Little Mouse Freebie!

I'm using my The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry and the Big Hungry Bear unit later this month and needed another activity so I am posting it here as a freebie for you.

It's a color by word family activity and you can find it HERE for free.

I LOVE the book by Don and Audrey Wood.  You can read more about my unit HERE including a link to the book being read on YouTube.

Enjoy!

Add or Subtract? The choice should be easy...

Last night I mentioned that I was working on a math work station with those adorable strawberries from Graphics From the Pond. 

Well, here it is...

and here's the story.

Last week for a warm up I was asking students to roll two dice and tell me whether they would need to add or subtract to get a certain number.  One word ... FAIL!  (for many, not all) so I created this math work station to reinforce this skill.

To play this game students work with a partner or a small group and roll 2 dice, decide if they want to add or subtract the numbers and cover the result on their playing card.  I included an "I can..." card to build independence.  I included both color and black & white so you can decide which is better for you.

I have this printed, laminated and ready to use tomorrow.  Would you like to use it too?  It is available at my TPT store but I'll send a copy to the first two followers who leave a comment on this post.

Student Autograph Book Freebie

Have you missed me? 

I've missed you!!! 

I'm knee waist deep in assessments, report cards and all those end of year things that have made it onto my to-do list!  I keep telling myself that everything always gets done, so I'll just keep plugging away!

I've heard that some of you are already on summer vacation.  Say what?  I have 15 more days.  I am sure that they are going to fly by, right?

On the last day of school each year I give the students a little book and some time to gather autographs and phone numbers.  I was thinking of updating the one I've been using and then I came across some adorable strawberries by Me at Graphics From the Pond so I just had to share it with you!

I copy the cover, which is half of a letter sized paper and then add blank pages in the middle.

I have created a black and white version:

and a color version:

Aren't these strawberries the cutest?  (I've got a new math station in the works - it should be done in the next day or two).

If you would like a copy to use with your kiddos click here to download a copy.

On Monday Charity's Manic Monday post will go live and you'll be able to head on over to find lots more freebies.  Enjoy!!
