TpT is giving us one last chance to offer a HUGE discount on all products in our stores! TODAY--Tuesday August 22--TpT is throwing a one-day, site wide back to school “boost” sale: I am discounting all products in my store 20%, and TpT is offering you an additional 5% off with coupon code “BTSBONUS”. I expect that this will be the last opportunity for you to save 25% in this back-to-school season. Click here to see what I consider to be the must-haves from my store. I wrote that post just before the back to school sale earlier this month, and there are only three paid products that I have added since then (I have also added a few freebies which you can read about here, here, and here): I added two more weeks’ worth of daily readings, which means that I have officially completed Month One! If you hadn’t already purchased the first two weeks, which I published in the spring, I recommend grabbing this bundle of all 25 readings for just $15.00 (only $11.25 during the sale!). Want to see exactly what you’re getting in the readings? Click here to read the master list of what’s included in each week. The Elotito parody of Despacito is so awesome that I just had to create an entire mini-unit about Elote so that I could find a way to use the video in class. I added this mini-unit to SOMOS 1 Unit 8 (I also updated the Units 6-9 bundle), so if you already own that, please download it again from “My Purchases”. If you’re not teaching SOMOS, then you can grab the Elote unit here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSKCexgCyQs
