Thumbs Up for a Common Core Freebie!

Hi, Teaching Friends!

Are you looking for a quick way to review first grade Common Core math skills in these fleeting last days of school? Or maybe you're a second grade teacher and you're already lining up your center activities for the beginning of next year. In either case, this freebie might fit the bill for you! Your students can play the game with a partner, or complete it independently. To play, they'll evaluate 24 expressions to assess whether they are true ("Thumbs up!") or false ("Thumbs down!"). This little activity touches on nine different Common Core standards, all listed for you right on the card sheet.

Click here to read more about it and get your freebie in my post at Teaching Blog Roundup. Enjoy!

Scoot News... and a Freebie!

Hi, Teaching Friends!

Do you Scoot? It's hard to imagine a simpler activity that also keeps our kids focused and moving! Have you thought about using the cards for Read the Room, too?  I'm all about getting multiple uses from the same resource (sort of like those Pinterest pins that give you 30 crockpot recipes for chicken!)

This set is one of my favorites!

If you're looking for more ideas for using Scoot games, check this post here at Primary Inspiration. Then head on over to Teaching Blog Roundup to read about an idea that changes a game of Scoot into Musical Chairs!

Just for fun, here's a Scoot freebie from the set above for you - Long A Scoot!



If you're interested in Scoot games for math, here's a set of a dozen for first and second grade, from my TpT store.

Happy Teaching!

The Teacher Appreciation Week Events:

It's that time of year again! Lollipop bouquets, sweet thank you notes, maybe a nice lunch from your PTA, and if you're very lucky, a wilted dandelion presented with a hug, which we all know is really worth the world to every one of us! Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! You work hard every day to make a difference in the lives of children, and there can't be enough "thank you's" said for that!!
