We Have Been Busy Busy Bees!

In addition to our Teeny Weeny PD that is coming up August 3-6 (FREE, it’s not too late to get the links to the Zoom and the YouTube recordings), it is SALE week!!! We have been hard at work all summer creating new things to help you get back to the classroom with less stress. On Tuesday, August 4 and Wednesday, August 5, 2026, everything on both  Somewhere to Share and our TPT store will be on sale! On TPT, use code BTS26 for an additional 5% off the 20% you see in the store on those days. On Somewhere to Share, everything will be 25% off no code needed!

Our first big release is Huellas Your Way 1! It is a grammar and vocabulary expansion pack designed to prepare students for the language they will encounter in the original Huellas units. These materials are not separate units and are not intended to replace the Huellas curriculum. Instead, they provide additional support before students begin each unit so they can enter the readings, discussions, and activities with greater confidence. You can buy a full bundle for Huellas 1.1-1.15 or buy them in 5 unit mini-packs! Huellas Your Way 2 is coming soon!

We also released the Teacher Guide and Audio Book for three books! impACTO and impACTE and L’esprit de Mélusine. The guides for these readers are designed as a lesson plan, so it takes the guess work out of how to teach a reader-based unit! Find El espíritu de Xólotl readers on Somewhere to Share for the best prices or on Amazon if you need to purchase them there. Click the title for the Amazon link to L’esprit de MélusineimpACTO, and impACTE. All resources (guides and audio books) are available on Somewhere to Share and on TPT. We would love for you to bring our readers into your classroom this year as whole class reads, lit circles, or FVR/SSR. Mélusine and Xólotl are written for late late level 1 or any time in level 2+. impACTO and impACTE are designed for intermediate studetns in level 3+.

Filling a reading library can be a difficult task when budgets are tight. The La ciencia detrás de tiCómo sobrevivir  and Comment Survivre series from Somewhere to Share aim to solve that problem. Buy one copy and print and distribute to all of your students or print copies to place in your reading library. Buy individual books or buy the whole bundle on TPT or on Somewhere to Share!

In Spanish, we have a new reading about the dark side of Airbnb. They’re great for vacation getaways, but they are causing housing problems across the globe and making housing inaccessible to residents in many communities. This is one of our “Huellas Freeform” units. It is designed to be taught either in person or assigned as a sub/asynchronous assignment. Perfect for distance learning days, quick sick day plans that last 3 days, and of course to work with together face to face in class.

We launched another Empreintes unit (and have TWO more launching by September). This one is about sustainable palm oil and is built around a commercial from Greenpeace. If you already own the bundle, this is already added to your purchase. If you haven’t bought it yet, it is currently a “growing bundle”. That means you pay for the units that are already created and all new units are added to your resources at no cost! 

We launched a freebie about the amazing YouTuber Rob Kenney who, during the pandemic shut down, became a dad to millions of kids who didn’t have one via his online tutorial video series. It is called Dad, How Do I? and is available in Spanish and in French on both TPT and Somewhere to Share.

And finally, we created a set of 6 teacher tool kits. We call them our “Level Up Teacher Decks”. You can buy the decks individually or purchase the complete bundle. Each deck contains 25 different activities that target different, common classroom situations. If you need to get them chatting, the Start the Conversation deck has the activities you need. If you want to perk up a quiet class or redirect a rowdy one, try our Change the Energy activities! We think you’ll love them all!

Start adding items to your cart any time, and don’t forget… Reviewing resources you bought in the past gives you $$$ toward your back to school purchases this year!!

Don’t forget to use code BTS26 at checkout Tuesday, Aug 3 and Wednesday, Aug 4 on TPT. No code is needed if you buy here on Somewheretoshare. Get the best deals of the year on all curriculum, teacher guides, audio books, readings, songs of the week, clip chats, and printable wall decor!!
