Counting Picnic -- Freebie!

The ants come marching one by one!

Hurrah! Hurrah!

It's not one by one in this activity.

Your kiddos have to determine if the ants are marching by fives, by tens, or by hundreds.

Skipping Turkeys -- Freebie

I have so much to be thankful for. Sometimes it's hard to narrow it down to just one item for a post.

 Not today.

 I am thankful that the call to our local high school last Friday saying there was a gunman in the cafeteria was only a prank. I am thankful that none of my friends who work at SCHS or attend school there were injured. I am thankful that our local law enforcement and school district personnel responded so quickly. I am hopeful that others who might consider playing such a prank in the future have learned how fearful the parents and family members of those at the school felt, not knowing if their family members and friends were safe.

I am just thankful.

Now for your freebie…

These turkeys are skipping around! Your kiddos have to figure out the counting pattern and sort them under the correct heading.

Happy Thanksgiving!

My New Adventure - and a Giveaway!

After lots and lots of thought and conversations with my teaching and blogging friends, I've decided to open a Teachers Notebook Shop.

Hopefully, I'll make enough to cover the cost of my new books and the clip art I use in my freebies for you!

Don't worry....I still plan on posting lots and lots of freebies correlated to the Common Core Standards. I'll just have additional materials available for a small cost.

Here is my first item I've uploaded to my store. It's a collection of games and activities for skip counting practice. Everything is new and hasn't been posted on my blog before. I'm even giving away a free copy in my shop. Just click on the pic below to go to the link to enter the giveaway.

If you want to see the items as I post them, click on the Teachers Notebook button at the top right of my blog.
