It's a Freebie!!!

Hey Ya'll

 

I don't know about you, but even though I have the summer off I can't help but think of my very LONG to-do list of all the new things I want to do at the beginning of the school year. There are endless ideas out there and I am so excited to try some new things this year.

 

So what is on my to-do list for this year?

 

1. Interactive math notebooks. I did this last year but I wasn't as committed to it as I wanted to be. This year I plan to incorporate this into the end of my math lesson so that students can work independently while I pull math small groups. Raegan Tunstall has some awesome interactive math notebook sets for each month. Check them out on her TpT store. Click here for Raegan's interactive math notebooks. Her blog and ideas are awesome. Check her out =)

 

2. Last year my classroom theme was Dr. Seuss, and I plan on keeping that theme this year but I am changing out a couple bulletin boards and adding in some new classroom décor. (pictures and postings to come later) I have a plan in mind, a shopping list and can't wait to change things around in my classroom =) I love a little change.

 

3. I won 2 grants for my classroom in May. One for science materials, and one for building my classroom library. I am SO excited to order new things for my classroom. I know when all the new materials get here it will feel like Christmas. I plan on jazzing up my reading center with new book bins and additional books. Also, I plan on creating a reading center with lots of fun touches for the kids, including: decorative pillows, new lamps, and a rug.

 

4. Also on my to-do list...adding additional items to my TpT store. =) Keep your eyes open.

 

These things are enough to keep me busy. At least for the next couple weeks =) 

 

BUT.... I do have a little something for you! I just created a math center game that I plan on incorporating at the beginning of the year. This math game connects to first grade common core standard 1.NBT.B.2 In this math game students will practice building numbers with ones and tens. I  thought this would be a great review for my new second graders. This is a freebie in my TpT store so head on over and grab it.
