What is a Growing Bundle? Is it worth it?

I decided to bundle together most of my math resources. They are perfect for review, assessments, early finishers, and holiday & seasonal fun. I started with 32 great products already available that are perfect for 3rd grade, and they would work great for older students as review or for those who struggle in math. But I have several more resources I want to create. I’ve been putting off making my bundle because I knew there would be more resources to come.

That’s when I came across information on GROWING BUNDLES! Basically, a growing bundle is a bundle of resources that will grow. You purchase the bundle at a lower price, as it’s growing, and you get all future resources that are added for FREE! That’s right….. FREE! When a new resource is added, the price of the bundle goes up, but not for those who’ve already purchased it.

You can search for growing bundles on TPT. Most sellers explain what’s already available, what still needs to be created, and when new resources are expected to be added.

I’ve purchased some growing bundles recently, and I’m so glad I did! I go back to My Purchases often on TPT and check on any updates for the bundles. That’s where you will see when the seller has added more resources. You’ll download it again, and the new ones will appear!

So, I really do believe growing bundles are worth it. Especially if you find one that really fits your needs.

NOTE: The three bundles mentioned below are no longer growing. They have all resources added.

Holiday/Seasonal Restate the Question Practice Writing Activities GROWING BUNDLE

This bundle has 12 writing activities! If you want students to work on restating the question in their answer, here’s a fun way to work on it all year.

Students answer questions about their favorites and what they enjoy during the holidays/seasons. Students like activities where they get to write about themselves!

There are 3 different activities/options to meet the needs of your classroom.

  • Students answer questions with one sentence. They need to restate the question in their answer.
  • Students answer each question with one sentence, restating the question. They also get to draw a picture to go along with their answer.
  • Students can expand on their ideas! They write the first sentence like the ones above. Then they can write more sentences explaining their answers. These work great for DIFFERENTIATION!

These worksheets work great for whole group, centers, independent practice, and early finishers.

Why practice this skill all year and the same way? Great question! I believe students benefit from writing portfolios and seeing how much their writing has improved throughout the year. Creating books for these, or adding them to student portfolios, boosts students’ confidence. If they go from writing one sentence at the beginning of the year, to two by the end of the year, they’ll SEE that improvement and know they’re getting better at writing.

Since I’m loving GROWING BUNDLES, I decided to start another one with important grammar skills! I feel like grammar review is often put on the sidelines because teachers have SO MUCH to do, and not enough time.

These FUN grammar review activities are holiday and seasonal-themed color by codes. Students have the opportunity to practice these skills while having fun and staying engaged. YOU get the added benefit of extra activities to hand out during those crazy holiday times! Can’t fit them in whole group? These would work great with your early finishers!! This bundle is great 3rd/4th grade review.

Grab these BUNDLES that will give you all you need to review math, grammar, and writing ALL YEAR!
