FREEBIE FRIDAY: Fairy Tale Odd and Even Number Sorting

Who doesn't love fairy tales?

This week's FREEBIE FRIDAY is a math station

with a cute fairy tale theme.

It's a sorting mat for your students to use 

to practice sorting odd and even numbers.

Just print and laminate the work mat.

Print, laminate and cut apart the number cards.

Partners or groups could work together on the

same mat to sort the number cards.

As they sort, have them use the recording sheet

to list their answers.

The packet also comes with an answer key.

If you enjoy the FREEBIE,

that is for sale in my store.

Happy Friday!

FREEBIE FRIDAY: President's Day

February turns us to hearts and roses and sometimes President's Day sneaks up on us. If that happens to you, I have an easy writing/drawing printable that requires no prep work.

Just print and give them a prompt (or not LOL).

The pack comes with lined and unlined choices

so they can be used for writing or picture drawing.

Either way, they would make for a cute bulletin board.

Just click on the picture and pick up your FREE copy.

Run the Race

I love that the Bible is so relatable. 

That we can find so many different topics in 

the Bible that address whatever we need at the time

(& that includes fun topics like SPORTS).

Several years ago, I did a whole sports theme

in my classroom. As I was preparing it for 

my public school classroom, God allowed me to

write this unit even though I was not able to use

it at the time.

RUN the RACE

focuses on Hebrews 12:1-2 where Paul

compares the discipleship journey

to a race as well as the understanding that intense training

& discipline produces strength & endurance.

It includes an original rhyming story that I wrote,

that can be printed and made into a class booklet.

GROOVY tour of America

 In Social Studies we needed to cover some landmarks, so we spent the whole month of February on an AMERICAN TOUR with a groovy theme.

We traveled by "funky vans" to several points of interest in the US.

Our stops included the Appalachian Mountains, Niagara Falls, Route 66, Mount Rushmore, Yellowstone National Park to visit Old Faithful, the sequoia trees in Yosemite National Park, the Grand Canyon and finally home to the Everglades.

Our routine for each stop was...
1) Read a non-fiction book to gather facts.
2) Map It Out!

3) Complete a page in our travel log.

Several of my kids had been to some of our stops and were thrilled to bring in pictures of their family vacations. It helped them contribute neat facts that we had not read about in our books.
We talked about the places we would really like to visit, what we would (and would not) do if we went. Many of them did not want to camp out with the wild animals. But most of them did have very creative ways for how they would like to go over Niagara Falls (including in a barrel).

At the end of the month we combined all of our pages so we would have a
Tour Book of our travels.

I also had them complete a writing assessment to see
what they had learned about our different stops.

 I thought they learned a lot and I know they had a groovy time!
Here are the files for our travel log, cover, and writing sheets in case you want them:)

Safe travels!
