Reading Strategies

Like many of you, I've used Animal Reading Strategies in my classroom.  I needed half page posters to hang in my classroom ... wall space is limited and I REALLY wanted to use these adorable graphics from The Pink Cat Studio so made some for myself.  I was so thrilled with how they turned out that I created even smaller ones to have on hand on my guided reading table.  I may put them on a ring ... I've yet to decide.

Anyhow ... since I had them made, I thought I'd offer them to you as a free download.  You can find them HERE in my TPT store.

Enjoy!

Build a Potato Person

My first memory of Mr. Potato Head was when my younger brother received one as a gift. I remember trying to figure out how many combinations we could come up with to assemble him.   Then ... we discovered there was a Ms. Potato Head - oh the memories!!!

Fast forward to a few weeks ago when I stumbled upon ... you guessed it Potato Head clip art!!!  My newest learning pack features eight math games that use potato body parts to Build a Potato Person.

Using the same potato pieces students can play eight different math games including:

Add 1
Add 2

Add 5
Add 10
Doubles 
Doubles +1
Subtract 1

"I can" instruction cards are included for each game to build independence and make planning and differentiation a snap.


You can find this learning pack HERE at my TPT store.
