CVC Update and Giveaway!

.
Hello all my wonderful friends.  This is going to be a quick post because I am STARVING!!!  I had to skip my lunch today because of a meeting and so the little orange I ate quickly while my kids were working on addition is not holding me over!!!!  I must find something to get in my belly!!!

Moving on, I created a little CVC packet a few months ago and it has been working great in my small groups!  However, I still have a few little sweeties that just can't get past those CVC words and speed up their fluency, so I went back to the packet and added a few more things for them to work on!!  Hopefully, your kiddos can benefit from them as well.  Here are pictures of what is included!!

This first activity, kids will fill in the missing sound in each CVC word.  I have included picture cards where the beginning sounds are missing, cards with the medial sound missing, cards with the ending sound missing, and then for the more advanced cards where all sounds are missing.  Students will place a picture card on their work mat {included} and use either a dry erase marker or letter tiles to fill in the sounds.  

 These are CVC puzzles.  Students will piece together the sounds to form a CVC word, the pictures aid them when spelling them out.

This next activity is a matching activity.  Students have to match the picture to the correct CVC word.

This is a rhyming activity where students will match the rhyming picture and/or words and then record them on their recording sheet.

I have kept it on sale with the old price before the additions, but the price will go up after Sunday!!!  If this is something you are interested in, go snag it up now before the price increase. Click {HERE} to go and check it out!!!!

If you would like to WIN this packet, leave me a comment with your email below and I will pick a winner during the halftime of the Super Bowl!!!  You must follow my blog and TPT store to win!!

CVC Activity

I just finished a packet that I plan to use with my first graders at the beginning of the year in my guided reading groups.  This packet deals with the CVC spelling pattern.  Students will demonstrate an understanding of spoken words, syllables, and sounds.  They will isolate and pronounce initial, medial vowel, and final sounds in spoken single-syllable words.

 Each student participating will need a CVC work mat.  You choose which skill you want to work on by giving them their picture card.  There are a total of 40 CVC pictures where you can focus on the beginning sound, the medial vowel sound, or the final sound in the word.  I also included cards where all three sounds are missing so they have to fill in all three sounds.  This also works great when working on one to one correspondence for those kiddos that need that.

Here's a sneak peak at what is included.  You can check out the whole packet {HERE}!!!

 

Want to win this packet.  Leave me a comment below telling me when you start school.  I will choose one winner on Sunday, August 4th.  This is my last week of summer vacation, AGGHHH!!!!

Guess How Many Dum-Dums!!!

Wow!  I feel like summer has just passed me by!!!  I don't even really feel like I have had a vacation.  With the three kids in activities and taking my last ESL class, I have been BUSY!!!  I want to apologize for my lack of blog posts and lack of TpT products!!

 

Among all that, I also switched schools this year.  I am super excited about the move for many reasons.  Much closer to my house, kids can go to school with me, and finally having a teaching partner.  You guys, in my 10 years of teaching, I have never had a teaching partner and boy am I excited to finally have one.  It was the perfect move for me and my family and I was able to stay in first grade.  How PERFECT!!!

 

 

So I have been working in my new classroom all summer long and am in love with what I have done so far.  I will post pictures once it's completely done.  But I wanted to show you one thing I made for my classroom, and this is your chance to WIN anything from my TpT store!!! 

 

I will choose two winners, here's how to WIN!!

 

1.  Guess how many Dum-Dums it took to make my sucker tree!

2.  I need a name/label to put on the canister, if you come up with a clever title and I pick yours, you will win!!  You can leave two entries, one for the number of suckers and one for the title/label. 

 

Maybe you want one of these from my store!!

 

 

O.K. here is the sucker tree!  Remember you can enter two times!!  Good Luck!

I will choose the winners sometime on Monday!!

 

 

Math Work Mats for the Common Core

If you are anything like me, I am always needing something just real quick for any given lesson.  I can't count how many times I needed to make student copies of math work mats for my firsties to use.  Unfortunately, I never made a class set and laminated them for future use. 

Here enters my latest packet.  I am determined to get organized this summer so I know exactly what I have and where it is.  I am switching schools next year, same grade, but moving across town.  I am very excited for this move,  but now it gives me a reason to organize, organize, organize. 

I created this packet specifically to make a class set, laminate, and file away for any given day.  They come in 8 different colors in chevron, stripes, and stars. 

Work Mats Included:
**5-Frames
**10-Frames
**Double Ten Frames
**Part-Part-Whole Mats
**Place Value Mats in both ones/tens and ones/tens/hundreds



I am in love with them!!!  For a more detailed look, click {HERE}!!

New Product {Comparing Numbers}

Wow, two posts in one day!  These snow days have done wonders on getting things done on my to do list.  I just finished my latest activity packet and you are going to love it!  It is common core based and focuses on comparing numbers using symbols.  It's called "Fill Your Cup!"

Here's how it works.  Students can play with a partner or small group.  Each kiddo needs a cup work mat.  Players will draw a number card and compare their number to the others.  Whoever has the greatest or least number {depending on the version}in the group gets to place that card on their work mat, thus filling their cup.  Play continues until all the cards have been used.  Whoever "filled their cup" with the most number of cards is the winner. 

I included number cards 1-120, but you do not have to have students play with all cards.  Depending on their level choose what cards to work on.  Maybe if you teach kindergarten, only have students use number cards 1-20!  If students are more advanced, they can play with numbers 1-50.  The possibilities are endless, just choose what works best for your kiddos.  If you need to check for student understanding, I included a few different versions of recording sheets.  I included one of these as a FREEBIE down below. 

O.K. enough talking, here are a few snippets of what is included.  I made two versions, one version uses more colored ink, while the other is more ink friendly.  Click on any of the pictures to take you to my TpT store and check it out.

 

Here's your freebie! Just click on either picture to download!

 

 

And if your still with me, I would love to give this packet away to somebody!  All you have to do is leave me a comment about ANYTHING and FOLLOW MY BLOG! I will pick a winner Sunday morning after I've had my coffee!  If you blog about this, you can enter a second time to increase your chance of winning!!

 

Good Luck and thanks for following!
