Vacation Anticipation and More Posters

I can't believe that we are already half way through summer and we only have 47 days left until the first day of school...only 40 more before the first teacher work day.  We will be going on our family vacation this weekend and I am so thrilled!!  I cannot wait to relax on the beach and play in the sand with my boys.  Let me just tell you that they are so excited, FOR REAL!!  Gavin, my 4 year old, asks me every--day, "How many days til the beach!?!"  He's definitely going to be one of those, "Are we there yet!?!" types of kids!! My little Landen is almost 2 and will finally realize what is going on this year...hopefully he will NOT try to eat the sand!! HAHA!! Fingers crossed!!  He eats just about anything!!   

So I don't feel like I'm behind while on vacation, so I can actually relax (I will try to!) and not think about school stuff,  I'm trying to get caught up on my creations before we leave.  As you can tell, I've been focusing mainly on reading resources.  I feel like during the school year I'm geared more toward math resources...maybe it's because of comfort.  Well I have been brainstorming ways to make the lesson planning a little easier and I thought that these posters would help me along the way.  I hope that you can use them as well when planning for fiction and nonfiction comprehension mini lessons.  Click on any of the pictures to download the posters.
