Color & Number Word Flash Cards

We've been in school a month, and I still have some students that are struggling with basic color and number words. Sooo, it's time to drill down and get these mastered. I made these small flash cards to help us get some additional practice. I laminated the cards and put them on binder rings, making them easily portable. I can grab them and take them with us to practice during restroom breaks.

I also printed another set of the color word cards to add to our word wall. I'm sure all you creative teachers out there can come up with a million other uses for them. Sharing is caring, so you can grab these on Teachers Pay Teachers for FREE! Click here to download and enjoy!

Stranger Things

wino forever

If you're a Netflix subscriber and haven't checked out their original series Stranger Things yet, you should get on that ASAP. I finally took the time to watch it this week, and it's definitely one of the best (if not THE best) things I've seen on TV this year. I was thrilled by it. I was moved by it. I was taken back to my 80s childhood by it. I wish I could watch it all over again for the first time. I'm obsessed to the point of stalking the cast's Instagram accounts, haha. Feel free to do the same, or enjoy some other cool Stranger Things-things I've found around the internets...

• Make It Stranger - How awesome was the retro title sequence? You can strangify your own text with this fun little online tool. 
  
• The Duffer Brothers on EW - How did Winona Ryder get involved with the series? What happened when Millie Bobbie Brown got that buzzcut? Find out the answers to these questions and more by reading the short, trivia-filled articles the show's creators wrote about each episode for Entertainment Weekly.
• Stranger Things & its influences - Throughout the show, there are obvious callbacks to the great scifi/fantasy films of the 70s and 80s, and there are others you may not have noticed. This great video is a montage of Stranger Things scenes shown side-by-side with the classic movie scenes being referenced.
• Film References A-Z - Speaking of film references, Vulture put together a glossary of every one made in the series. I have the urge to rewatch, or in some cases watch for the first time, all the movies on this list!
• Barb Appreciation - We were simply not worthy of Queen Barbyonce.

Thankfully, this week Netflix announced there will be a second season of the show. Until it returns, remember this...
