Five For Friday

Today I'm linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching for Five for Friday! 

I just posted, in my TPT store, the first two parts of my Wild About... games, featuring these precious zoo animals. 

First is Wild About...Fact Families! 

I am *SO* excited to use these next year. I love the QR code for checking answers! 

Second came Wild About...Multiplication

This contains two digit by one digit multiplication task cards. 

Right now I'm working on Wild About...Greater than/Less than games. 

Here's what I have so far!

I love listing products as free for the first 12-24 hours, so if you want a chance to grab this for free, follow my TPT store! 

I got an Instagram! I mean, I've had one for forever, but I made one for my blog and TPT store. It has been really depressing exciting to see everyone's Vegas pictures! I love how quickly I can share ideas on Instagram. No offense blogger, it's just so easy!

Oh Target...you get me every time. I went for toilet paper and soap and walked about with $50 of classroom "essentials." I'm sure I'm preachin' to the choir! (How could I say no to $3 outdoor pillows?! Obviously I couldn't!)  

Hello beach balls! I've already started making these fun inflatables into valuable classroom tools! Come back for Monday Made It to see how I'm going to use them in my classroom!

(My Five for Friday is really a Four for Friday, but it's summer, so who's counting?!) 

TPT Help Needed

I am looking for advice! Has anyone promoted their products on TPT (for smaller stores)? What was your experience? Was it worth the money? I feel like it would be a great way to get my shop "out there," but I'd love to hear from someone who has had success. Anybody? :) 

Wild About...Multiplication!

Do your kids need to practice two digit by one digit multiplication? This is a great way! These task cards/scoot cards are a fun way to get your students wild about multiplication! They are on sale right now! (Even better!) 

There is a recording page and an answer key included. 

Monday Made It!

Today I'm linking up with Tara from 4th Grade Frolics for Monday Made It! 

My first "Made it" is this stool! I had the stool in my classroom last year, but it was plain and boring. It's now Texas Tech themed and painted with my (very soon to be) new last name! SO exciting! 

Next I made this desktop organizer! I'm already in love with it! It's pretty and it's keeping my desktop from becoming a jungle! I used clip art in powerpoint to create it! After you have everything the way you want it, you just group all the elements and then save as a picture! 

Southwestern Salad. Enough said! I had been drooling over THIS pin for a week before I made the salad! I will warn you, the recipe made way to much for the three people eating it at my house, but it was so tasty! 

 My last "Made It" is my first "Wild About..." game! The game has kids making fact families (addition/subtraction or multiplication/division) and there are QR codes for checking! (I love QR codes!!)

It's FREE until noon today! SO grab it quickly!! (And if you do, please leave a rating!) :) 

If you missed the freebie, don't worry, It's on sale!

Thanks for stoppin' by! 

Wild About...Fact Families!

Krista Wallden recently released her zoo animals and they're absolutely inspiring! I just want to add these cuties to everything I make! 

Introducing a new game...

Wild About...Fact Families! 

These two games feature addition/subtraction fact families and multiplication/division fact families! Both versions have the option of game cards with or without QR codes. I can't wait to get these game pieces laminated and set up for my class in the fall! (Can you tell I really am enjoying prepping for next year?!) 

I plan on making several "Wild About..." games, so stay tuned! 

The best part about this product is that it is FREE for right now! Tomorrow afternoon it will become a paid product, so make sure you snatch it up quickly, and leave feedback if you do! 

And I almost forgot! Here is a buggy mental math game I will be using in my room. Students draw a number card and then continue to add on to their number as they work their way around the game board. Students continue to draw new number cards to add on to until their are no cards left! This one is staying a freebie, so enjoy! (Once again, feedback is always GREATLY appreciated!)

Hooked on Math Games Freebie (for now!!)

I'm so excited about these underwater themed math games! I just know that my kids will love them. There are two games and two sets of task cards/scoot cards with recording pages. The best part?? They are FREE for today only! Please leave feedback if you download! I can't wait to print and laminate these for the fall! (And this clip art is PERFECT! I just adore Krista Wallden's clip art!) 

 

Mud!

I saw this clip art set and had to grab it up! So here is a fun multiplication game. It's called Mud! Students choose a card, solve and check with the QR code. If correct, the pig goes to their pig-pen. If not, it goes back into the stack. If a student draws a mud card, they put all their piggies back into the stack. Easy, low prep and the game can be played for longer periods of time. Can't beat that! Grab yours for $1 for the next 48 hours! After that it will be $2. :)
