files. Today, I am going to help you do that. Everything that I post today is currently a paid item in my teacher store that you will receive for FREE! Only readers of this blog post will get them for FREE!!! How am I going to do that? I will be using Google Docs where only folks with the code can get them for FREE! Smart thinking, huh? 😉
The first thing I am going to give you is my resource, Poems and Songs All Year Long. This resource includes poems and songs for each season, written by me! No one else will have these unless they purchased them from my teacher store. You can use them in centers, as whole group lessons, or hang them around the room as part of your decor. Older primary students can copy them or illustrate them. Just use your imagination! Click the pic to download it!
The next resource I am giving to you is one that a follower of mine requested and it’s called, Ready Words for Kids. This is an EDITABLE word book for your students. It is already programmed with basic sight words for grades Pre-K to 2 but you can ADD to them or CHANGE them if you wish! Simply click on the text boxes and add whatever you like to suit the needs of your students. Now THAT’S differentiated instruction! This would work well in cross-curricular areas as well. Download now by clicking the next pic!
Having fun, yet? I thought you might be! The next resource up for grabs is also EDITABLE and will make you a HIT with parents! It’s my Editable Month-by-Month Newsletters that will allow you to type whatever you like into the whimsical pages! I LOVE these and can’t wait to use them. They are NEW this year. Here they are for you…
To go along with the classroom theme, I am including my EDITABLE Classroom Labels and Tags. They can be used as name tags, cubby labels, classroom signs, book bin labels, group tags, word wall cards, and more! Again, you can program these however you would like! This is a BIG TIMESAVER here! Click below to make it yours!
Finally, I have an item that is already FREE in my TpT store but you’ll have to go there to grab it! Yes, it is a secret so you will just have to go and find out what it is! (Hint: It’s an adorable and unique Back-to-School printable activity that your students will LOVE!!!) Here is the link… Back-to-School FREEBIE TpT While you are there, be sure to pick up my 12 other CLASSROOM FREEBIES! You can even visit my graphics shop to pick up MORE FREEBIES if you’re into adding clip art to your stuff! See for yourself here…
I just want to say, “thank you”, to Marsha for having me guest blog here! Please be sure to share this post with as many people as you can. They will ONLY GET THESE FREE ITEMS HERE at A Differentiated Kindergarten. If you want to visit my blog for FUTURE FREEBIES and creative resources, click below and be sure to FOLLOW!
I hope to see you again soon! Love and Hugs,
This was like Christmas Morning.
Thank you for all the wonderful packets. I can’t wait to start using them.

I am a music teacher, and I found the poems to be a lot of fun! We will definitely be adding music to them! Also, your sight word book has inspired me to make a word-wall book for my students that they can use while writing guided-listening written responses! Thank you!

Thanks for the freebies — but I cannot seem to access them. When I click on the pictures, it just sends me to a Google drive site… what am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help!
Hi AnnaMarie,
It should take you to Google Docs. You will just need to go to “File” and “Download Original”. If it’s not taking you to GD, let me know! Leave your email and we’ll get those out to you! 🙂
Each link is taking me to google drive… my email is azviking10@q.com

Sorry to be the difficult one here, but what program do you edit these in?
The very service provider that you will need for a great kick start and then taking it to another level with many useful features and tech support whenever you need it.
mass mailing service
Great article about all ionvlved. I volunteer for this organization and love it!We do great things and are proud of it. Some like the fame and fortune but Marsha is always last to toot’ her own horn. I have seen some dogs that I think there is NO way we can make it better but ..with some medical care provided by our wonderful Foster families, add a little love and you have a dog that can be adopted out and move on to the next .One dog at a time.
