Spaghetti and Meatball Spaces

Hi all,

It seems like it's been awhile since I posted .. you know the drill ... back to school...family...  How can it be that we've only had 23 school days?!?  I must add that I LOVE my class! They are a wonderful group of first graders, but I just don't have mush energy left at the end of the day. :)

We've been working in class on Spaghetti and Meatball spaces in our writing.  A couple of years ago (wow - time flies) I created an anchor chart and have recently gave it a little update.  You can download a free copy in both color and black and white by clicking on the picture below or HERE.

Enjoy and I promise not to be so long between visits next time :)

Rug Rules

I just finished making myself a new mini-poster to use during carpet time this year.  I thought it turned out pretty adorably (how could it not with those cute kiddos!) so thought I would share it with you.  Just click on the picture below to download a copy.

Well, must run ... tomorrow I am back to work ... oh where, oh where did summer go?!?!

Greater Than, Less Than, Equal To

I am super, duper excited about my newest learning pack.  I've been working on it for awhile and although it started out small it just kept growing :)

You find everything you need to create an anchor chart to use as a teaching tool and hang in your classroom for reference.  Accents are in both color and b&w.

Use the following activity in a small group to have students compare numbers and decide if they are less than or greater than 50.  A recording page is included to check for understanding.

I've included comparing mats which can be easily differentiated.

There's also a true or false activity requiring the students to sort number statements.

I've added an assortment of print and go activities including a flip book.

and finally ... a few teaching tools including printable greater than, less than, and equal symbols.  in addition there are number cards 0-100.

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

Phew... thanks for reading through to the bottom of this post!

As always, I love to share so the first two people who leave a comment will receive a copy. ;)

Punctuation Anchor Chart

I LOVE using anchor charts in my classroom but oh boy do some of mine need a little upgrade. My goal over the next couple of months is to spend time doing just that!

This punctuation chart turned out so cute that I just had to share with all!!

I've posted the accents as a FREEBIE in my TPT store HERE and hope that you all find it as adorable as I do!

In this pack you'll also find an activity to check for understanding along with an 'I can' student instruction card so you can copy and toss it into a literacy station.

If you like this idea or have other suggestions, please let me know as I'm hoping to create a number of these :)

Have a great week everyone!!
