Lucky Sentences for St. Patrick's Day -- Freebie

Can you believe it's almost St. Patrick's Day? Until the past few years, elementary teachers and kids were the only people I noticed celebrating. Lately, though, you see St. Patrick's Day celebrations everywhere.

To help you celebrate, here's a quick activity to put together for a literacy station. Give your students a card with a simple sentence and have them expand it into either a compound or complex sentence.

Just click on the link above for your freebie.

If you'd like a chance to get a free copy of my St. Patrick's Day Lucky Sentences pack I just posted in my TpT store, leave a tip for my readers on how you teach expanding sentences in the comment field below. I'll pick the two most original ideas and send you the entire packet. Please leave your comments by midnight on Tuesday, March 10. Be sure you include an email address so I can send you the pack.

Formal/Informal Language -- Freebie!

We've been wanting a snow day, and we got a snow week! I've done a little bit of school work and a lot of Netflix! (Just when you think you feel sorry for Don Draper, he does something to make you throw up your hands again!)

Here's a freebie for you on identifying formal and informal language from my latest packet on Penguin Chick, compatible with the second grade Journeys reading textbook.

Valentine Math Quick Writes -- Freebie!

Here's a variation on a Math Quick Write activity in my new packet. Students draw a card, set a timer for three minutes, and write as many addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problems as they can that have the answer listed on the card.

My TPT store is on sale through midnight tomorrow, so it's a good time to get twenty percent off on any of my products you have on your wish list.

Valentine Divison Scoot -- Freebie!

Are you beginning to plan your Valentine-themed activities with your kiddos?

Here's a great activity to use as either a whole-class Scoot game or in a center for practice in using division to solve word problems.

If you use it as a Scoot game, put one problem card on different desks around the room. Students can work alone or with a partner to rotate through the cards. After they work one problem, they find the next card. For a little bit of fun, add a timer and give them five or six minutes at each card before they have to move on. Give students blank paper to use to record their answers.

If you have some students needing more practice working word problems, punch holes in the cards and put them on a ring. Place the cards in one of your math stations.

Here's Hoping for Some Snow Days!

I'm hoping for some snow days this winter! I love my job, but I love spending time at home, too.

I spent some time this weekend making a multiplication freebie.

My kiddos have always loved playing games if they have to race against a clock to complete a task. Print this off on card stock and add a timer and you've got a math station that's ready to go!
