Mini Bloom Ball Book Report
When I was looking to have my students create Bloom ball book reports I could not find any with the questions already in the circle. I also couldn't find any that would allow me to type my questions inside the circle. So, I decided to create my own. I thought others might be going through the same so I decided to make it available in TPT for free.
I will also be posting editable templates of the Bloom Ball at a later date.
*Editable version now available for a fee.

If I had $100... Creative Writing Prompt
Lovely Lauren says,
You've got to grab this great writing prompt for the 100th day of school! To celebrate all things 100, I thought giving your students $100 dollars would suffice! :)
Brainstorm with children what they would do with $100 dollars and just see what kind of creative responses you get!
Your kids will have to chance to have their face on a $100 bill! They could draw themselves, or you can take a picture of them and attach it for some added pizzaz!
