Magical Product Swap

It's product swap time!

Thanks to the 3AM Teacher for creating this cute button!
 

I was super-duper excited to be paired up with Liz from The Happy Teacher.

I had a chance to use two of her products in my classroom that go hand in hand.

AND

 

 

The Part-Part-Whole mats are absolutely genius and Liz provides a variety of them including:

4 different sets of cards (and a blank set)

Set #1: Sums to 18 (pictorial)

Set #2: Missing Addends (pictorial & numerical)

Set #3: Sums to 18 (pictorial & numerical)

Set #4: Missing Addends (numerical)

 

Each set includes 18 task cards which students solve and then record on the recording sheet.

Also included are answer keys to make correcting a breeze.

I decided to keep each set of task cards, recording sheets and answer keys all in their own plastic sleeve.

 

The Part-Part-Whole printables pack includes 24 printable activity sheets each with an answer key.

 

Thank you so much Liz for allowing me use your great products in my classroom!

 

I am really curious to read what Liz has to say about my product that she has been using.  I LOVE hearing that my activities are being used by other teachers and students.  She has been using my Tens and Ones Mystery Picture Bundle.

 

Liz and I are each going to give you a chance to win the products that we swapped.  Be sure to enter here on my blog and over at The Happy Teacher to double your chances.

I am off to read Liz's blog then to check out all the other posts involved in the swap!

 

Good luck!

Product Swap

I am excited to have linked up with Samantha over at Ms. Smarty Pants for a product swap.

The product that I had the pleasure of using was created by the amazing Karla over at Life in Special Education (her blog) One Room Schoolhouse (her TPT store)  It is a literacy work station called Picnic Snatch that has students working on ir, ar, ur, or, and er.

This 2 player game is player similar to 'Bump". To play the game each pair of players needs a gameboard, dice (included) and each player needs 5 tokens. Player 1 rolls both die, reads a word with the same vowel sound, and covers a corresponding place on the game board. If the place is already taken, the player can "snatch' it from their opponent and put their token on the place. Play passes to the next player. If a player is unable to cover a space, play passes to the next player. If a space already has the player's token on it, he can lock it, by placing another of his tokens on it on another turn. Players can only place one token on the game board per turn. The player who places all of their tokens in the gameboard first is the winner.

Here's a peek at the gameboard (and die) while I was introducing it to my kiddos.  (I picked up the ladybugs at the dollar store last spring along with some bees and they are PERFECT!)

So, I left my kiddos alone to go do some guided reading and when I returned they had finished the game and created a new version.

At first I was thinking "You're playing wrong!" but after I watched them for a minute I thought "How creative".  They had each grabbed a gameboard and were playing it like BINGO.  Since they were still getting the intended practice and were on task I let them go with it!

You can find this activity at Karla's TPT store.  She has very generously agreed to let me give away a copy of her unit!  I'll keep the Rafflecopter open until next weekend.  Good luck!!!

I love hearing what other people have to say about my products and to hear their opinions of other products.  If you do too, check out some of the other bloggers who have linked up.

Product Swap

I am thrilled to be part of the Magical Product Swap Hosted by Jessica over at Mrs. Stanford's Class.

I am even more excited to be showcasing some great products by Leah over at Learning 4 Keeps. 

I have been a follower of her store and blog for awhile now and was super-duper excited to have been paired with her.

This week I began using two of her wonderful products.  I've only have 3 school days this week to use them and I know I will be using them over and over.

 

First, is a Meet the Fact Family Powerpoint that is perfect for introducing fact families in a creative way. 

The powerpoint takes you through building a fact family step by step. 

The second is a matching Fact Family Fun Packet.

It includes a read aloud, posters and worksheets for students practice.  I haven't had a chance to use much of it yet, but I plan to.  Be sure to take a peek!

 

Leah is using my PB & J Compound Words activity - I am excited to read what she wrote about it. I hope she liked it!
