14 Days of Freebies - Day 13

Grab this writing freebie {HERE}.  I love making writing meaningful to students and sometimes that means making it more like a quick write.  I understand the importance of writing to a text and all of that, but we also need to let students know that while writing helps us learn, it can still be done for pleasure.  This freebie lets students describe their perfect cookie.  I love reading these because students get really creative with what they would make.  I have included lines for younger kids and lines for older kids.

14 Days of Freebies - Day 8

I love doing crafts in my classroom to motivate my students.  I typically do crafts that relate to our writing.  Writing can be a struggle for a lot of students.  When there is a craft involved, students love it.  See how I have used craft related writing {HERE} and {HERE}.

This craft comes with the patterns needed for one butterfly.  If you have older students, you can provide these patterns on cardstock and have them trace it onto construction paper (their choice of color), and glue the pieces together (layering the wings).

Multiplication Mystery Pictures



 

Ok blogger friends!  I have to share this great resource that I found on TPT.  It is called February Multiplication Mystery Pictures by Teaching in The 208. We needed some extra multiplication fact practice, and flashcards are boring, but who doesn't love coloring!?  So that is exactly what we did.

Basically, you give students these grids with multiplication facts on them and the students have to solve the facts and color according to the code.  There are three different levels for each mystery picture.  So you can differentiate the multiplication facts!  Since my third graders are expected to know their facts all the way through the 12s, we did the higher level one.  My kiddos that needed help, used manipulatives to solve the higher math facts.

 

I made my students write the products in the boxes before they could color, so I knew they were actually solving and not guessing.

 

Look at all the fact practice!  In fact, there are 225 facts on a page.  So, it did take my students some time to finish it, but they had fun doing it.  The pack includes 5 different pictures with three levels each, so you are really getting 15 pages of multiplication facts!  Totally worth it in my opinion.  I have already printed another one that I am going to put in for a center one week.  We did this one today because I wanted them to have it done in time for Valentine's Day so we could hang them up.

 

Can you figure out what it says?  You can grab this fun {HERE}.  If you like the February pack, she has other months available as well!

Super Bowl Weekend!

As most of you know, I am blogging from Phoenix, AZ!  And guess where the Super Bowl {Grab My Football Math Here} is this year!?  It has been crazy with all the extra traffic and excitement.

I wanted to let you know of some of the new items I am working on.  Since my 1st grade homework bundle {Grab it Here!} was such a success, I am working on a 3rd grade version {Grab it Here!}.  I currently use it in my classroom and both students and parents love it!

On the same subject, I have uploaded my new math word wall cards.  They come with definitions and pictures so the students can easily remember {Grab it Here!}.

Lastly, since it is now officially February, be sure to grab my Valentine's Day Print and Go Pack and my February Writing Pack!

Happy February!

P.S.  Since I am feeling so warm and fuzzy this month, if I can 150 people to follow me on TPT, I will throw a sale with giveaways!

Valentine's Day

So how did everyone's Valentine's Day go? Did you have a classroom party?  Were your students all full of sugar today?  Since I am a Resource teacher,  I do not have my own classroom party, but I did pass out valentines to all of my students.  

Today could have been worse.  It wasn't like the day after Halloween, so that was good.  Feel free to share your experiences!
