Tracy from Creekside Teacher Tales

Happy Sunday Bloggy World!  

Hi!  I am Tracy and I am the blogger behind 

Creekside Teacher Tales.  

I feel so blessed to be included in this extraordinary group of bloggers.  I still consider myself a blogging baby, coming up on my year anniversary very soon.  

Let me tell you a little about myself for those of you who don’t know me.  

This year will be my 3rd year teaching.  

I will be tenured after this year :) 

I went to undergrad for a degree in behavioral sciences/psychology.  I dibbled in that and tried out some finance.  But kids were missing from my life.  I had always worked at summer camps, babysat, taught dance classes, etc.  So, I went back to get my master's in teaching.  I was hired at one of my internship schools.  Thank goodness!! 

The name Creekside Teacher Tales stemmed from 

where I live... 

Born, raised, & still reside here.  How could I ever leave? 

My family, friends, & puppy dog are the most important things in my life! 

I am a... 

Ravens' fan, 

beach-oholic,

lover of pups,

bracelet stacker,

seafood obsessed, 

volleyball vixen,

creative crafter,

kitchen crazy, 

night owl, 

Law & Order wannabe,

curly haired,

creative juices overflowing teacher in Maryland! 

Now, there have been some AMAZING freebies here from the other ladies.  I hope you can enjoy mine as much as them!  

My exclusive freebie is an Interactive Book Recommendation Board for your classroom! 

This pack is just what you need to set up an interactive book recommendation board.  Print out the three sheet poster.  (I recommend laminated it.)  It can go along the top of the board.  

Then, print out the feelings cards and display them as well.  Check out the recommendation sheet options.  I included response sheets for how the books made the students feel, whether or not they’d recommend the book, and making connections.  Choose what works for your kids.  Print out a bunch and place in a basket by the board.

Here are the response cards on feelings:
