<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi there! I hope you are all doing well, and are safe and healthy! We have transitioned to distance learning here and I am finally feeling like I have my schedule down! I miss my first graders so much, but am thankful that I get to talk with them and hear about their day. </div>

I wanted to share a few freebies in hopes that you could use them this school year, or next. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At the beginning of March we had finished our math unit on data and graphing. Since we had a short 2-day week due to conferences, we completed our chapter assessment and my kids got to conduct their own surveys about favorite treats. They each surveyed 10 classmates by filling out their tally chart. Then, after surveying 10 classmates, they answered the questions. They had so much fun! I also made a favorite fruit tally chart worksheet to complete more toward the end of the school year, but we never had time to complete it. I'm saving it for next year! I updated my worksheets and included two versions of each worksheet. One version has a line for you to write (or the child to write) how many people they plan on surveying. You can click on either picture below to download!</div>

One other freebie that I wanted to share with you is an opinion writing template. Every spring I teach opinion writing to my first graders. This year I'll still be teaching it to my students, but it will be taught through distant learning. One of the stories I love reading is <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Spoon-Amy-Krouse-Rosenthal/dp/1423106857/ref=sr_1_1?crid=29CDWOC5B8YJO&dchild=1&keywords=spoon+the+book&qid=1587515106&sprefix=spoon+the+%2Caps%2C219&sr=8-1" target="_blank">Spoon</a>!

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Happy February! I can't believe we are already more than half way through the month! We've had a lot of rain here in Oregon these last few weeks, but today and the next several days are filled with sun! I do enjoy winter and the snow, but I am tired of the cold rainy days!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Speaking of the snow, my family and I have had several opportunities to head to the mountain this winter. Here's a pic of us a few weeks ago :) </div>

Mt. Hood is just gorgeous during every season! My husband and I were able to complete a 3 day hike around it last summer and saw so many beautiful parts of this mountain. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Okay, now for some school related things, and some new and updated freebies!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have finally finished my sight word bingo sets. April and May have been added to my store and I have also added a bundle that includes all 9 sets. </div>

This last month and a half my first graders have been working through their place value unit in math. I decided to add in some additional support and practice this year since this is such a heavy duty unit, and I really wanted my kids to have a firm grasp on place value. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One skill that often can be a struggle is finding 10 more and 10 less than a number. Before I gave my kiddos this lesson from our math program, we spent a day practicing with <a href="https://www.lakeshorelearning.com/products/teaching-resources/classroom-essentials/reusable-write-wipe-pocket/p/DE191" target="_blank">Reusable Write and Wipe Pockets</a>. I got mine several years ago at <a href="https://www.lakeshorelearning.com/products/teaching-resources/classroom-essentials/reusable-write-wipe-pocket/p/DE191" target="_blank">Lakeshore</a> and absolutely love them! I use them in small reading groups and also during partner work in math. Each pocket was filled with the two worksheets below. You can click on them to download for free!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We began by watching a few place value <a href="https://www.khanacademy.org/" target="_blank">Khan Academy</a> videos before I handed out the mats. I LOVE Khan Academy. Their videos are wonderful! After watching a few video clips we used our tens rods and ones pieces on the side with the tens and ones worksheet. We did lots of practice showing numbers and what 10 more/less looks like. Eventually I handed out dry erase markers and we completed the 10 more 10 less worksheet. When we got to the last part of the worksheet, I had my kiddos write their own number and also write 10 more/less than the number. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made a few review worksheets for our greater than and less than lessons. These have been in my store, but have been recently updated with different fonts. You can go <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Greater-Than-Less-Than-or-Equal-To-Worksheet-Set-2393506" target="_blank">HERE </a>to download or just click on the pictures below!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After several days of learning and practicing using the symbols, we used our reusable wipe off mats again and practiced with partners during a whole group lesson. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are so many ways you could use these with wipe off mats. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I began this activity using the page with the larger symbols. We would start with the first symbol and I would show my students two numbers. Then they would write them on the correct side of the symbol. When we got to the second worksheet, I would give them one number, and they would need to put their own number following the symbol. The last box they could create their own greater than, less than, or equal to statement.

Hi there it's Leslie! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Happy 2020! Hope you all had a wonderful start to the new year! I took about a year off from blogging and it sure feels great to be back! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My goal this year is to post once a month and share with you some new things I am incorporating into my classroom, freebies and anything else I love and think you'll love too!</div>

Here's a little number practice that I'm using in my classroom this week. I'll be using this in a small group setting with some of my students that need a little extra practice counting and recognizing numbers. These sheets can be cut into fourths and stapled into mini booklets. The kids will practice counting the numbers using the 10's frames, find the correct number below and daub it with a bingo dauber. Using bingo daubers will definitely make this extra practice more fun!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I've created on set that focuses on finding numbers 21-40 and another set that focuses on numbers 41-60. I will be sharing more sets in the next few months! Each set has answer sheets, with the correct answer underlined, if needed.</div>

These last few months I've been working on several new bingo sight word sets that are now in my store! Each set uses 25 different sight words and contains 30 different bingo boards! This is a great whole class sight word practice activity. These are also great when you have a substitute and need a time filler. If you'd like to take a peek at these you can click <b><u><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/First-Grade-Fanatics/Category/Bingo-394295" target="_blank">{HERE}</a></u></b>, or click on the individual pictures below. Look for April and May to be added soon!</div>

Hi Everybody! I'm back! It feels so good to be back in the blogging world! I took a much needed break, and am back and ready to blog! I sure have been busy with back to school stuff, and having a teenager in Driver's Ed along with her busy dance schedule, doesn't really leave this mom with a lot of spare time! I hope you all had a wonderful summer! My family and I spent a lot of time outdoors. Here we are on a hiking trip in Bend, OR. We just LOVE Bend, OR!</div>

I have a few things/sites I've found that I wanted to share with you all :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know it's way past back to school, but I finally found the perfect book bins for my IKEA shelves in my classroom library! I looked everywhere all summer for ones that would fit perfectly, would be able to hold my tall or awkward sized books, and were a good price. These are perfect!</div>

I found them at Walmart.com and they came in a 12 pack. After purchasing 2 sets I realized that I might want to have a few extra on hand, just in case they break. So I stopped by my local Home Depot and bought 2 more! I was also able to fine a few small sized ones for my mini leveled readers. I love the way they look and so far they are holding up nicely. </div>

Another thing I was looking for this summer was a YouTube Channel that had letter/sound videos. Our reading program no longer supports the online version that we used last year and I was so sad :(. I use the videos to show our sound of the week. Well, after doing some searching on YouTube, I found <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVcQH8A634mauPrGbWs7QlQ">Jack Hartmann's Kids Music Channel</a>! It was just what I was looking for! My kids LOVE his videos, especially the sight word videos. If you haven's seen his videos, you've got to check him out!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's one of his sight word videos:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also LOVE ViewPure which is a site that I show all YouTube videos in. I just copy and paste the link and I can display YouTube videos in my classroom without ads or comments!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's a link to ViewPure: <a href="http://viewpure.com/">ViewPure</a>.</div>

Another site that I'd like to share with you all I've been incorporating a lot of nonsense word activities in my small reading groups lately. At a meeting recently, I was given a nonsense word fluency intervention planning sheet with links to quite a few freebies. I found the sheet online and was able to click and check out the wonderful free resources. If you teach nonsense words and are looking for some new items, definitely check out this blog post from Make, Take & Teach. This is where you will find the planning sheet: </div>

This is my first of many worksheet sets that I will be adding to my store. I use these in my small reading groups. Instead of copying a worksheet for each student, I use Reusable Write and Wipe Pockets. These <a href="https://www.lakeshorelearning.com/products/teaching-resources/classroom-essentials/reusable-write-wipe-pocket/p/DE191">HERE</a> are my absolute favorite! My kids also love writing on them with dry erase pens. This set and my future sets all contain a variety of worksheets. You can check them out HERE, or click the picture above!</div>

Finally, here are a few freebies that I wanted to also share. We learned about the five senses a few weeks ago and I created some popcorn freebies. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After learning about our senses we described popcorn using our five senses. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used these headings on my whiteboard:</div>

I made these smaller quarter sheet sized ones to be used on an anchor chart.</div>

My kids each got a worksheet and 1 piece of popped popcorn. I purposely did not give them a bowl full yet, because I wanted them to focus on their descriptions and writing first :) Here's what their worksheet looked like:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwmAKALEAWkPQ4l-XXcevd0DkFNG3Y-FVLznZEjrg-tboZLss8AxFXLqB9wmvOlxUGXoOc_2KauoB9fBoMXkPxEtsBRdyAnsNkJ8E2H-yGd_LaIoDux83Lh44XUpGAf4CPbCRbETs65wY/s1600/Slide2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="720" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwmAKALEAWkPQ4l-XXcevd0DkFNG3Y-FVLznZEjrg-tboZLss8AxFXLqB9wmvOlxUGXoOc_2KauoB9fBoMXkPxEtsBRdyAnsNkJ8E2H-yGd_LaIoDux83Lh44XUpGAf4CPbCRbETs65wY/s320/Slide2.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I began by listing their words on the white board. Then they would choose words for their worksheets. Finally, after they wrote how popcorn tastes, they each received a bowl of popcorn. They had a blast! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The second day I read this cute book that I checked out through my local library:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Popcorn-Shop-Hello-Reader/dp/059047121X/ref=sr_1_32?ie=UTF8&qid=1538964183&sr=8-32&keywords=popcorn+book"><img border="0" data-original-height="340" data-original-width="219" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJjX-1uQ8gLBS4AmUvJBMUuw-mrSV-rhOehWCFaRGizVNnncQEc3wl_aLJniHa00B-Qs74GgEouaN77AgIoJTZvDIyJ1RE-DT79WU21W6VBAwLNYazTVRl7jjXs8vRbYQu-0Y9f-cWBhw/s320/Screen+Shot+2018-10-07+at+7.03.13+PM.png" width="205" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then we came up with a list of toppings that would be good on popcorn. The kids had so much fun thinking of toppings they'd like. After we created a list, they completed this writing piece and added their toppings to the picture.</div>

This insect theme worksheet set that I finally finished will be incorporated throughout my week. These worksheets will be choices during math/literacy stations, used during my intervention time, and also available for students who finish lessons early and would like something other to do than write or read. Below is a sample of what's inside. You can click on any of the pictures below to check this product out! </div>

Happy spring and happy Friday! I'm currently on spring break and really enjoying the time to relax with my family! Life has been busy, especially with an almost 15 year old. I thought life was busy when she was younger, but it seems to get busier as she gets older and has an even busier school and social life! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's been a while since I've last blogged and I have lots to share with you. </div>

I just love these extra worksheet sets. They are perfect for extra practice in math, and I use them a lot during my intervention time.

Last week The Moon was our reading theme. Our main story in our core reading program was Kitten's First Full Moon. Our small group reading books were nonfiction books about the moon. We completed lots of moon activities throughout the week and read several fiction and nonfiction moon books. If your looking for a great moon phase activity, I found a lunar cycle wheel that on TpT. I modified it a bit and my kiddos couldn't wait to take their wheels home and look at the night sky! You can find it <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Easy-Craft-Moon-Phases-and-Lunar-Cycle-1309395" target="_blank">{HERE}</a>! My kiddos also each made models of the earth and Moon's orbit. With my support, and completing these in two steps, they turned out great! Most importantly, my first graders have a great tool to help them understand the earth and moon's orbit. You can find this awesome freebie <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Space-Model-of-Earth-Moons-orbit-565681" target="_blank">{HERE}</a>!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Below are a few freebies I made. The moon facts booklet was a choice activity that I incorporated into my intervention time. My kiddos could write their own facts that they learned about the moon, or write facts from two of the moon anchor charts that were hanging on our classroom. I also created a moon themed math worksheet. My class needed a little extra practice and review on adding tens, so I created this worksheet for extra practice. You can check out both of these freebies by clicking on the pictures below.</div>

Here are just a few of the books that my class loved listening to during our moon week. Night Cat isn't really about the moon, but it was about a cat at night and there is a full moon. It was a perfect book to read after reading Kitten's First Full Moon in our core reading program. If You Decide To Go To The Moon was a FABULOUS book! My first graders were so captivated by this story and enjoyed every page! The Moon by Thomas K. Adamson was a perfect nonfiction book, with simple text and simple facts for young readers. </div>

I'm sure most of you have already celebrated your 100th day of school, but here are some freebies for you to tuck away until next year :) We celebrated our 100th day of school during the third week in February. Here's a 100 word booklet and a subtracting from 100 worksheet that my kiddos completed on our 100th day! The 6 page booklet has 100 spaces for words and took a few days to complete. My kids found words around the room and wrote them in their booklets. I used this booklet as a choice activity during our intervention time. The math worksheet was a great review during our math time. Click on either picture below for both downloads!</div>

Also during the third week of February our first graders attended a presentation about our flag. Local members from our VFW came and presented about our flag and each first grader went home with their own flag and flag stand. This was the perfect week to learn about American Symbols. I checked out several books from the library which my kids and I could read from during the week. I also made this cute anchor chart that I found <a href="http://www.firstgradenest.com/2015/02/american-symbols.html" target="_blank">{HERE}</a>. If you'd like pictures with labels to create your own chart, or to display in a pocket chart, just click one of the pictures below. You can also download a flag facts worksheet as well. Both freebies are included in one download. </div>

Happy January! I hope you all are having a wonderful start to the new year! Even though we haven't had any snow in our area yet (last year was completely different ❄️❄️) I still incorporated a few snowman activities our first week back. Thought I'd share with you what we did.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I read several of the books from the snowmen at night series, which my kids just love. </div>

There are several read alouds available on you tube, but I was looking for something a little different but still based on one of the books. I found a version of Snowmen at Night that is set to music rather than read aloud. Here's a link below if you'd like to check it out.<br />

We also completed this writing below which went perfectly with Snowmen at Night. It's from<a href="http://sssteaching.blogspot.com/"> SSS Teaching</a> and you can find this for free <a href="http://sssteaching.blogspot.com/2014/01/snowmen-at-night-prompt.html">HERE!</a><br />

After their wring was complete, my first graders glued their half sheet on the back of black construction paper and painted the background for their snowman art. This cute project came from Babyccino and you can find the link <a href="https://babyccinokids.com/blog/2016/01/28/sweet-and-easy-snowmen-on-our-window/">{HERE}</a>!</div>

My kiddos wrote and painted one day, and created their snowmen the next day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made an ABC order and word search using some of the words from Snowmen at Night. I'll use this as a choice activity at some point this week. If you'd like a copy, click below!</div>

It feels so good to be back to blogging after a few months. With a new school year, a daughter now in high school, and lots of projects going on around my house, I've been crazy busy! I'm finally feeling a little more organized and back and ready to blog! I wanted to share about a few new products and freebies that I've been working on.</div>

I recently updated my pocket chart calendar cards. This update has taken me several months and it is finally complete! If you've purchased this set in the past, just re-download and you'll get the newest version. The older version is still available in this zip file download. Here are some pictures of just a few of the cards and graphs included:</div>

Several weeks prior to Halloween, we all read several versions and did A LOT of activities surrounding this story. We had so much fun! I created a word search and would love to share it with you all!

Hi there it's Leslie! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy September!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just recently returned back to school after summer break, and am on week two with my first graders. We're having a great time! If this is one of your first weeks back I hope you are all off to a great start with your kiddos as well! These last two weeks have been very busy. I've been busy training my first graders on how to work during reading stations. I'm hoping to have the kiddos using them independently by next week. You can read about how I incorporate stations <a href="https://firstgradefanatics.blogspot.com/2016/09/happy-fall.html" target="_blank">{HERE}</a> and you can find lots of station ideas <a href="https://firstgradefanatics.blogspot.com/search/label/reading%20stations" target="_blank">{HERE}</a>! <br />

Happy summer! Hope you are all having a great start to summer and are finding time to relax! This is my first full week on summer break and I am FINALLY feeling like I can relax, although school is still on my mind. I'm thinking of creating a maker space in my classroom this year, and would <u><b>LOVE</b></u> any tips or advice that any of you have. Please comment below, I am in <u><b>need</b></u> of suggestions! I did find this article the other day and have created a Pinterest board as well.

I am always looking for extra addition and subtraction practice pages for my first graders throughout the school year, so I decided to create themed sets that will get progressively more difficult. The first set that I created focuses on counting on 0, 1, 2, or 3 and counting back 0, 1, 2 or 3. There are 8 worksheets total. If you'd like to check this September/October set out, stop on by <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Addition-Subtraction-Worksheet-Set-Sept-Oct-Theme-3228073" target="_blank">HERE</a>, or click on any of the pics above!</div>

In the works are:<br />

Jan./Feb.<br />
Mar./Apr.<br />
May/Jun.<br />

I am hoping to have all sets up before I head back at the end of August. </div>

Happy Sunday! Hope you are all enjoying your weekend and to those of you that are already on summer vacation, ENJOY! I hope you find some much needed time to relax!<br />
My first graders and I have a few more weeks due to several snow days. We still have lots to do and I have several fun themed activities planned for my first graders! <br />
This last week my first graders went to the zoo for our annual zoo field trip. SO MUCH FUN! We had absolutely perfect weather (which for the last several years has been not spectacular) 70+ degrees and was filled with lots of zoo themed activities. See below for several ideas I incorporated into my stations and a few zoo themed math freebies :).</div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020;">48 LARGE PICTURE/WORD CARDS: These cards could be used in several different ways. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020;">Here are two ideas:</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020;">*For matching, cut them apart so the words are separate and match the words with the pictures. These cards fit nicely in a pocket chart.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020;">*To play a matching game, distribute word cards evenly between players. Place picture cards face down. First player flips over a picture card. If he/she has the matching word, he/she picks up the card. If not a match, flip card over and it’s the next player’s turn. First player with all of their matches complete is the winner.</span></span></div>

We've been doing a lot of opinion writing pieces this month. I wanted to share a freebie that I created to go with an opinion writing piece my first graders did a few weeks ago. After reading <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Hey-Little-Ant-Phillip-Hoose/dp/1883672546/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1495997543&sr=8-1&keywords=Hey+little+Ant" target="_blank">Hey Little Ant</a> we created two anchor charts. One listed reasons why the boy SHOULD squish the and and the other listed reasons why the boy SHOULD NOT squish the ant. Then my kiddos completed their own opinion writing and made a picture. If you'd like the writing template along with pages for drawings, just click <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3XXMYGSdK9oMENpbERYN0N2VUk/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">{HERE}</a> or on the picture below!</div>

Happy May! I just love this month! Our weather here in Oregon starts to dry out a little and we FINALLY see more sunshine YAY! This week I finished up my May Show and Tell Apron Cards. These work great in Show and Tell Aprons, but also work nicely in pocket charts, or at a table!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I print the vertical cards and my kiddos match the pictures to the words use these at our pocket chart station. This works great for vocabulary development. My kids also enjoy organizing the cards in ABC order. If you'd like to check these out, just click on the picture below! February-May are all finished and I'm currently working on a June set. September-January will also be added throughout the summer months :) </div>

Opinion writing has been a BIG focus these last several weeks in my classroom. There are so many great stories to incorporate while teaching opinion writing. One story I LOVE to use is <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Wanna-Iguana-Karen-Kaufman-Orloff/dp/0399237178/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1494175626&sr=1-1&keywords=I+wanna+iguana" target="_blank">I Wanna Iguana by Karen Kaufman Orloff</a>. I created a format for my first graders to use as support while writing their opinions. On the first line is where my kids write should or should not, based on their opinion. Then they give their two reasons to support their opinion, and finally restate why they strongly feel Alex should or should not have an pet iguana. Also included in this little freebie are half sheets with an iguana picture. There are several different options :) My kiddos each chose a picture and drew something different around or near the iguana. Their writing pieces along with their picture, are displayed in our school hallway. Pictures will be added soon! If you'd like your a copy of this freebie, click below!</div>

Hope you are all having a great start to spring! I'm currently on spring break and thought I'd fill you in on some new products I've recently added, some freebies related to some topics we're learning about in my first grade classroom, and lots of literacy station ideas!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
R-controlled vowels are and will be a big sound focus for the next several weeks in my first grade classroom. The week before spring break our focus was <b>er, ir, & ur.</b> When we return it will be <b>or</b> and the week after that <b>ar</b>. I created a little r-controlled vowel set with lots of goodies to help my first graders when recognizing these sounds. If you'd like to check it out you can go <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/R-Controlled-Vowel-Set-3087753" target="_blank">{HERE}</a> or click any of the pictures below!</div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020;">30 LARGE PICTURE/WORD CARDS: These cards could be used in several different ways. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020;">Here are two ideas:</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020;">*For matching, cut them apart so the words are separate and match the words with the pictures. These cards fit nicely in a pocket chart.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020;">*To play a matching game, distribute word cards evenly between players. Place picture cards face down. First player flips over a picture card. If he/she has the matching word, he/she picks up the card. If not a match, flip card over and it’s the next player’s turn. First player with all of their matches complete is the winner.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Yay for March! I always look forward to March because March means SPRING!!!! Although it rains a lot here in Oregon, I am hoping this March will bring more sun than we had in February. We've had a cold and wet winter and this teacher is ready for some SUNSHINE! It's been a while since my last post and I have several word sort freebies to share with you all :) I incorporate these into my small reading groups and create them based on our current sound focus in our reading program. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thought I'd share a few freebies that I used with my first graders a few weeks ago!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This little long a freebie contains February themed clipart, but could really be used anytime! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Happy Monday! Lots of exciting things to share today, plus a site wide Teachers Pay Teachers sale starts tomorrow and we've got a $10 gift card giveaway going on. See below for details!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just wanted to share a few new products in our store. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Show-and-Tell-Apron-Cards-February-2963420" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAiSxImq035oYMY2nOTrsYyWO12EMRs7k5sPYS9fTunXzOEg4SLqsB_1NhYVdGfa_e0fPxFOI37DmxgNZ-SoEu3It14_NELN50q_4T_A0f_hDsyWd_3TJ9HUe32tlwcJIexHsriAgmhVc/s400/Slide01.jpg" width="300" /></a> <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Show-and-Tell-Apron-Cards-March-2963613" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtcQKri8ZG1PoYD8116xoXF94Z_352iR55DvzKbB26-T2kOeqQDM1YaP1_u0q9QzYEOuLvbQF7jepl0BJSLiNmeU5TyoQBVJh9RNhdtHKYXS3lhSbJEKd6ZvakpryYV-cbj_GORAEJZB4/s400/Slide01.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These monthly themed cards work great with Show and Tell Aprons. They can also be used in a variety of pocket charts, or at centers as a matching activity. There are l<span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">arge and small lowercase and capital letter cards that could be placed in a Show and Tell Apron, pocket chart, table, or floor. These cards could be used to represent the beginning and/or ending sounds when using the picture cards.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">If using the picture cards, word cards, and/or picture with word cards. These cards could be used in a Show and Tell Apron, pocket chart, table, or floor. There is a variety of ways these cards could be used. If using the cards that contain both a picture and word you could cut the words off and have your students match the word to the correct picture. Another idea is to have your students play a matching game using the picture cards and word cards. </span></span>My first graders use these at our pocket chart station during our reading block. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just click on the pics above if you'd like to check them out! April and May will be added soon! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hey friends! It's Erin, making a rare appearance on the blog today! Between raising my four kiddos, and teaching kindergarten, I don't have a lot of spare time to blog these days. But our new unit was just too good not to share. My kindergarten team each spent some time this fall making a new sub tubs. The thought was that if we each made one, we could then share, and we'd each have 5 sub tubs ready to go! These can be so incredibly helpful for those days when you wake up and have a sick kiddo, or you are sick yourself, and you just don't want to plan for a sub. At the end of the year, we thought we'd have some fun sub tub days, doing the activities that we didn't use throughout the year. So, I just had to share with you how we set it up. The sub tub is set up so that with absolutely no planning, any sub can come in and find anything they need for the day. We use only materials that we already have in our classroom (alphabet stamps, pattern blocks, etc.) for our lessons. We also make sure our sub tub is stocked with the following things:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Student list</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Daily Schedule</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Weekly Schedule</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Students to Note</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*School Map</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Bus List</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All of these things can be found in the class info section of our Sub Tubs. But, before I get a head of myself... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First, I like this tub to organize my materials. It's a perfect size for a days worth of activities. They are under $6 each at <a href="https://www.walmart.com/ip/Sterilite-EZ-Carry-Large-Show-Offs-Storage-Container-Clear/48194361" target="_blank">Walmart</a>, or you can get 6 of them for $30.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The files are organized in the sequence of how I teach my day, just to keep it simple for any sub. Then each activity is in it's own folder. For instance, 4 reading station and 4 math station activities are included. I also include each of the direction pages in page protectors for easy use. </div>

Happy January! Hope your year is off to a great start! <br />
After a very LONG winter break (we've had so many two hour delays and snow days in December and January, I've lost track of the total!) I am finally going back to a full week this next week, and I can't wait for some consistency! <br />
Just stopping by to share a quick little freebie that I made for my first graders this week! Long i (i_e) is our sound focus of the week, and this will be one of the choices my students have during our intervention time.<br />

Happy December! Hope you're all doing well and your December is off to a good start! I've been busy, busy, busy with my first graders! This last week we've already had 2 snow days and 1 two hour delay due to snow and ice and it's not even winter yet! Yikes!! Here's to hoping we can get their Christmas gifts made and wrapped in a week! <br />
<br />
If you're looking for some last minute read alouds this holiday season, here is a list of some favorites that our followers enjoy reading!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Next week will be filled with lots and lots of gingerbread activities. Many can be found <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Gingerbread-Galore-book-based-literacy-math-activities-168833" target="_blank">{HERE}</a>. In our Gingerbread Galore Unit! Since last week was a long a_e focus I made a little freebie as a review for this upcoming week. If you'd like a copy, just click the pics below There's a worksheet as well if you'd like to have your students write the words after sorting.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I also will be putting this worksheet out at my intervention time. During our intervention time, I meet with reading groups and my kiddos choose a variety of literacy activities to complete. I usually put out a few worksheets that relate to our current reading focus. Here's a worksheet that I made and put out last week when our focus was the long a sound (a_e). Click the picture below to grab yourself a copy!<br />
