ClassTag Gazette: October 2020
Happy October! Fall breeze, autumn leaves! Or is it stressed, blessed and pumpkin-obsessed? Either way, grab…
Plates full of turkey, family, friends, and a bit of extra time off. There are so many things to be grateful for this time of year. One thing we’re grateful for is all of the amazing Fall resources available on TpT!
We wanted to provide you with a list of great seasonal lesson plans from Teachers Pay Teachers (TpT). Every resource listed is under $5.00 (as of this blog’s publish date). Why $5.00? We’re glad you asked!
Currently ClassTag is running an exclusive offer that can get you a $5.00 gift card from TpT. Check out the Rewards tab! If you’ve been engaging with parents for the last couple months, you probably have enough coins to earn a gift card.
