It's That Time Again!

It's been almost a year since I have posted on my blog! How did that happen?! It was a crazy year last year. Probably the hardest and worst since since I started teaching. Without getting too detailed, some of the stresses had be questioning everything about myself, even if I wanted to continue to teach. But...the Lord brought me through and I am excited to start a fresh year! 

Tomorrow will be my first day in my classroom, so hopefully I'll have some pics to post - at the very least I'll have some "before pics!." Also, I just posted a couple things to my TPT store - a fractions workstation packet and my new chevron behavior clip chart (my old one was fading). Click on the images to check them out! Glad to be back in the blog world :)

Math Work Station Game

Hi Friends! I have been busy making some Boggle letters for my classroom...but as I was doing that, it dawned on me that the same format would be perfect for practicing addition and subtraction facts. So I stopped with the letters (I need to get back to that!) and created this:

The plan is for these game boards to be used as math work stations. The rules are basically the same as Boggle - add or subtract to reach the target number with as many or as few addends and subtrahends as needed. Numbers can be on top of, below, next to, or diagonal from any starting number. As you can see the blue boards are 3x3 and the yellow boards are 4x4. My students work in partnerships and will work on a different board each time they are at that work station. I am going to laminate these for durability - but I think page protectors could work as well. I'm really excited about these - and hope my kids (and all of you) like them as much as I do! You can pick them up here!

Hope you're all having a great day!

Math Work Stations

Hi Friends! I am writing a quick post to let you know I just finished my first of many (hopefully - we'll see) packs of math work stations - which deals with number sense. I think these stations will be great for 1st or 2nd grade and can be easily differentiated. Here is a little preview...
