TPT Seller Challenge - Makeover Madness!

Hey there!!!!

It's been a LONG time.  I've been enjoying summer and time with my family.  I've been around and working on new things for my classroom next year but haven't had the "umph" to blog about anything.  Ever been there? Anyhoo - I've been seeing everyone joining the TPT Seller Challenge and I thought - "Why Not?" Maybe that will help me get out of my slump!

Here are my beginning stats:

Week one is MAKEOVER MADNESS:

I decided to make over my All About the Number unit.  It looked old and sad and needed some sprucing up! Take a look at that face lift!

Here is the butterfly page mentioned above:

Here are the rest of the pages in my unit.

This unit will be on sell until tomorrow! :)

I would LOVE for you to check it out and while you're there - follow me!!! 

February Math and Making Words Centers

 Can you believe it's almost February?  Time flies sooooo fast!  I was thinking about all the units and themes I need to teach in February and wanted to share these two with you.  

First up, February Math Centers:

Concepts covered:

Here's what's inside:

Here's my February Making Words:

Super easy to print off and put in a center!

Check them out!

Have a great last week of January!

Centers this Week plus 2 freebies!

Here's a quick look at our centers for this week.  This was our first week to do center rotations and we just dove right in!  I was very proud of my little firsties and how well they have stayed on task.  I've got one GREAT group!

Patterns with Mr. Wiggles:

We have been talking about blends so I made this little sort:

 You can get a free copy of this here.

We've also been talking about suffix -s.  I made this picture/word sort for practice:

We are working on number combinations.  Trying to come up with all the different ways to make each number.  I bought this unit from Donna at Math Coach's Corner:

This is a great unit!  We love it!  Check it out!

You can see the rings at the top of the picture and I made these pages to go with it so my kiddos can practice during centers but can wipe them off when they are finished.

We are working with our friends names in our classroom.  This is a unit from the AmAzInG Cara Carroll!

We've been learning about our 5 senses.  I put all the books we've read in a center along with a chart, pictures and word cards for the students to match and write each sense.  I got the idea of the anchor chart here.

I came up with this quick little worksheet.  I called it "Roll It, Build It, Color It".  They have to roll 2 dice then they have to build it with the linking cubes.  Then they write the number and color that many boxes.  They have really enjoyed this one - there's just something about rolling dice!  I swear they could do it ALL DAY LONG! :)

You can get a free copy of this here. (if you download it, please show me some "comment love"!)

Whew!  We've been working SUPER hard and I am so proud of my little firsties!  They are a great bunch of kiddos!  I'm very blessed!

Have a great Friday!
