We had such a blast sharing the things we love last year in honor of Valentine's Day, so we decided to do it again! 

Some of my blogging buddies and I have gotten together to give away teaching supplies that we LOVE!  

Check out all of our favorites and scroll down to enter to win ALL of them!

This post contains affiliate links. I earn a small commission each time someone makes a purchase using one of my links, which helps to support the blog.  All opinions are my own and I only promote brands and products that I have used myself and truly love.  

Mr. Sketch Markers are my absolute favorite for making anchor charts!  I love the bright colors - and the fact that they smell good doesn't hurt either.  My students also love when I use them to grade their papers!  I buy them on Amazon using Subscribe and Save to save money!

Flair pens are another favorite of mine for grading purposes.  I let students use them to revise their writing as well, because they love writing with them, so they always want to add details!

I do not know how I would live without my laminators.  Yes, that is plural! I have one at home and one at school and it is so convenient!

Even though I love my laminators, there are times when I need something quick and easy.  I love these dry erase pockets for being able to quickly re-use worksheets.  My students get extra practice, and I save time at the copier.

And speaking of dry erase, these are the absolute best dry erase markers out there!  My school buys a cheaper version, so I always stock up on my own, because they last so much longer! Again, I buy these on Amazon using Subscribe and Save.

Something about color makes everything better!  From boring worksheets to letters home, Astrobrights paper makes everything a little more fun!

Just like I don't like to compromise on my dry erase markers, I also don't like to compromise on the pencils we use in class.  Ticonderoga pencils are by far the best.  They sharpen so much easier than any of the others and they hold a point longer.

And last but not least, no teacher favorites list would be complete without Teachers pay Teachers! If you win this giveaway, you will also receive a $50 TpT gift card to spend however you like!

So, onto the giveaway...

Celebrate Ramadan With Fun Color By Number Worskheets

Ramadan is a special month for Muslims around the world.  As teachers, we want to honor our students cultures and traditions while providing a peek into the world for those you don't celebrate. One way to do this is through fun and educational activities like these Ramadan Color By Number Worksheets! 

 Your students can practice skills such as addition and multiplication, while coloring fun Ramadan themed coloring pictures!

Your students will enjoy these colorful Ramadan printables, and  the finished coloring pages can be used as a beautiful Ramadan decoration to display around the home or classroom.

This post contains affiliate links. I earn a small commission each time someone makes a purchase using one of my links, which helps to support the blog.  All opinions are my own and I only promote brands and products that I have used myself and truly love.

All About Ramadan

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and is observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting, prayer, reflection, and community.  During this month, Muslims abstain from food and drink from sunrise to sunset. It is a time of spiritual reflection, self-improvement, and strengthening family bonds.

When is Ramadan 2023?

It will be observed March 22, 2023 to April 20, 2023 this year.

Printable Ramadan Activities for Kids

Printable Ramadan activities are a great way to help students learn about the significance of the month. Ramadan coloring pages, printable worksheets, and crafts, are some of the most popular activities for kids during Ramadan.

Ramadan Coloring Pages

These Ramadan color by number pages are a great way to introduce your students to the customs and traditions of Ramadan. Kids can learn about the importance of fasting, prayer, and charity while coloring in Ramadan-themed images.

Where to get the Ramadan Coloring Pages 

 I currently have addition and multiplication  math facts versions of these printable Ramadan coloring pages. 

If you have a request for additional skills, leave a comment below! 

Each math facts set comes with (6) Ramadan themed color by number pages and answer keys.

Ramadan Crescent Moon Color by Number Page

We welcome each month with the new moon, and the famous crescent moon with the star is commonly used as a symbol of Islam.

Fanoos Ramadan Lanterns Coloring Page

This coloring page features Fanoos (also spelled Fanous or فانوس in Arabic) Ramadan Lanterns.  They are a traditional lantern commonly used in Egypt during Ramadan. The lanterns are used to adorn streets and homes during the month-long celebration. 

Color the Ramadan lanterns picture with this color by number sheet.

Iftar Time Dates Color by Number Page

Celebrate the joyous moment of Iftar time with this Iftar Time Color by Number page! As the day's fast comes to an end, every Muslim eagerly awaits the moment to break their fast. The tradition of breaking the fast with dates and milk is often followed by treats such as samosas, biryani, and more. 

Quaran Color by Number Page

The first revelation of the Qur'an came during Ramadan with the word "Iqra" meaning read.

Ramadan is a great time to talk about the importance of reading throughout time and in almost all cultures.

Kids will enjoy coloring in this beautiful mosque with three domes and a crescent moon on top to celebrate Ramadan.

Muslim Girl Color by Number Page

Your students will love coloring in this adorable Muslim girl wearing her traditional hijab.  It's a great opportunity to talk about customs and traditions for clothing all around the world.

And... I would be absolutely remiss if I did not share my favorite crayons ever! They color so vibrantly and no more broken crayons!

These Ramadan Color by Code pages are also available (with 6 other holidays from around the World) in my money saving Holidays Around the World color by number bundles.

The Best Book Deals this Week January 31, 2021

I often get lots of questions from other teachers about building a classroom library without breaking the bank, so each week, I share 4-7 books that are on sale right now. I also share books that YOU might like to read as well!

If you see other great deals, I'd love if you would let me know about them!

This post contains affiliate links. I earn a small commission each time someone makes a purchase using one of my links, which helps to support the blog.  All opinions are my own and I only promote brands and products that I have used myself and truly love.  

BOOK DEALS YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THIS WEEK!

Click, Clack, Moo Cows That Type is about a farmer who has a BIG problem - cows that like to type.  What do they like to type? Complaints!  They want electric blankets because the barn is too cold.  Things get out of hand when all of the farm animals are making demands.

The hardcover version of the book is on sale right now for under $5!

I Am Enough is about learning to love who you are, respecting others, and being kind to one another.  In addition to all of the powerful lessons, it makes a great writing mentor text. For example:

one line says,

"Like the sun, I'm here to shine."

Students can use this sentence to write their own examples.

Like a diamond, I'm here to sparkle.

Like a lion, I'm here to roar.

Like a spaceship, I'm here to soar.

etc.

The hardcover version of the book is on sale right now. 

 If you have Kindle Unlimited, you can read it for FREE!

If you are looking to diversify your classroom library, The Proudest Blue: A Story of Hijab and Family is a great addition! It's about a little girl whose older sister gets her first hijab and how proud the little sister is of her big sister.  Unfortunately, not everyone feels the same way about the hijab.

This book tells the story of the unbreakable bond between sisters and being proud of who you are.

Hair Love tells the story of a little girl with hair that has a mind of it's own!  Luckily, she also has a Daddy who tells her how beautiful she and her hair are. A great tale of love and acceptance!

What books have you been reading lately? Leave a comment below to let me know!  I am always looking for new books to read!
