A Sequencing Review

It is day #2!

We are loving our newly decorated classrooms, and our students! We have decided to change things up this year and rotate students according to level to better accommodate our ESL students. To go along with reviewing, reviewing, reviewing during the start of school we are offering our Sequencing Review pages for $1 for the next 3 days. (that is a savings of $2.50!)


This Sequencing Review is perfect for primary grades. It includes sequencing posters, hidden words, cut/pasting in order, reading passages to sequence, picture sorting, and sequencing short films.

The first story in our Reading Street books is an excerpt from Because of Winn Dixie. This sequencing review has a reading passage to go along with the story. In our classrooms this week we will be using this to review. Even though your Two Teacher Friends teach 4th grade, this is a great review to start the year off. It is excellent to use as a teaching tool to see where each child stands. The sheets included can be taken as a formal or informal assessments and students have fun completing them.

Another part of this Sequencing Review packet our students loooove (they think it is so fun) is the short film sequencing pages. We have included 2 different Pixar short films for students to watch and put into sequence order. The best part of it is they are short and sweet. Long enough to assess your students, yet short enough to keep all students interested.
Hop on over to our TPT store to grab our Sequencing Review packet for primary grades.

Happy Back To School!

August 10
August 10, 2015....This was the first day of school.  Our rooms were filled with adorable new faces and some pretty fantastic new personalities.  Usually, I would want to talk about that.   But not tonight.  Tonight I want to talk about August 10, the day one of the most incredible people I know was born.  Today we celebrated the day of birth of Mrs. Patterson.  She turned 28 today!  


I couldnt let today end without writing a tribute to her.  I have been blessed to teach next to her for close to four years now.  It has been four of the best years of my teaching career.  She makes every day better.  I can sit at my desk and hear her laughter travel from her room to mine and it makes my world happier.  She is the very best person to share a laugh with, making me laugh so hard that I very often cry.  Seriously, my make up is a mess most of the time these days!  She sees the good in others.  She always has kind words to say to lift another up.  She is always willing to lend a helping hand.  She is one of the happiest and bubbliest people I know.  She is a good wife, always saying kind things about her husband, and always wanting him lifted up and happy.  She is an amazing daughter, worrying about her mom and dad when they are stressed, calling her mom to laugh about the happenings of the day.  She is a compassionate sister, attending her brothers events, making each of their favorite desserts for no other reason except that she loves them.  She is a kind and caring coworker, thinking of others with a card, a favorite snack, a laugh, or sometimes a hug.  She is the easiest person in the world to talk to and can be trusted with even the scariest of secrets.  I could go on and on singing her praises because its hard to find any of her faults among all of her many amazing qualities including her ability to WOW a group of kiddos!  They all love her...how could they not?  To sum it up, I can say with all confidence that 28 years ago the world became a better place when she entered the world.  I will be forever grateful that God blessed me with her as a coworker, a confidante, and as a very true friend.  You are one of a kind, Mrs. Patterson!  Thanks for being you! 



  Love,

The Other Two Teacher Friend
