So, today I am going to post about Probability again! Bare with me! I promise it’s worth it!! Even better…there is a freebie for all of you who stick around!! Yesterday, I had some help from the super fabulous Amy Lemons’ and her What’s the Probability unit. If you haven’t purchased this…you are totally missing out on some fabulousness!! The packet is spectacular! We got started with her Heads or Tails activity and let me just say….this was loads of fun! Um just a little side note: maybe I should have had a little demonstration activity on how to flip a coin prior to the activity, but hey it would be rather boring if I wasn’t catching flying pennies during math time right?!? Here is a little peek at our graph and activity we did. 
You can actually print this little activity out on regular white paper, but paper is like gold at my school…so I savor every bit of it!! Plus, I have mounds of manilla paper that is going to turn brown if I don’t do something with it a-sap! We are reviewing contractions this week, so I had pinterest there to help!! I snagged this little cutie up from The Weekly Hive. Way cute…..and the template is free! Can I get a SAA-WEEET!! 
Ok, I am totally skipping all over the place, but that is literally how my brain works! Back to probability…we did some assessing today to wrap up our probability skills with this triple pouch book! And, we even added them to our library! My kids felt like some mighty math authors with some super probability skills! 
Nothing real fancy…but it’s free so that makes it something super special!! Click {here} to download the probability book! I am off for a deliciously free meal at my in-laws!! Happy Thursday sweet friends!

While I’m sitting at OT for little P, I thought I’d share a fine motor activity with y’all! 😬 I’ll be doing preschool with him at home next year (his daycare got torn up by a storm🌪) and fine motor + alphabet are two things we’ll be hitting all year. So, I wanted to incorporate as much of both into one activity as I could. 💪 These lacing cards are going to work his little fingers all while learning the alphabet and letter sounds. 🍎 These (+ several other fine motor mats) are available in my store! // Link below 💜💜 www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Alphabet-Activities-Lacing-Letter-Mats-Fine-Motor-Lacing-Card...
A few years ago I used this Friend-Diagram activity with my students to teach compare and contrast! I always love how they turn out! It’s FREE on the blog and I re-shared it in my Weekly Recap (several weeks ago) on the blog, too! Hope you can use it! Link here 👉 // smittenwithfirstblog.com/weekly-recap-3/
Sticky Tables was a class favorite years ago! It gets kiddos up and moving!! 🤩 It works with multiple subject areas/standards and can also be used for informal assessments! 👍 My last post showed how to use it with skip counting and here I show it used with subitizing/number sense, ABC order, and handwriting practice. See previous post for directions on how to play 💜💜
Re-sharing this skip counting number lines activity from years ago! 👉 Skip counting from any given number is such an important skill for our little ones - not just reciting 2,4,6,8,etc! Here's how we did it! Put sticky notes on the table, each student chooses one sticky note to start off with and then they just fill in the boxes using an expo marker on their desk! You could even use washi tape to create the number lines!
