Humility Word Art

I was looking for a way to capture humility for my son’s scripture lesson (Philippians 2:5-11) and found C.S. Lewis’ quote. I thought I’d share this word art I made of it–with a Melonheadz key and arrow, plus a few fonts (Cartwheel, Fishfingers, Thirsty Script, and Honey Script). We’re walking this path together…

MATH BOOKLETS {Half-off TODAY & a Freebie!}

Slide1

These MATH BOOKLETS are a GREAT addition to your Kindergarten math curriculum! They are designed to reinforce the Algebraic Operations & Thinking that your little ones need to master before advancing to First Grade.

There are 21 booklets in this set:

I Can Add 1 to That
I Can Add to 2 with Me and You
I Can Count by 2 with Shoes
I Can Add to 3 at the Sea
I Can Count by 3 with Peas, Please
I Can Add to 4 at the Store
I Can Count by 4 with Paws & Hooves
I Can Add to 5 with my Fingers
I Can Count by 5 with Gumballs & Nickels
I Can Take Away from 5 Little Monkeys
I Can Add to 6 when I Eat
I Can Take Away from 6 (The Very Hungry Caterpillar)
I Can Add to 7 with Easter Eggs
I Can Take Away from 7 Apples
I Can Add to 8 with Ollie the Octopus
I Can Take Away from 8 Trick or Treat
I Can Add to 9 with my Potato Peep
I Can Take Away from 9 with Birds on a Line
I Can Add to 10 and Celebrate!
I Can Count by 10 with Candy & Dimes
I Can Take Away from 10 at the Amusement Park

In the first half of each I Can Add Booklet, as you read the text, your students will glue in the numeral tiles, or write in the numbers to make the equations true. This section teaches the commutative property—i.e. your students will learn that whether they add 3 + 1 or 1 + 3 the answer will be 4.

Then they will practice writing all previous numbers and tallying the target number. Next, they will glue in number representation (or picture) tiles as demonstrated in the first half of the book and write each equation. A base ten frame with the target number highlighted is included to help your visual learners.

Slide2

 

The I Can Take Away Booklets (beginning with the number 5) are laid out in a similar fashion. Your students will decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs using object and numeral tiles (and crossing out those items that were taken away). Then they will record each decomposition by writing the equation. Number lines for “jumping back” are included on the equation recording pages.

Slide3

 

The I Can Count By (2, 3, 4, 5, & 10) Booklets will encourage your students’ mastery of these skip count series. Common units (pairs, quadrupeds, pennies, nickels and dimes) are presented in these booklets. Your students will count within the series using these units and a number line.

Slide4

These booklets are easy to use. Simply print, cut, stack and staple! Your kids will need a crayon or pencil, scissors and glue.

These booklets are on sale {HALF OFF} today–HAPPY 4th of JULY!! You can grab them here!

 

I’ve also posted this sample booklet–it’s a freebie! Grab yours here!

Ultimate Sight Words Special VALENTINE’S Series!!

Slide01

I’m so EXCITED to share the Ultimate Sight Words Special VALENTINE’S Series with you!! It has been such fun for us to work on! It is LOADED with great hands-on learning, plus lots of engaging activities to get the whole gang ready for Valentine’s Day. Take a look:

Slide1

The front of each Valentine Sight Word sheet is very similar to the Spot the Sight Word sheets of Series 1& 2 . But, the back is something new!  Here, your students will practice drawing–sometimes just tracing, other times finishing a drawing or coming up with their own original artwork!

Slide2

And the crafts in this special series are Valentine’s Day Cards!!! Aren’t they cute?! Your students will find the sight words and Valentine’s nouns that they are learning on these cards. They’ll then use them to write a special Valentine!

Slide3

And what would one of our sight word packs be without a FUN game?!? Candy Craze will get your students reading, building sentences with their sight words and drawing (Pictionary-style).

Slide4

Slide5

And this series has additional math and literacy work that you can use well beyond Valentine’s Day!

Slide6

Slide7

The Valentine’s Party Planning Booklet has been such a help for us in reviewing the basics of writing names, dates, and time.  Plus, the learning/re-learning our home address (street address, city, state and zip code) and phone number–vital information all of our kids should master :)!

The math sheets review counting, number order, finishing equations, graphing, addition and subtraction within 10 and 20, writing amounts of money, skip counting and shape recognition–GREAT learning and LOADS of FUN!

Slide8

You’ll find the Ultimate Sight Words Special VALENTINE’S Series on sale at my TPT store through Monday.  You also can enter to win your own copy here! Hope you LOVE it as much as we have!
