The Sweet and Sassy of Freebie Friday

The Sweet:

Hi Sweet Friends!!  I'm excited to share a FREEBIE with you.  I've linked up with Teaching Blog Addict to share with others so stop to see what else you can use.

Sassy:

WHA...??!!?!  I've completed something in time for a linky party.  The computer didn't crash and TPT took less than 10 minutes to upload.  Seriously.



The Sweet:

This little freebie is from an idea I got from a workshop that I attended with my sweet friend over at Smitten with First.  I think the best part of the workshop was talking with Michelle and sharing Pinterest ideas with each other at the back table.

These are very simple but I think they are a great visual for the kids.  I think that it's important that these are used along with actual items that they've counted and sorted into groups. 

I also purchased some great little place value dice.  Plus, I love the little goodies you get when you attend workshops.


Another great little idea was the small chalkboard made from black contact paper on card stock.  Super easy and cheap to make a class set and give the kids something different to record math problems.



The Sassy:

We drove an hour both days to meet up and share ideas we found on Pinterest.  The workshop......just wasn't what we thought it would be.  We did get really good at taking selfies.  It took several pics to get the right one........and notice our photo bomber, yea, he was the principal of one of the attending schools.  He obviously felt the same way we did.




The Sweet:

We are making our last road trip this weekend.  We're headed to Houston to pick up my Big guy.  He has been gone most of the summer playing baseball and our family just hasn't been the same without him.  :( 


The Sassy:

I'm a little over road trips.  After driving riding to Florida and Oklahoma, these long trips are losing their appeal.  The Mr. is an AH.MAZ.ING driver..........I am so thankful for him.  It has to been some sort of mental thing but I'm not tired in the car EVER unless I HAVE to drive, then I suddenly have narcolepsy.  This is the truth......seriously.  


The Sweet:
Little Sass practiced her driving skills on the farm in Ok.....


The Sassy:

...but I think she would be too easily distracted to drive to Houston this weekend.



Be Sweet!

Reading Power Towers

When I should be getting ready for meet the teacher night and the first week of school I'm finishing up a fun little reading game.  Ha!! It's what I do.......get sidetracked.  I found this idea on Teacher Tipster , and it is so simple but a GREAT way to practice reading sight words.   I absolutely LOVE games in the classroom.....and so do the kids.  They don't even realize how much they're learning because they are so engrossed in the games.  It's greatness!!   All you need is a Pringles can and Dixie Cups.  I bought Dixie cups from Costco because I wanted to make each one of my teamies this activity.   Next I covered the Pringles can with a cover .  (I made 5 different ones, please feel free to copy any or all if you want) Because these are the taller cans I covered them with construction paper first, then with the cover.  (we got a little crazy with crafting this summer and my lil' sass got ahold of 2 of the lids and...

Famous Americans Project

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE when the kids complete a project and they are SO proud to share it with the class.  This was a project that was sent home and the kids were expected to do on their own time with their parents (help)........now as a parent I understand a little of the dread of an at-home project BUT that's because we are looking at it ALL wrong.   What an awesome and precious time that you get to spend with your child learning new things??....talking??....asking questions??  Your are making treasured memories!!--and if you could only see your child's face when they bring their project to school!!  They are beaming with pride AND CANNOT WAIT to share all their new knowledge with their classmates.   The kids get to picked from a list of 50 or so people and then I sent home a list of different ways to present their information to the class.

Okay, it's time for {freebies} or I'm going to cry.   { Freebie #1 } This is a center activity that integrates reading and math.  I've included 60 of the first sight words that are introduced in Texas Journey's basal.  The students will be reading these words and writing addition sentences to match.  They are also on the lookout for DOUBLES, because in this game DOUBLES are worth more.  You can pick this up at my TPT store. { FREEBIE #2 ) This is a math center activity to help the kids recognize the addend to create the double addition sentence.  They must be the first to fill their backpack with each school supply (addend). I've also included blank game boards and supply cards.  This gives the kids the oppo...
