Noun Sort Activity

Hey! I have added another noun sort activity to my TPT and TN stores. My students have LOVED these centers, and are able to work independently! The kiddos sort the nouns on to the person, place, thing or animal cards then record their answers. It's so easy I hope you'll check it out!

Addition Math Stories

An Addition Story

Last week I was part of a team of teachers who had the opportunity to visit 3 amazing schools. Our first stop was the Isadore Newman School in New Orleans. We spent the morning discussing curriculum and their implementation of Singapore Math. One of the main things I was reminded of was to do more "telling addition and subtraction stories".  It really was a 'duh' moment for me...so needless to say I went back and......

we have written two. The first story was about leaves and a tree, the other about a turkey and his feathers. Each story has a 'whole' and two 'parts'. The kids loved doing them and I think they turned out great!!

'ar' Words

This week we began learning 'ar' words. To help them remember the sound that 'ar' makes when it's in a word, I have the students cut out a star, that I help them draw, and write ar in the middle.  We also played this matching game today in centers.

You can get it here for free!

Have a great week!!

Counting by Fives

I just posted a quick, fun center on TPT...It's a matching activity where the student must match the number to its correct word then record the matches on the recording sheet.

Halloween Bingo, Monsters and Scarecrows!

I found the cutest game today at Artsy-Fartsy Mama. I'm thinking we can use it for centers during "Fun Friday".  Here's the set!

 Also today we read

During the story, the kids held the shoes, the pants, the shirt, hat, gloves and the pumpkin head! They had so much fun shaking everything when it was their turn. Then we made the scarecrow and it's sitting outside our classroom door. The whole school loves it!

Finally, we made our monster glyphs. I got these from Deanna Jump. We read these books

     
Then we made our glyphs. I did change it a little. I had them write about their monster by describing them according to the glyph. I think they turned out great!
