Kicking Up Learning

Print and go sub plans for a day! All you need is the book If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and your sub can take it from there. Students will practice reading, writing, and math throughout the day. Lots of opportunity to color and practice their motor skills as well.

Use the book Pete the Cat and his Four Groovy Buttons. Once you've read the book you can use this sheet for students to practice their subtraction from any number you choose. You choose how many buttons students start with and then they can roll a die to see how many buttons they will subtract. I recommend laminating the sheet and using dry erase markers.

Practice 1:1 counting using the pumpkin cards or dice with these fun fall themed pumpkin boards. There are boards for numbers 1-5 or 1-10 using the counting cards. For dice there are boards for 1-6 or 1-12. Students can roll balls of doh and smash them onto the numbers they roll or count on dice. Different variations for lots of fall fun! For extra fun, students can cover their numbers with candy pumpkins!

Students can roll their dice and count the pips! Match the number of pips to the matching gingerbread man. Students can cover the numbers with mini erasers or counters. Or print out the black and white version and students can color them as they roll them!

Practice counting pips with a thankful turkey! You can play as a Smash game wtih play doh or use magnetic chips and wands to up the fun of counting pips on the dice. Print the page your children need practice (1-6 or 1-12). Laminate for multiple uses. Students can play in pairs or independently.

Decorate the tree with magnetic chips on top of the number students roll! Roll each number 2-12 once and enjoy the colorful decorated tree students make before using a magnetic wand to start all over! OR Students can roll 2 dice and then roll mini doh balls to cover each number they roll. Copy and laminate for many uses or copy for students to take home.
