I shared this game on Instagram a few weeks ago and wanted to share it here, too! Y'all!!! It is a BLAST! We play it just about every single day in my classroom and have incorporated it into our phonics skills, sight word practice, and math skills. We love it. We call it Musical Words (when using it with words) and Musical Numbers (when using it with math). It is played like musical chairs -only with no chairs. Here's how to … [Read more...]
Make it Stick with Place Value
This week in math we have been working with place value from 100 - 120. I don't know about y'all, but once numbers go past 100...place value gets a little tougher for the younger students. I wanted my students to have as much expose and practice to numbers as possible so that these numbers would not be so tough for them. Let's face it, worksheet practice just isn't going to be enough for our students - they need activities that are … [Read more...]
Friend-Diagram FREEBIE
Hey y'all! I've got a fun little freebie for you to use when you teach comparing and contrasting! Friend-diagrams! Pair your students up and have them create their face and hair. They can also add their eye color by tracing around the black circle on the eyes with a crayon or maker. Afterwards, have them write how they are different from their friend on the outside circle of their face and how they are the same as their … [Read more...]
Tying Up Comprehension with Sequencing!
I wanted to pop in and share a quick look at some sequencing activities from my newest Tying Up Comprehension pack. This pack *might* just be my favorite. It is loaded with hands on activities to get your students excited about sequencing. I am going to let the descriptions in the pictures do most of the talking. First up, Bulls-Eye! This is such a fun activity! If you follow me on Instagram, I shared … [Read more...]
Cooking Up Main Idea!
This week in reading we learned all about main idea and details. This is such a tricky concept to teach to the younger kiddos so keeping it fun and engaging for them is crucial! We started off getting our chef hats ready and put on so that we could start cooking in our kitchens (aka tables). Once we had our hats all set, I grouped my students in groups of 2. Each group got a recipe card. Their job was to read the … [Read more...]
Homophones and Antonyms!!
This week in language arts we have been learning about homophones and antonyms. If you are looking for a great introduction to both of these, Moby and Annie from Brain Pop Jr. are your people! I always love using their videos to get us started. After watching the video, I gave each of my students a homophone puzzle piece. Once they read their word they had to walk around the room to find their partner that had the matching … [Read more...]
