Fall Math Freebie

Fall Kids Roll & Cover Freebie

We have had super busy week 2 at school. We learned to play Roll & Cover. We solved problems like "what happens when we roll a number and there aren't any uncovered?" We also played around with choices for Math tools. Did we like the 2 sided counters or unifix cubes better? One allows us to stack and the other means we can share pieces.

Here is a free Fall Kids Roll and Cover for you. 

I also added these pages to my Fall Kids Write the Math Room (and Games too) unit.

1. Do you keep free write journals? My kinders like to keep journals to write in when they finish early or don't eat breakfast or there is indoor recess aka Magic School Bus and draw a picture or an IEP meeting runs long or you get the picture. They can write and draw anything they like, revisit old work or write about topics I give them. Once a week, we take time during calendar to share something we wrote that week so I like them to work in their notebooks in order. Usually, I give them a sticky note to mark the place...but I'm using bookmarks this year. I made Writing Bookmarks.

2. For my Friday Freebies, I decided on a growing freebie. Each Friday for the next few weeks, I will be adding bookmarks to a freebie file on TPT. Last week's bookmark was Adventure Awaits. I resized it in different options and directions for you to choose from. I also added 2 writing bookmarks. Star Writer and Write On using the kids with pencils above. Check out the growing freebie here. I'm linking the freebie with TBA's Freebie Friday so hop over there and check out everyone else's freebies as well.

3. I'm still battling sinus issues and some vertigo but had good headway with doctors visits this week. Then I was able to get a good number of new items finalized and posted to my TPT store this week. Click here to check out some different versions of Write the Math Room.

4. I get back in my classroom on Monday. I'm so excited as it is a new to me classroom. I've been sorting and resorting all summer. 

5. Since it is my last full Friday of vacation, I took my girls to the farm. It was the youngest's first pony ride. The park near us has a 4H petting farm so she loves to pet the goats and we like to visit the zoo. But she got to this.... 

Have a great week.

It is August! Five for Friday

August...Almost Back to School

1. Edu-clips had this great freebie today so I made it into a free bookmark.

2. I'm changing schools for the new year...still in Kindergarten. : ) Before I started bringing in my books and files, I wanted to drop off a little something for the custodial and office staff. So my little one and I took this over this week. I'll get to start moving in the 11th.

3. You've probably heard about the BIG TPT sale.

My TPT store is 20% off August 4 & 5. Don't forget to enter the promo code for the extra TPT discount. I even figured out how to make a banner for the store with different product covers. I'll keep working on it. : )

4. I've finally put my alphabet cards into units for TPT. I've used these all this year. I print them 50% and use in a small pocket chart. My kinders use them to complete an alphabet book center - a folder with circle maps, sentences and handwriting practice. You can check out a free sample as well as download the generic recording sheets. 

Here are some of the recording sheet options.

You can pick up the sets as well:

A to F

G to L

S to Z
5. I'm glad that it is still SUMMER.

Have a great weekend!

Five for Friday Vacation Style & Apple Sounds

I'm linking this post up with Five For Friday and Freebie Friday. : ) 

Five for Friday- The last few weeks

1. We went on vacation for 2 days to the BEACH. The sand was too cold for toes but we had fun running up and down it and into the waves.

 

 2.We went to the pool while visiting PapPap. Always use your noodle.

3. I packed up my old classroom getting ready to move into a new one. After moving a few things (including lots of books) in random containers, I to buy packing boxes. Now to get it all organized and into my new classroom.

4. I worked on our county technology connections with some great ladies - formatting, linking, and lots more.

5. A new unit and freebie.
Teachers will use anything to make centers ...especially kitchen supplies. Last year, I made a candy corn phonics center using pie plates. The kids loved sorting into the plates. This made me remember peeling apples and making pies with my grandmother. For this Fall, I made apple sounds sorts with fun sorting mats including ...pie plates.

You can cut the pieces into squares or apple shapes, sort directly in the pie plates or use the apple crate mats.

Here we sorted onto a tree mat.and drew our own.

Check out the complete unit with over 450 apple cards to sort beginning and end sounds, 10 focus sounds with printables, & variety of sorting mats.

Click the preview to download the Freebie Sampler with sample apple cards featuring /m/ and /b/, sorting mat and printables.

Have a great week!

Match It!

Match It!

One of my most popular sets on TPT is 

It may be all about the pin: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/61924563599193168/

because it gets re-pinned more than anything I have ever pinned but I  it may be the open book look. You can also check out the post Rhym-ominoes from last year (which contains a its own freebie). I've updated Rhyme It! with a few more printables. 

I also created a new unit in the same style...like an expansion pack. The first is for the beginning of the year - Alphabet (letter to letter and letter to picture) and Beginning Sounds (picture to picture). 
Match It! Beginning Sounds

What can you do with these cards? Pocket Chart sort of course. 

How about baseball card slots? We put these sleeves in a binder and sorted the cards.

You could put the labels in an old dust jacket that just won't stay on your book & fold the bottom up to make pockets.

How about this for a quick assessment...

Ask the student to cover the matches and then tell you how they are alike.

When I started expanding, I really wanted one that was antonyms so....a forever freebie was created. Pick it up on TPT. 

I'm linking it up with TBA's Freebie Friday & classroom freebie's Manic Monday. Don't forget to check out the other freebie posts.

Have a great weekend.
