Regrouping with Froggy



We have thrown ourselves into the Math Workshop concept! We couldn't find very many fun games to play for three digit with regrouping, so we made our own! Our kids love scavenger hunts, so this packet includes three versions.

Here comes Moola!


Meet Moola, our cash counting cow! Moola is my first clip art drawn with the spiffy Bamboo Capture Santa brought to me this year. I have had such a good time learning how to use it. We created this money unit to use during our math workshop segment of the day. The kids loved the Roll to 1.00 with Moola- we had to play it again today. The game is our free preview on TPT of the Moola! Moola! unit. Click the pix to download the game.

Little Poets Productions

Poetry Kids Can Write for the Common Core! 
I just know your students will have fun discovering how rhythm is created by using the repetition of words and sounds.  I designed the activities to teach alliteration, rhyme, and onomatopoeia so even my struggling students can write with success.  Check out our store on  TEACHERSPAYTEACHERS for    the free preview.  It includes a detailed description of how each activity ties into the standard and learning targets.  Go ahead and just CLICK! CLICK! CLICK!

Free Digital Frames... Hand drawn by Gretchen




Guess who got a Bamboo Capture for Christmas?!!!!!!!!!! I have been playing for days, learning how to make doodle broders, clip art.... love it, love it! I compressed a zip file, free on tpt, with 14 hand drawn borders for your fun and use.... I hope they work in your documents! Click here for a quick link to TPT store.... Hopefully no more drawing and scanning for us. This should help us up our game and make our products more polished!

Getting ready for a New Year with the story, Chinatown.

Students will become familiar with Chinese culture and celebrate New Years Day by writing a New Year's Resolution and making a parade of dragons.  Gretchen and I decided it was the perfect time to share this story with our students.
