Math Fast Finisher!

Your parents and principal will love that you have a plan for your students who always finish ahead of their peers!  This is an easy way to differentiate your instruction. When parents ask how you are going to challenge their child – this is the answer.  This packet will challenge first graders and is a great review and practice packet for second graders.
 
The students keep their packets in a folder and complete a page a day.  When they complete a page, they bring the packet up to the answer key book and self correct their work – this is so easy on the teacher!  No extra work for you! 

I place the answer key pages back to back in plastic sleeves and place them in a notebook.
The packets can be copied off and stapled right on your copy machine.

This is the first volume with pages 1-20 plus the answer key.  I will be continuing to produce 9 more packets this year. Please check my store and follow me for these products.
 



 
I hope you enjoy this product as much as I do – it is such a great sponge activity for my students.
 
If you enjoyed this product, I also have  Writing Fast Finishers!

Brag cards and Bracelets

    Are you enjoying your summer?  My family and I just got back from Italy!  The history was incredible and the FOOD ... the food was AMAZING.  It was hard to switch from "vacation brain" back to "teacher brain". 

     I always try to get organized and think of ways to make my life easier as a teacher - never enough time to accomplish everything on my list.  Each year I tell myself that I want to have more positive communication between my parents and myself.   I want my students to love being at school as well as have them striving to be their best -  whether it's with their academics or behavior. 

Brag cards and brag bracelets!  You can choose to use the cards or the bracelets. Copy them off, cut them out, and have them ready to deliver!  I keep mine in a basket up near my kiva.  My goal is to award one or two a day.  I keep a clipboard with a class roster next to the cards (for my own knowledge), so that I can mark off the students when they receive a brag card.  I want to  make sure I'm catching all my students doing something good. 

This is such an easy way to keep your students and your parents happy.   Happy parents.  Happy students.  Happy teacher.  Happy principal.  (We hope!)

Did I mention this is a FREEBIE!?  Follow my blog and my TpT store for new products and more freebies.   Have an INCREDIBLE start to your school year.
