Busy, Busy, Busy.....New Contraction Products

Hello All,

I've been busy preparing some materials for my class. When we return from Spring Break we will be learning about contractions again.  I've made several products to use with contractions.  There are 4 separate products uploaded right now. I am working on a couple goodies to include in a bundle you can't get by themselves.  One is Anchor Charts that will be in the bundle only and then I am working on something else and then I will get it bundled and you will save.  If you don't think you want all of them they are for sale now as individual products.

Here's the product previews:

They include recording sheets and answer keys where appropriate!

I think you'll really like these products.  If you want all of them though you should definitely wait on the bundle.  Click any of the images to go to my TPT Store to check them out.  

Just a side note because I just learned this myself. Did you know you earn credits with each purchase just by rating products you buy?  For every $1 you spend you get 1 credit.  100 credits is worth $5 of free products! I am going back and rating everything I have purchased that I never rated. I had all these credits just sitting there. I am going to use them ASAP before they change their minds and they take them away! Not that they are going to but you just never know. I can't decide if I want products for my room or clipart/fonts to use to make more "stuff" for the store! HMMMM hard choices!

So, please do leave comments on the products you purchased. Not just for the seller but also for the credits you will receive!

Have a great day! It's Spring Break and the weather is supposed to be excellent today! I can't wait!

Thanks,

Ms. Francisco

We're making some sales! Another New Product!!

Hello All,

I am in relaxation mode!  Our Spring Break started yesterday. I already made one new product and posted it in my store.  It's another scoot game for math.  It's an Adding Tens Scoot.  We are starting in on adding tens when we return from Spring Break. My kids really loved the scoot game with Time so I thought what a better way to assess them on adding tens than a Scoot Game.  Place Value is such an important concept.  We already do so many regular assessments, let's not even get into that topic right now, so having a fun way to assess is a much needed break for my firsties!

Here's a previw of the Adding Tens Scoot game!

Students will use tens models on the cards to find sums of multiples of 10 up to 100. This activity can be used as an assessment after teaching a lesson on adding 10s. This is an excellent activity to help students move from adding 1s to adding 10s by connecting the two. Knowing how to add ones can help them to add ten. The Scoot activity allows students to have movement in a fun and educational way. Product includes 24 full size cards that can be printed 2 or 4 to a page. Recording Sheet and Answer Key as well as additional uses for this activity.

I think you'll really like this Scoot Game.

Please if you buy a product or download a freebie will you please leave comments and rate the products.  It really is important to sellers on TPT! :)  Also, if you would love to pin my products on Pinterest that would be wonderful as well!

If you have time  I also have a facebook page now.  Check it out and give me a like if you would. I'm planning a special freebie when I reach 50 likes on my Facebook page. Click the monkey to go to the Facebook page!

Thanks,

Ms. Francisco

A little something for Firsties! Indefinite Pronouns!

Hello All,

I had to get some Center Activities for indefnite pronouns. There really isn't much out there.  So, I made some simple task cards to use next week in my stations.  There are only 12 task cards and there are 2 types; pick the pronoun from the sentence and then choose the correct (cloze) indefinite pronoun for the sentence.  It should keep them busy about 15 minutes. My stations have 3 activities so this should be just about right.  I may update this after this week is over.  I always look to enhance my products so if you follow my store you will be notified of any updates to products!

Anyway, here you go. Go check it out. I think it will be worth your while and it's only $2!!!

Click the image above to go to my store!

Hope you'll check it out!  Please use the Pinterest button on my blog to pin this to pinterest! Your help is appreciated! :)

Thanks,

Snow Days have made me Productive and you get a FREEBIE!!

Hello All,

Snow days have inspired me to be productive I tried Scoot with my kids on Wednesday for the first time. We only did one table as we need to practice moving to more than one table and I want them to practice short times with no talking and they did amazing. So, to treat them I made a new Scoot game for Telling Time to the Hour and the Half Hour for what we cover in First Grade.  They will really enjoy this and I think your students will as well.  Wednesday I put out clocks on their table and they wrote the time down.  This multiple choice format will get them ready for testing as they have to choose the right time out of 4 choices.

2nd grade teachers you could use this as a pre-assessment before your time unit. Last year when I taught 2nd they had a hard time with time so a preassessment would help a lot to know what you need to work them on where they are at!!


I will get some pictures and update this but for now I am linking the image below to my TPT store where you can download the Freebie from my store.  Please if you have the time will you leave me comments on my TPT store and/or pin this to Pinterest! Let's get the word out about my TPT store and blog. I have many more ideas and hope to get the word out!

Let me know how this works out in your classroom!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks,

Ms. Francisco

Black and White Polka Dots are my Favorite!

Hello,

Black and white polka dots are my favorite. Maybe you like them too!!  I made a black and white polka dot Word Wall set for my own classroom.  My whole room is black and white polka dots so I love these and they look amazing in my room!

I have a picture of them in my classroom.  This was at the beginning of the year before there were any words underneath them!

I used magnetic tape and put them up on the white board. I have a Smartboard which I love to use on the other wall across from this so I don't really need this white board to write on.

I hope you like these! They really are perfect! I have a couple more versions made so I am going to get them uploaded as well. I made a yellow and white polk dot set for a colleague I will put up.  I am going to put a "blank" set in the store as well so you can ask for a customized set.  Hope you like them! ;)

Thanks,

Ms. Francisco

I've got another new product in my TPT Store!!

Hello All,

I put a new product in my TPT Store.  Phonics are so important in K-2 classrooms.  Here's a fun sort activity that your students will enjoy.

Header cards to sort the pictures.  Then students record their words. You can remove the words if you want them to write them without help.  You can target specific blends and diagraphs by using only those that you want to target at the time.  There are several extension ideas included in the activity to make it more rigorous and challenging for your advanced students.  This activity can be used for your struggling students to your advanced students. All you have to do is print, laminate and copy.  Student directions, teacher's notes and recording sheet are all included.  I think you'll really get a lot of use out of this product. I plan to keep updating it as I find more clipart that applies I will add more to it.  It's a product that will keep on giving!

After I get a few more products uploaded I plan to give away a freebie.  Are you looking for anything specific?  Leave me a comment. I would love to know that I am making products that teachers want and need.  It is my goal to keep prices low and make products that you can actually use.

I would love for you to leave comments on my blog and/or on the TPT store so others can see how helpful the product is.

Have a great day!

Ms. Francisco
