I'm All Ears For Common Core

1-2-3 Come Practice, Review and Assess With a Bunny and Me

Spring has sprung and it's time to review some of those Common Core Standards you've been teaching all year.

Sigh.... as we all know, just because our little ones passed an assessment months ago, if we didn't continue to practice it throughout the year, sadly, a few of them did not retain that information.

With that in mind, I designed the very versatile "I'm All Ears" game packet that will make reviewing a variety of standards quick, easy and fun.

I don't know about your kiddos, but I've found that if I make a game for anything, I've grabbed my Y5's attention and can easily have them focused for a nice chunk of time.

Use the large and small bunny for a center activity, assessment, or game. Run off the large and small bunny heads on ivory construction paper; laminate and trim.

Program large and small craft sticks with whatever you'd like to reinforce. Keep each set in their own Baggie.

I've included a list of synonyms/antonyms and a list of contractions so you can easily program the bunny ears with words that fit your age group.

Here are some ideas:

uppercase-lowercase letters
number-number word
number-group/set
contraction-words that make up the contraction
synonyms and antonyms
equation-answer
color-color word
shape-shape word
2 words-compound word
singular-plural
long or short vowel sound to a matching word example

As you can see the possibilities are endless! I hope this makes those end of the year reviews a bit more fun and less tedious. Click on the link for the "I'm All Ears" For Common Core Bunny Game Packet

Thanks for visiting. It's hard to believe that the school year is almost at an end. Aprill and May months always seemed to simply fly, as there was so much to cram into the limited time I had left.

My timer's ringing, so I'd better check the "No Peek Chicken". It's one of my favorite recipes and smells delicious. Wishing you a carefree day.

Can Do Common Core Kite Worksheets

1-2-3 Come Do Some Common Core Kite-Themed Activities With Me

A mini kite theme, was one of the many units I included in our March activities.

I thought other teachers might like to toss in a few kite-themed lessons, during this windy month as well, so I designed "Can Do Common Core Kites." The packet includes 14 different worksheets.

kite activities, common core kites, alphabet activities, alphabet games, alphabet assessment, skip counting activities, skip counting by 2s 3s 5s 10s, odd and even activities, tally marks, tally mark activities, number words, color words, doubles addition activities There are full-page patterns, so you can easily demonstrate what you want your kiddos to do, by making a sample.

kite activities, common core kites, alphabet activities, alphabet games, alphabet assessment, skip counting activities, skip counting by 2s 3s 5s 10s, odd and even activities, tally marks, tally mark activities, number words, color words, doubles addition activities To conserve paper, I've also included 2-on-a-page templates.

Pick and choose what's appropriate for your students.

If you're studying all of these standards, to save time, run off all of the double-page worksheets, trim on a paper cutter and collate into a mini Flying High With Common Core workbook. Use the "I Spy" a letter worksheet as your cover.

I Spy games are a quick, easy and fun way to whole group assess. Simply call out a letter. Children find and circle it then raise their hand. You can see at a glance who is having difficulty.

Once done with the game, assign however many worksheets you want your students to do that day. I used this type of activity for my morning "table top" routine.

Here are what the worksheets practice:

Tally marks
Numbers & number words
Colors & color words
An alphabet "I Spy" Kk is for kite
Doubles addition
Greater than & less than
Odd & even plus
Skip counting by 2s, 3s, 5s, & 10s.

Thanks for visiting. I caught the flu bug last week, and if you've been there, you know how difficult it is to shake. It feels good to finally be among the "living" so it's time for some fresh air.

Since spring is "officially" here, it would be nice if Mother Nature got the message and the temp would get above 40. I'm so in need of some soothing sunshine. (Anybody relate?) Wishing you a healthy and happy day.

I'm sure most of us use Dr. Seuss for lots of reading and writing activities, but you can also toss in some math as well. Here's how...

Activities Featuring Dr. Seuss's Grinch

1-2-3 Come Do Some Super-Fun Grinch Activities With Me

There are so many activities out there for Seuss's Cat in the Hat, that I wanted to design some things with another popular character.

Grinch activities, grinch crafts, grinch games, how the grinch stole christmas, GR word blends, word blend activities, contractions, contraction cards, list of contractions, contraction games, Daily 5 word work for March, Daily 5 word work for Seuss, Seuss common core, common core seuss, alphabet games, alphabet cards, alphabet activities, number cards 0-120, number words, color words, We usually think of the Grinch in December, because after all, he tried to steal Christmas, but I felt he was the perfect "creature" to "munch and crunch a variety of standards for lunch!" so I created the "Feed the Grinch Game".

"Feeding" cards to a Grinch-topped container, is a quick, easy and fun way to review all sorts of things.

Print, laminate and trim the "food" cards.

These are mini cards that include upper and lowercase letters, numbers from 0-120, 11 number word cards, twelve 2D shape cards, twelve 3D shape cards, 35 contraction cards, 94 "GR is for GRinch" gr word blend cards, and 11 color word cards!

I chose bright neon-colors, for that extra touch of Seuss-pizzazz. There's also a set of blank tiles for you to fill in with whatever else you want to review or practice.

Besides "feeding" the Grinch, make extra sets of the cards to play all sorts of games. I've included tip lists suggesting more activities, plus the "Kaboom!" game.

There's also a set of math symbols as well, so you can use the number cards for other math activities, like making up equations and solving them, plus showing greater & less than.

Students can also sort the number cards into odd and even piles and sequence them.

Play Memory Match or "I Have; Who Has?" games with the number word cards and their matching number cards.

The shape cards, as well as the color cards, work in the same way. You can also play these games with the letter cards, matching an uppercase letter to a lowercase one.

There are a number of options you can use for the container. I bought a green bucket from The Dollar Store. Currently, they have all sorts of pails and buckets for the Easter season.

Print off the Grinch on green construction paper then cut around the edges. If you want his eyes to pop, print another Grinch on yellow construction paper then cut out just the eyes and glue them on.

So that the Grinch’s face, easily fits over the top of the bucket, I glued it to half of a sturdy paper plate. Fold his “mouth” on the dotted line so that children can flip it up and drop the Grinch “food” cards inside the bucket.

Add a green "hair" feather at the top, for extra pizzazz, and hold the plate down with some glue dots. The packet includes labels to decorate your container. Store each set of “food” cards in their own Ziploc Baggie inside the bucket.

To play, simply pass out whatever cards you want to practice with to your kiddos, then call out a word, letter, number etc. The child holding that card comes up, reads and shows it, then "feeds" the hungry grumpy Grinch.

Besides using a bucket, you can also use a dishwashing-detergent, flip-top container, to make your hungry Grinch. Only the front section lifts up, making the perfect “mouth” for “feeding”.

The container in the photo, is from a 10-pack of Mr. Clean erasers that I bought at Sam’s Club. Cascade, as well as other dishwashing detergents, also use this type of container. (It's the detergent that comes packaged in little pillows.)

Finally, celebrate Seuss with these two Grinch "craftivities" that I just finished today.

Both of them are in the Rhyming & Writing Are a Cinch With the Grinch packet.

One features two writing prompts. Students think of things that make them grin like the Grinch.

They jot these down on the left side. On the right side, they list things that make them "Grinchly and grumpy".

The other craft is a "doorknobber". Children fold their paper in half and glue it together, cutting the slit and hole at the top.

On the front, students glue their photo face over the Grinch's, after they color it.

On the back, they list all of the words that they can think of that rhyme with whatever word you assign. I chose Grinch and Seuss.

Samples of both are included, so you can easily show examples to your students, to help explain what you want them to do.

Well that's it for today. It felt good to get a few more things checked off my too-long "To Do" list. Feeling overwhelmed, definitely makes me feel "Grinchy".

My feet have hit the floor running, as there's lots to do today. Wishing you a "Seuss-tastic" day, filled with giggles galore.

"So be sure when you step, step with care and great tack, and remember that life's a great balancing act!" -Dr. Seuss
