Freebie on the First - Going to Brightly Beach

Wow. May is here already. Which means it is time for Freebie on the First. And after checking for the post all day, I am finally linked up - click the Freebielicious button to the right. I couldn't decide what freebie to offer. For Mother's Day and Father's Day, I am working on interactive readers about family (and a few games too!). So check out Fridays in May for a freebie to go with those.

It is vacation time! We still have all of May and half of June before Summer Break here but who doesn't love the beach.

I created a Bright Beach Calendar Pieces Plus set (with multiple patterns of calendar pieces and headers, printable calendars, and recording sheets to use extra pieces in centers) a coordinating Bright Beach Write the Math Room (with addition, subtraction, ten frame, base ten, dominos and a variety of recording sheets) and a new game Brightly Beach Balance It! (for use with number balances)

....all with freebies in the download preview on TPT links above or TN.

Since we are in a beachy frame of mind, why not create Brightly Beach in your classroom? Do you have a sensory table? Hide laminated cards in the sand. Have the students use a small pail and shovel to find and record the numbers from sand. No table? Use a Rubbermaid container. Sand too messy? Simply put the cards in a pail and have the students take turns pulling a card.

Thanks for stopping by!

Here is a sample of my Reptiles Graph It from last week in action. My kinders worked in groups to create graphs and write sentences about the data.
