School Year Kick-off Sale August 22 and Voting Activities

As everyone starts back at school, I would like to extend my best wishes to all teachers for a successful school year.  It is always an exciting time to meet the new students and watch them grow and learn!

As you prepare for the year, I wanted to let you know that you can save on my TpT books August 22nd!  I am having a 20% OFF SALE on my TpT books and, combined with the TpT general sale that day of 10% off (use promo code OneDay), you can save up to 28% off any books you purchase!  The sale runs Aug 22nd, 12:01 am ET - 11:59 pm ET
The link to my TpT store is listed above.  Come check out the many biographies, new phonics books, and book collections for K-6th grade I have available.  A good time to stock up as the school year opens.  

With much news focused on the race for president this fall, it is a great time to get students involved in learning about the election process and what voting means.  Setting up a voting box and having them make ballots and vote on favorite activities or favorite foods can let even the youngest students understand how each vote is important and what it means to win an election.  

I will have some new single books on the election process and voting that I will post soon on my TpT site!  Now several of those are part of sets such as in the First Grade Pre-Primer Social Studies: Level C-E collection which has stories on voting and being a good citizen as well as a number of biographies of famous Americans and a story on Veteran's Day - https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Social-Studies-Topics-Leveled-Books-First-Grade-Pre-Primer-Levels-C-E-457171.
