Christmas Sound Mats
I'm back today with another F R E E B I E for you all! These are so much fun and add way more excitement to sound segmentation + they are no prep!

Students will “push” a manipulative (candy, bells, pom poms) into the sound circle for each sound. Another option is for students to “smash” a … [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 going to get … [Read more...]

Back to School Read Alouds (Part 1)
Last week we hit the ground running with back to school read alouds. I am a huge believer in making time to read aloud books to our students. It is such a special moment for them. Seeing the excitement and expressions on their face is one of my very favorite times of our day. Just think...the read aloud that you provide to your students might just be the only book they have read to them all day. We started off listening to You're Finally Here … [Read more...]
CHEAP Camping Theme idea!
This year, our school is doing a camping theme. Our grade levels are divided into pods so each pod creates a different theme to go along with the overall school theme. The first grade theme is, Navigating Through First Grade. Each teacher is decorating the outside of their door as a different "place" that you might navigate through when camping. Mine is Hudgeons National Forest. I wanted to keep things simple around my door … [Read more...]
