So I went to the beach last weekend and it was amazing!!!! Had so much fun. Totally need to go back and do it all over again. The one drawback - it was a little cold. I was inspired to create some beach themed activities in anticipation of summer!! I am so over this cold. I came back rested and ready to tackle the last 9 weeks of school. We've been working on alphabetical order and making contractions in ELA. We've also been focusing on adding tens and ones and really tackling odd and even numbers. In math workshop I try to keep things fresh by making new games. I usually start by introducing the game whole group and then placing it in a center rotation. Same thing with Literacy Workshop. It's always good to have the children reviewing skills we've learned throughout the year. My new little bundle includes the following: - an addition with and without regrouping game, manipulatives, and tens and ones workmat - an odd and even flip flop game - Beach words ABC order activ...

So I've been trying super hard to get my firsties fluent in basic facts. A big part of first grade is becoming fluent with basic facts. This new little packet has two tests for each fact, 0's through 12's. I LOVE the Wizard of Oz!! In fact my classroom theme will be Oz next year. Soooo excited!!! So I made this little packet and have been testing my kiddos.  This set includes 12 sets of two fact tests, 12 sets of flash cards, 12 mastery certificates, and a mastery recording page. I give each child a set of flash cards, printed front and back on cardstock, hole-punched with a binder ring to study before taking the test.  I put a set of flashcards and extra copies of the A test in a math center for practice with basic facts during math block. They can quiz and time their buddies for extra practice.  For the first A set, all problems are written with the fact currently being tested first (e.g. 1+6, 1+8). The second B set, the facts are written both ways (e.g. 6+1, 1+8, 7+1)....

Pretzel Place Value!! We have been working hard on Engage NY: A Story of Units Module 4 - place value with tens and ones. I thought I would make it a little more fun by adding snacks!! Food always sparks more interest. We are using pretzel sticks as tens and marshmallows as ones. The kids love it!! So I've created a little lesson plan and center activity. Here are some pics: Here is what is included:   Pretzel rods and marshmallow cards Standard form number cards Place value number cards Whole group number cards Recording pages: 3 styles from which to choose 2 center name cards: one including using pretzels and marshmallows in the center and one without Place value mat Ideas for teaching, using in lessons, and/or centers Pretzel Problem Solving Booklet Challenge activity - use Cheese Nip crackers as hundreds! Pretzel Place Value Have fun with this one!! Jessica PS Louisiana is "adopting" Eureka Math which is a new fancy name for Engage NY: A Story of Units. It's the e...

Yessiree, it is that time of year!!!! Mardi Gras!! I LOVE this season. Everything is purple, gold, and green. Everyone is prepping for parades and balls and eating King Cake and it's just great!! I am so excited for my Krewe's ball coming up on February 8th.  My guests are my friends Jessica and Mike and Anna. Of course sharing the table with my BFF Amanda and her guests Jolie, Snooks, and Raven. I might be missing some peoples, but with this lineup we are gonna have a BLAST!!! The theme is Circus!!!!!!!!!!! This is my 7th year in my Krewe and my 3rd year dressing up in costume rather than gown. My costume is: Made it myself :) And I made this little Mardi Gras Activity myself as well. It's about place value to the 100s.  Students match the feathers to the numbers on the mask. I've included 28 sets of feathers and masks. Students look at the number on the mask and match it with the feathers in expanded form.  E.g. 235=200+30+5 I've also included a template for a ma...
