Snowman Adjectives Mobile! January Freebie!

We can do this teachers!  Back to school!  This is the hardest part of the year for me.  My world is covered with snow, lots of indoor recesses because it's too cold to go outside, five months until summer.  So you know what we should do?  Continue to have fun with the kiddos!  Tomorrow is my first day back to school after our holiday break.  I am going to be reading a lot of snowmen books to my students.  My classroom is bare-all my December décor is down.  So I think I need a little January cheer hanging from my ceiling.  This is not just a craft - it's also a great way to review adjectives with my firsties.    This is a great jumping off point for some great winter writing.  This week when we write about playing in the snow I am going to remind them of all the juicy adjectives on their snowmen that they can now use in their writing! 
Enjoy your January freebie and a big thank you to all my customers and followers!
 
Also... check out some great winter writing ideas in my store!

December Freebies!!!

A big thank you to my followers!  Two freebies!  Merry Christmas!

The first freebie I will be using this week on my Grinch Day.  I am going to challenge my students to do kind things this month and grow their hearts.  I'm going to use this with my own children.  Let's see how many hearts we can turn red in our books!

The second freebie is a Christmas Santa Star  ornament.  This makes a great gift for parents or something fun to hang on your classroom tree.

Reindeer Games! Learning with a twist of reindeer!

 
 
Everything you need to have a Reindeer Day in your class!  Your students are so excited for the holidays and it's kind of hard keeping their attention on school work.  So... let's throw in a little reindeer fun that will have your students learning with a smile! To tell you the truth, as a teacher, I look forward to these special days in December.  I celebrate Grinch Day (I blogged about my Grinch Day last year), Polar Express Day, and Reindeer Day!  It will make teaching a lot of fun too - why should  our students have all the fun?!  ;)  Your students will be working with cause and effect, verbs and nouns, alphabetizing, adjectives, doubles, word problems with equations, creative writing, and crafts.
 
Some great reindeer books you can borrow from your library:
 
Olive, the Other Reindeer - Vivian Walsh
Who Will Guide My Sleigh Tonight? - Jerry Pollatta
The Wild Christmas Reindeer - Jan Brett
Rudolph - Robert L. May

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.
