I'm ending my 12th year of teaching! Eleven of those years have been teaching 1st grade and one year was teaching 2nd grade.
I'm going back to 2nd grade next year:)
A simple way for children to practice spelling their sight words. Roll a dice and choose a sight word. Follow what the Roll and Spell key says.
This is a Microsoft Word document. You can change the dice instructions easily.
This is a multi-slide flipchart that allows you to go through adding one, subtracting one, adding ten, and subtracting ten. It goes gradually through each one using arrows to help you add and subtract.
There's also a slide for you to create your own and check your answers with a magnifying glass.
The 100s charts themselves are tools that I found online but put it all together myself.
Multiple slides for Part Part Wholes. Click on one side and dots appear, then SW try to figure out what number is missing to make the number.
Ex. a 10 is at the top of the page, Click on one side and see 3 dots, SW try to figure out 7 is the missing number.
I did these for all numbers 2-10
This is a 207 page Promethean flipchart that gives you 180+ days of math journal topics. It is broken into different topics and color coded so you know when a new topic starts. It allows students a place to draw a picture/representation, write an equation, and write a solution sentence. It is broken into addition, subtraction, missing addends, missing subtrahands, counting on, counting back, balancing equations, etc. It also has blank template slides for you to add your own journal topics for ea
You can change words by clicking on them. You drop the game pieces down and play Connect Four just like you usually do but you have to say the sight word first.
You can change it to easier or harder words, or even letters, etc.
I use this grid to give clues on how to find specific numbers. You can make the clues as easy or as hard as you want.
Clue Examples: 1 ten and 5 ones, 3 doubled, 10 + 10 + 10, 1 less than 38, 10 more than 56, 10 less than 49, etc.
I find a mystery picture online (usually) or create my own on a 120 chart first (you can use a 100s chart). Then I create my own clues. You can differentiate for your class also by making different clue sheets of different levels. I've included an example of one I ma
There are 15 Writers Workshop Characters that help the kids remember what Good Writers Do...example, Super Space Hero helps them to remember spaces and Ending Eddie reminds them to add an ending to their writing.
I use the sheet w/all of them as kind of a rubric in their binders and put stickers on them when they do each one.
I use the one w/9 copies as a conferencing sheet attached to their work. I highlight what they've done well, and circle what they need to work on.
I created characters (from a circus) to help children remember different strategies to add & subtract.
The strategies include: Drawing pictures, counting on, counting back, tally marks, crossing out, ten frames, and number line.
There are Word documents that go along with them.
I have 12 word documents ranging from CVC with short o,a,u, CVC with short i, e, Blends, Digraphs, and 200 sight words. Each one is numbered in the bottom left corner and gets gradually harder.
3 different kinds of skills
1) numbers represented as they look on dice
2) numbers represented differently
3) black and white dots represented for different equations
A few story problems covering adding 2 numbers, using different strategies, adding 3 whole numbers and balanced equations using a fall and Thanksgiving theme.
We've all seen the cute animal reading strategies that teachers have used for years now... well I took the same concept and created a play on words with foods/drinks. It's called the Strategy Diner:)
Examples are: Chunky Cheese, Mouth Ready-Whip, Stretch-ghetti
This is a multi-slide flipchart that allows you to use arrows to add one, subtract one, add 10 and subtract 10. It starts simple and gradually covers each one. It also has a slide for you to create your own problems and check your answers w/a magnifying glass.
The 100s chart that is active was found as a tool online. That chart is not an original by me. I originated everything else.
There are 11 different word documents that gradually get harder from CVC, CCVC, blends, dirgraphs, and 200 sight words. Each one is numbered in the bottom corner so you know which level.
I use this at my school to keep up with data on my students. You can easily change the names and what you are keeping data on.

Teaching style
I use the Promethean regularly. I also am a firm believer in the children working together to come up w/solutions. I enjoy learning about new ways of teaching/delivering and finding how I can incorporate my own style w/them.
