Do you ever sell these lessons by themselves? Very interested in Spooky Sundaes. :) Thanks for all the wonderful ideas! LOVE your stuff!!
Hi, Jen! Thank you for your message and your compliments! We originally posted all of our lessons individually- just like you questioned. However, we figured that buyers would get much more "bang for their buck" if just bundled them all together. If you are interested in the Spooky Sundaes, we would be happy to post that as an indiv. lesson. Just let us know.
Thanks, Jen!
Between the two of us, we have taught a combined total of 26 years across all elementary grades 1-6. More importantly, we LOVE teaching and are excited to help teachers with their lesson planning!
