Turtle Close Read FREEBIE and School's Out! Survival Pack

I have a couple of fun things to share today, one being the turtle close read that I just finished using with my students last week, in amongst robots, our field trip, and all the other things we pack into a typical week.  My kids are fascinated by turtles and had a great time learning more about them.

The pack contains everything you need for your very own turtle close read!

You can get your Turtle Close Read FREEBIE {here} on TpT
But before you go, I want to share with you something I just finished to help me get through the last 2 weeks of school…which we all know can be brutal. =)
 It is an End of the Year Survival Pack that includes morning work and activities for the last 2 weeks of school.  It also has a memory book and goes along with my Back to School Survival Pack.  It is primarily for first, but I've included the themed pages for Kinder and 2nd in case someone can use them! (not all morning work pages are shown)
I'll be sharing pictures of this pack later and also finishing up my ROBOT pack soon!
The School's Out for Summer Survival Pack can be found {here} on TpT and is on SALE for the next day or so!  If you want a chance to win it, leave a comment below!

    1. I had one more question that I forgot to ask, where do you get the beautiful real life pictures that you use for your TPT projects? I saw that the photos were credited on the bottom, but I'm unsure of where you can get these photos that allow commercial use. Any information on this would be helpful, thank you!!!

    2. Hi Mrs B! The photos I used for this free product are from WikiCommons (share) and are Ok to use since it is free and educational as long as I credit the photographer. Graphics for commercial use can be purchased from sites like Graphic Stock (they usually have a free 7 day trial) and ShutterStock (my favorite) Hope that helps!!
