Subtraction Roll & Cover


Today my firsties practiced subtraction facts with a new little game, Subtraction Roll & Cover! Let me tell you, it was a hit! Subtraction is normally such a scary concept for most of my first-graders, but today with this game their worries were over! I really push adding totals of 10 in my classroom. I think it is so important for kids to know their totals to 10. With this game, students start at 10, roll the die, and subtract that number from 10. The first player to fill their card wins! This is a quick and easy game that helps reinforce numbers that total to 10. The kids really loved the fun table scatter and erasers they got to use to cover their cards. This way the game goes with any season and is always in style! Gotta love Dollar Tree! If you're interested in picking up Subtraction Roll & Cover, then just head on over to my TPT store!

Showering You With Love

I am super excited about my upcoming four day weekend due to Presidents' Day and a built in snow day! Yay!! But it also means that we are celebrating Valentine's Day on Thursday. Yikes! It really snuck up on me this year! In honor of Valentine's Day we are showering our parents with love with this cute little craftivity and poetry booklet.  It can also be used for Mother's Day and Grandparents Day. You can find this craftivity at my TPT store.  Lots of love!

Looking Handsome, George Washington

  
   
 
I am super excited about my newest creation! Isn't old George handsome? This month my first-graders are learning about presidents and how to write a biography. This week we are focusing on George Washington and I came up with this nifty little writing template to go along with the craftivity! I have included a couple different writing formats to choose from. If you are interested in this writing craftivity, you can check it out at my TPT store! 
Have a fantastic day!!
