3-D Shapes Cut and Paste Freebie

This week we've been learning about 3-D shapes. I made this cut and paste for a quick review. I thought about adding it to my 3-D Shapes unit but, then decided it would be more fun to give it away to my blog readers for free. :) Click on the picture below to download it.

Next week my kids are learning about probability. I'm working on a little unit right now for that. My students in previous years have really struggled with the probability vocabulary (likely, unlikely, certain, and impossible). Hopefully, I can come up with some fun ways to cure that. I'll keep you posted!

Math Journal Monday (Water Themed Word Problems)

I'm a little late with my math journal Monday problems today. My students return from spring break on Wednesday so I had a little extra time to create these problems. I can't wait to see their precious faces but, I sure am going to miss sleeping in late. If only school started at 10 instead of 8, then I'd have the perfect job. :) This week's math journal problems have a water theme. We're learning about water changes and the water cycle this week. Click on the picture below to download three sets of word problems.

The Reading Race, Fluency Logs and Rewards

I am loving every minute of my spring break! I've had several days to finish up some things around the house and now my mind is back on school. I just added 15 new pages to my reading race fluency logs and rewards. This resource helps my firsties stay motivated while improving their fluency. It now includes 15 sight word lists with the first 300 of Fry's Instant Words. I bought some super cute space clip art and used it to create two additional fluency graphs and rewards. If you've already purchased it, please re-download it so you can enjoy all of the new additions. As a special spring break treat, the first two people to comment on this post will receive this resource for free! Please be sure and include your email address.
