1-2-3 Come Do Some Pilgrim Activities With Me!

I'm always open to suggestions for 10-frames templates.  They are such a wonderful vehicle for teaching all sorts of math concepts, so it's nice to revisit them each month. 

By changing the theme and manipulatives for the cards, you keep things fresh and interesting; so when Kathie, over in Montana, asked for a Pilgrim set, I whipped some together and thought others might enjoy them too.  Click on the link to view/download the Pilgrim 10 Frames packet.

The easy reader 1-2-3 Count Pilgrims With Me is a wonderful accompaniment.

• Students read, trace and write the number and number word.
• They see a pilgrim in a sentence and say it.
• They spy the number in a sequence and circle it.
• They X-out that many boxes or use a bingo dot marker or stamp.
• They cut and glue the set/group of pilgrims to the matching numbered box.

The packet also includes:

• 3 graphing extensions
• 30-word wall word/number flashcards
• Covers for the flashcards to make Itty Bitty Books
• A "Plus one more" math skill sheet &
• A certificate of praise.

As long as I was diddling around with my master templates, I decided to make a Pilgrim Shape Game packet too.  I've included a shape spinner in the newer shape game packets. 

You can continue to use the laminated shape cards in a math center, or you can have students pick a partner and take turns spinning.  

Whatever shape they land on, they place the matching shape tile on the twin Pilgrim card.  Make extra sets, and reinforce colors too.  Using a dry erase marker, students color in whatever shape they spin with that matching color.   Click on the link to view/download the Pilgrim Shape Games.

In another Pilgrim-themed math game, students work on their addition skills.  They take turns rolling dice to come up with an answer, and then color the sum that they find on the Pilgrim coloring sheet.   Click on the link to view/download the Pilgrim additon coloring game.

I See "Sum" Fall Puzzles includes some Pilgrim/Thanksgiving  templates and is also a math activity that can be set up as an independent center or played as a game. 

You can print, laminate and cut the puzzles to use in your math center, or run them off and have students cut and glue them together.  There are blank templates so that you can do subtraction as well as addition. Click on the link above to view/download it.

Thanks for visiting.  As always feel free to PIN away. The "Pin it" button is located at the top, on the burgundy menu bar.  I design and blog daily, so I hope you can pop on by tomorrow for the newest FREEBIES.

1-2-3 Come Do Some Veteran's Day Activities With Me!

I think it's extremely important to do some sort of patriotic activity with students on Veteran's Day.  I realize that there is so much to cram into a day, and that time simply flies, but if you incorporate an activity with your writing or reading blocks it's do-able.  These activities also work well for Daily 5 or an independent center.

There are 15 "craftivities" in the Veteran's Day packet.  Click on the link ot view/download it.  They are simple, quick and use items you already have. 

The packet includes, poems, roll and color games, worksheets, a bookmark, + 4 crafts.  I especially like the "Poppin' Poppy."  It's made from mini-cupcake wrappers. 

I've also included a few writing prompts with 4 graphic organizers to help with the pre-writing.

The Camouflage Alphabet Cards packet includes upper and lowercase letters, a 3-page tip list of what to do with the cards, Kaboom cards that make ABC games even more engaging, + 2 trace and write worksheets. Click on the link above to view/download it.

I also made a set of patriotic number cards from 1-120.  They too have a tip list, Kaboom cards + 3 trace and write worksheets. Click on the link to view/download the Patriotic Number Cards packet.

Practice more number skills, including counting backwards from 10 to 1, as well as skip counting by 10's to 100, with the Patriotic Puzzles packet. Click on the link to view/download it.

Finally, review 2D shapes.  You can set this up as an independent center, where students place laminated pieces on their matching  soldier cards, or have children choose a partner and take turns spinning the shape spinner. 

Whatever shape they land on, is the one they place on the card.  Click on the link to view/download the Veteran's Day Shape Games.

Thanks for visiting today.  I hope you and yours have a wonderful Veteran's Day, forever keeping in mind those who served.
