Summer Learning!

Hello Super Stars :)

Well for the past couple of weeks I am trying to get ready for 2nd grade! Yikes! So I taught first grade this year and then next year I take the same class and teach them 2nd grade....confusing I know! I have been running around with my head cut off trying to get ready for summer school (my room - not me). That is soooo stressful taking everything down, cleaning through 2 grades of curriculum to make my space as welcoming as I possibly can make it for the teacher who will be in my room for summer school. I am really hoping she/he can reach my students who are struggling in a way I couldn't...urgh.

So in order to TRY to keep my students thinking through the summer I created a summer packet that is common core aligned and super fun but yet not super hard for summer fun.

I am just so excited to have the end of the year come. It was a tough one super stars! My school groups students based on their academic level (cough cough tracking) so I had the low group (they were almost 2 academic years behind when I got them). So it has been a great learning experience for this 2nd year teacher. I am excited to see these pumpkins through to 2nd grade and HOPEFULLY they will be ready for 3rd. Many a nights were spent crying this year - mostly feeling bad and sometimes feeling not good enough to help these kiddos. But as a good teacher - I hope - EVERY teacher feels this way at some  point :) But we carry on and do the best we can. Hopefully this packet makes sure they don't forget everything I taught them this year :)

Fun Add, Graph and Tally

Good morning!

I am super excited for next year so I decided to start creating some more centers to that I am ready to go the very first day of school! I am able to get started with learning right away because I loop with my class. So next year I have the same group of kiddos, but I am just going to be teaching 2nd grade instead of 1st grade. I will of course probably take more time to reteach learning behaviors and routines, because I run a tight FUN ship :)

Anyway here are my super fun add, graph and tally packets that are only $1.00 at my TPT store. I only have a fall and winter one as of now, but don't you worry! There will be plenty coming :)

Number Ordering Fun

 Greetings Super Stars,
With the end of the school year coming to an end I wanted to create a fun math center for my kiddos to do, but still be reinforcing their skills at the same time. I created the ordering numbers packet. Here is a sneak preview of it.

This fabulous packet includes 4 sets of numbers ranging from 0 to 120 for students to arrange and record their answers. My students love love love these! Each recording sheet also comes with an answer key for easy and quick assessing :) And for only $2 who could beat that?!

 Greetings Super Star Teachers,
Welcome to my blog. I am a looping teacher in Minnesota so I teach 1st and 2nd grad with the same gourp of students for two hearts (year 1 is first grade, year two is 2nd grade). I am so excited to start this journey of blogging - there might even be some outfits.

Anywho on to the first freebies!

I love to have checklists for my students (visual or text) so that they can independently evaluate their writing and work on their own (and create a sense of independence). So here is my free - yes - free checklist. It is simple enough for all students to use on their own.

Next is another math station that I made for my very struggling kids. I love My Cute Graphics because all of their graphics are free and SUPER cute :)  These are for students who are having trouble with facts up to 10. You get one recording sheet and about 12 addition problems and 12 subtraction problems with cute flower answer cards.
