Happy Spring Break everyone! Hope it's been great for you!

We are doing a Dr. Seuss Author study to end our school year!! Yes, yes, I know his birthday was like a month ago and everybody celebrated him then. Well we totally didn't for this very reason!! I've been working on some lesson plans and activities but I'm not done yet! Not much time left to finish since spring break is almost over. I have finished one little literacy center. Here is a simple freebie for practicing digraphs.

So I went to the beach last weekend and it was amazing!!!! Had so much fun. Totally need to go back and do it all over again. The one drawback - it was a little cold.

I was inspired to create some beach themed activities in anticipation of summer!! I am so over this cold. I came back rested and ready to tackle the last 9 weeks of school. We've been working on alphabetical order and making contractions in ELA. We've also been focusing on adding tens and ones and really tackling odd and even numbers. In math workshop I try to keep things fresh by making new games. I usually start by introducing the game whole group and then placing it in a center rotation. Same thing with Literacy Workshop. It's always good to have the children reviewing skills we've learned throughout the year.

My new little bundle includes the following:

- an addition with and without regrouping game, manipulatives, and tens and ones workmat
- an odd and even flip flop game
- Beach words ABC order activity
- Contractions with not matching game
- Mystery picture using tens and ones addition problems

Here are some pics:

Each activity comes with a recording page for accountability. Sandy Sums is geared towards the Story of Units curriculum but I've included manipulatives for students to use to help add the teen numbers.

I can't wait to introduce these games to my firsties next week!! This is designed for use with first graders, but can easily be adapted for use in kindergarten or second grade.

Let's Go Surfin now.....with this bundle!!!

Another simple little unit can be found right here: Pete the Cat at the Beach!

This is a little sequencing unit that can easily fit into any reading curriculum.

GRAB IT {HERE}!!

I hope you can use this unit!! Enjoy!!

Here are some fun little center games. Check it out!!!

ABC Order Train

In this activity I have included some Winter Themed words, primarily from the book The Polar Express. 
However, I have also included some blank train cards for you to use with your own words. 
One way I use this is in my Spelling Center. I write the weekly words on the trains and the children put them in ABC order 
Simply print out on card stock or back with construction paper, laminate for durability, and place in a center. 

This ABC Center is Polar Bear themed!!

This activity is designed to reinforce the skill of alphabetical order. There are words on Polar Bear cards that children sort into ABC order. There is a recording page for accountability. 

This center includes 
17 ABC bear cards
Recording page
Center name card
Center directions card

This activity packet contains activities for use in any ELA classroom. There is a game for nouns, verbs, and adjectives. 

This packet includes:
12 adjective matching cards and 12 adjective flakes

Penguin Place Value

This cute little penguin activity is designed to give students extra practice with identifying place value. Students lay out penguin and place value cards like in the game of memory and take turns matching standard form with place value blocks. 

There is a recording page for accountability that offers an extra column for practice writing numbers in expanded form as well. 

Snowflake Subtraction

This little math center activity has students subtract 8 or 9 from the teen numbers. 

**This center Is based on Engage NY A Story of Units Module 2 for first grade. It is designed to reinforce the skills taught in Module 2 lessons, but offers a viable strategy for solving subtraction problems. This center would be helpful to any students who are learning to subtract from teen numbers.

25 subtraction cards and answers
54 snowflake counters
2 cover cards (for use with workmat—use to cover up the unused snowflakes)
Snowflake Subtraction Workmat
