Beanie Baby Strategies

Firstly, thank you to my son for typing this post for me, saying that, I apologise for any mistakes since spelling and grammar are not really his thing!


Sorry that I haven’t blogged much lately. I had eye surgery about a week ago and am still recovering. First it was really hard to look at any type of screen because of the light coming off it, now that is less, but my nose basically needs to be on the screen to read the text – and even then it is blurry! I return to school in 5 days so hopefully I’ll be right by then. 


This is just a quick post to let you know that I was able to upload my beanie baby strategy cards. Since I posted about them a little whiles ago, I’ve had a few emails asking if I was going to post them. Well, it’s taken 6 months (we start school at the end of January here) but I finally was able to make up the last 2 cards this past week and get it posted. And I tell ya, those last 2 cards took me aaaagggggeeesss since I couldn’t see the screen properly and had to keep taking breaks! Luckily I had my sweet boy available to help me convert it to pdf and get it posted! (I had to add that in, he wouldn’t type it :D)


Here are examples of two of the cards. It’s 20% off for the first few days.

 
I use the beanie babies in conjunction with CAFE, however I know that many teachers use the beanie baby strategies on their own. I’ve uploaded my CAFE headings as a free product on TpT (and since I’ve been using them since January, I don’t know why I haven’t posted them earlier!). I’ve already had someone ask for a chevron version, so once I can see a little better I’ll make them up. I’m hoping by Sunday I’ll be able to work on the computer so I can plan for Monday!
Ok, that’s it. Time to rest my eyes, they’re straining just from reading over this post. I tell ya, it gets very boring not being able to watch TV, spend a lot of time on the computer or read. It’s also depressing being in a dark house for a week! Short term pain for long term gain I guess! Oh, I did join Instagram as something to do when I got my new Samsung Note 8 delivered. I haven’t posted much at all being stuck at home, but I’d love it if you followed me! I think it will be easier to keep up to date with what’s going on in my class because it doesn’t take as long to write as a blog post. I’ll get a button soon, but I think you can just search for downunderteacher. Thank you!

  3. Glad to have you back posting. You have been missed. Hope your eyes fully recover and quickly too. If I was your son I would have added a few words of my own for a laugh and for you to find later. Luckily you have a gem.
