February Math and Literacy Resource Roundup

Ahhhhh, February! So many fun holidays to celebrate in school that it's hard to know where to start your planning!  Groundhog Day, Valentines Day, 100th Day of School, and so much more... plus a new and unique math holiday this year, Twos Day, on 2/2/22 or 2/22/22.

Where to start??  Well, here's a whirlwind tour of some of the February resources that I've created for you over the past ten+ years of being a blogger and TpT teacher author. 

These are both paid and free resources, from this blog and my TpT store. If it's time for you to fill in or freshen up your collection of February resources, I hope this post will give you a place to start.

After five years of teaching Reading Recovery and then ten years teaching a literacy intervention class, I still find that I really LOVE to create math resources, like these easy-prep games for Groundhog Day and Valentines Day.

Practice adding and subtracting ten with this Groundhog Day 120 chart set. Your students solve the clue, find the empty space on the 120 chart, and write the missing number. Also available for Valentines Day, and winter.

Looking for low prep activities? Try these one page games!

"February in First Grade" Linky Party

Hello, Teaching Friends!

January is flying by, so let's get ready for the super-busy month of February. Considering that it's the shortest month of the year, there sure are a lot of "extras" to squish into the teaching schedule! Each and every one of those extra events is interesting, fun, and educational in one way or another, but what a list! 

Starting off with the Super Bowl on the 1st, February holidays come at us like crazy with Groundhog Day, Dental Health Month, Black History Month, Valentines Day, 100th Day for many, Presidents Day, and Chinese New Year. Whew!

So, let's help each other out with a "February in First Grade" Linky Party!

Many thanks to Michelle at The 3AM Teacher  for the linky button background

and to Little Red's Schoolhouse for the sweet letters - love the texture details!

When we did a February Linky Party here last year, we had 98 link-ups. With all of the amazing new free and paid resources that are now available, I'm guessing we can top 100 this year. I want this to be a great resource for all of you!!


Just a few rules before you link up your lovable goodies:

1.  Any resources related to February teaching in first grade are welcome!
