Hi all!

I have been busy updating a few of my original teaching resources because I’m always coming up with more ideas! One being one of the first few I added to my Teachers Pay Teachers store back in 2013! It seems like just yesterday I began my TPT and blogging journey but in actual fact it’s been over two years!

A lot has changed in that time! The availability of more fabulous clip art and the introduction of many graphic designers with much clearer (and cuter!) graphics to suit our needs has been amazing!

So…. I thought I would give one of my best selling resources (My Community Helpers Unit) and bit of a spruce up! The pack is now 68 pages and I have used some newer graphics and borders. I have also added more activities into the pack and have included more community helper occupations. However, the price is still the same!

What’s included :

• 10 page Mini Book – My Community Helpers. (Children colour in and read – Can be used as an Emergent Reader for their book boxes or for guided reading sessions)

• Label It Sheets – (Both colour and Black and White.) Can be used as posters, on Interactive Whiteboard for whole class introduction or lesson and individual black and white sheets for children to do independently. (Great for beginner writers!)

• Wall Banners and Headers – 3 different sizes to display on your bulletin boards

• Word Wall Labels – to use as a visual aide to assist with writing

• Flashcards & Matching Names – To be used for oral language/vocabulary extension (Can use for games such as Guess Who, I have do you have, 20 questions and other descriptive language games, Matching games, Print twice for memory games/concentration.

• Who am I Worksheet – children record the names of the occupations near their pictures and colour in.

• Word Search
