A Little Personal Joy!!

I just wanted to share with all my blogger friends out there a little joy that I got today! I know this is an educational blog, however I feel it can be nice to share some personal "happenings".

Today my brother came home from college!! He finished his Junior year! I am so proud of him and his accomplishments! He's almost done and we all can't wait. yay!!

Another great thing is that I have recently started growing a tomato plant on my patio! I am so excited to see them beginning to bloom!! :) YAY for spring!!

It's the small things that make me smile and realize how blessed I am! 

Spending a relaxing evening at home with my family! I am truly thankful for quality time, with the ones I hold close to my heart!

Blessings!!

Good Night Blogger! <3

Multiplication Hopscotch

Multiplication Hopscotch

WHAT AN AMAZING IDEA!!! I had to share!! Sooo.. I've been thinking of a way to continue teaching while wearing out my kiddos. I really enjoyed this, because their legs, mouth, and brains are all functioning at once!! It's great.

Materials:

*Tape

*Sidewalk Chalk

*Numbers (if not using sidewalk chalk)

*Timer (optional)

So the rules of the game is to first, find or make a hopscotch board. If you don't have one already, you can use sidewalk chalk outside.

Then the students start at 2 and multiply by the number they land on as they land. (For example: if they start as 2 they multiply 2X2=4 , then 2x3=6 , then 2x4=8 until they get to 10 at the end of the course. The kid who goes next will start as 3 and then 4 and so on.)

The goal is not only to get to the end, but to do it accurately. This will definitely show the kiddos that know their facts. For the kids who know their facts, you can mix up the numbers on the ground or you could have them start at the end and work their way to the beginning. Timer is optional, because you can also make it more of a challenge to time your kids.

So awesome!! Watch my kids go!! :)

#2 In line

She multiplied every number she landed on by 2

#9 In line

She multiplied every number she landed on by 9

I will say, that playing this game really showed who knew them and who had to stop and use their fingers. It also shows who has been studying regularly! 

Throwback Thursday

We made it to THURSDAY! Thank you God for your grace!

So... I was thinking that since today was Thursday I would take a minute to think back to last year. Think about something that you have previously done, because I'm sure we all did some great things that we could share. So please share some favorites of your own! 

I WANT to hear them! :)

Abbreviation Craftivity

After learning about abbreviations and singing the "abbreviation song"  haha.. we made a craft. The only rule was that you have to use your abbreviation in the picture. It can't just be "in it", but it has to be a part of it. The kids took it and "ran" with it! <3 I would do this again. It was a win- win, kids got to draw and I got to find an activity that let them use abbreviations.

Texas Gifted and Talented PSP Project

Building a business!! OH what fun this was! LOVED this!! The kids did research on popular toy companies. Learned how they began, and who the inventors were. They then became inventors and created their own toy company! What an awesome thing! Some of the kids came up with some good project ideas. If only we could build it?!?! 

Puzzle Games

 I love the idea of using puzzles to strengthen skills!! I made several different puzzles and some in language and some in math. My kiddos enjoy them because its a different format! All I did was go to dollar tree and trace the puzzle pieces, write part on the puzzle and the other part on the board. Works great!

I make these for people. I do ask that you give me a few days. But I do make them on TPT! These are fun for kids.
