RACE TO 100! FREEBIE

While many of you have already celebrated your 100th day of school, I know many of you have said that with all of your snow days....you don't know when your 100th day will even be at this point! Well here in Nevada, where we've never had a snow day, our 100th day was Monday. Here are some of the activities we did!

The kids had to build a concoction using 100 cups!

Tootsie roll pop experiment!

We made predictions on how many licks it would take to get to the tootsie roll in a tootsie roll pop. Would it take less than 100 or more than 100??

They recorded their licks with tally marks using this sheet from TpT. 

The results were quite interesting and varied from student to student. Some students unveiled their tootsie roll in less than 100 licks, while others took almost 200 licks!

We made 100 days smarter hats!

And in our math station, students raced to 100!!
Simple, but loads of fun! Students roll a die and move that many spaces. The first one to 100 wins. Students can use their own gameboard and actually RACE by continuously rolling to see who gets there the fastest....or you can have students share the same gameboard and take turns rolling one at a time!

You can download this freebie from my TpT store {here}.

Stop back by tomorrow for......

Freebie Friday With A Giveaway!

Tomorrow is the first day of February and boy do I have a great Valentine Math Pack for you! I'm so excited with how every page turned out!

It includes over 80 pages of Valentine themed and CCSS aligned Math for the month of February! Activities are suitable for Kindergarten and first grade. The majority of the pack is no prep, but for those that LOVE colorful centers like I do, it also includes hands-on centers for number bonds, fact families, whole part part, roll & remove, tens & ones, and telling time. 

Don't want a pack that requires a lot of prep and color printing??

Then, this pack is still for you! Use it with or without the colorful centers as I have designed the center recording sheets so that they can be used with the center or also work just as a printable worksheet!

Here is a preview!

 Here are two sample worksheets from the pack that I'm offering for FREE!

Just go {here} and download the preview to snag these two freebies!

I'd also love to give another one away! Just pin it or share it on your blog or FB page. Leave me a comment below with the link to your share and I'll pick a winner Sunday night!

Oh, and isn't the "Be My Valentine" bunting banner on my cover page so adorable? You can get it and two other adorable banners for free from Paula Kim Studio {here}. 

Happy Friday!!!

Currently & CCSS Resources

Time for Currently with Farley over at "Oh Boy Fourth Grade." 

Have you checked out the Engage NY common core site?? This site was highly recommended by my district! Developed and maintained by the New York State Education Department; this site is loaded with common core aligned educational resources, instructional content, performance tasks, videos, and other great materials for grades K - 12. There are complete curriculum modules for ELA and Math, including aligned homework resources. It is a gold mine for the common core classroom! 

It took me some time to navigate through and finally locate the modules and downloadable resources, so to save you some time, here is the path to guide you there. From their homepage, on the left sidebar click on......

>curriculum modules for ELA and Math
>Common Core Curriculum (choose ELA or Math)
>Choose grade
>Then, you will need to scroll down to bottom of page and click on the module link that will be located on the RIGHT side. 

Bam, you're in! 

I have gotten so far behind at school working with my student teacher this year, but on the upside.....the Engage NY site has compensated for some of the lost time! 

A couple of other great sites I stumbled upon today while delving further into common core are "Teaching Channel" and the "Georgia Standards" Common Core site. You will want to check both of these out if you're looking for common core support!

Now for a YUMMY PIN! 

APPLE FRITTER CAKE......YUM!!!!

Recipe from "Nerdy Baker"

And one last thing...........an invitation to review an online program!

K5 Learning has an online reading and math program for KG to grade 5 students. I've been given a 6-week free trial to test and write a review of their program. If you are a blogger, you may want to check out their open invitation for a free trial and chance to write a review for them. You can access the open invitation {here}.

Have a great weekend!

Common Core Resource for SPED Teachers

A colleague of mine received this at a PD that he attended a few weeks ago. When he shared it with me, I had to order it RIGHT AWAY. This is an AWESOME resource for Special Educators that work with several grade levels! It's a flip chart, the size of a sheet of paper (8 1/2 x 11), that includes all of the ELA and Math CCS's for grades K-5 in one small flip chart!! Special Educators working with several levels can have all of the grade level CCS's right at their fingertips in one simple FLIP!! The book can be ordered from MENTORING MINDS for $24.95! For middle school and high school SPED teachers, they also offer the flip charts booklets for K-12 in both ELA and Math!
