It's so hard to find time for all the things you make, but I love being able to follow your blog too and see how you use things and make "math tubs" work for you. While I didn't get to nearly half of the things in this packet this year, I have HIGH aspirations for next year!!!

Are you going to make February / March math stations!! I just LOVE LOVE them and my students think they are fantastic too!!
Thanks for being GREAT!
PS I hope that I havent missed them and you already have them out?!
Oh my gosh-- your stuff is ADORABLE!! I am new to TPT and am just buying a ton of goodies for my classroom as well as starting to load up some of the goodies that I've made over the years. I am a fourth grade teacher-- and I have a quick question for you!! Since I'm new-- I'm not too sure about uploading my docs with clip art/images. I've always gotten mine from google searches. I'm not sure about the copy rights on them. Do you have a site where you are finding all of the adorable clip arts you use or do you create them yourself? Adorable!! Thanks for your help! Can't wait to try your activities with my students!! Thanks!!
Thanks so much, Andrea! You definitely don't want to use any images that don't have friendly commercial tou's. I don't want you to get in any trouble! Check out the talented graphic artists right here on TpT...search Ashley Hughes, Krista Wallden, & Melonheadz...they're some of my favorites. Scrappin' Doodles and KPM Doodles are wonderful, too! They all have very friendly tou's :) Hope this helps! Blessings to you!
My kids only visit one math tub a day that focuses on a specific skill. I have 5 groups and 5 different tubs. Each group visits a different tub each day. By the end of the week, they've rotated through them all. When they're finished with their tub activity, they visit my **dessert** tubs and these include math activities/games they've already played! Hope this helps!! Blessings to you!
I've been teaching for 10 years. I spent 7 years teaching Kindergarten and then moved up to 2nd grade and loved it! I didn't know what I was missing. A year later I moved to 1st grade and I'll never look back. It's the best!
