About the store
I've taught for 10 years, and couldn't imagine doing anything else! I taught preschool for one year, 1st grade for seven years, and am in my second year teaching 3rd grade. I've had experience teaching all subjects in both first and third grade, and specializing in ELA for first grade for five years, and math/science in third grade, and I've loved it all!

Physical and Chemical Changes Sort

Created by
Sarah A
This is a sorting activity in which students can categorize pictures of physical and chemical changes of matter. There are 18 cards with photographs and 2 heading cards. I have my students work in small groups or in partners to complete this activity. It can be played as a matching game if additional heading cards are printed. My students loved the realistic examples and had some excellent scientific discussions why each image fit in each category!

This is an anchor chart introducing the concept of perimeter. It has two visual examples, real world examples, and colorful graphics to help students remember the definition and formula!

Mass War Game

This is a fun activity to help students compare masses measured in grams and kilograms. It is played like the game War, in which students each place a card down at the same time, and must compare the amounts. The student with the greater card gets to keep the pair! It would be a great addition to Math Centers when students are learning about mass and capacity!

Capacity War Game

Created by

This is a fun activity to help students compare different capacities. It is played like the game War, in which students each place a card down at the same time, and must compare the capacities. The student with the greater card gets to keep the pair! It would be a great addition to Math Centers when students are learning about mass and capacity!
Preview of Multiplication Poster

Multiplication Poster

Created by
Sarah A
This poster helps students remember the three parts of a multiplication equation. I teach my students to break multiplication word problems into three parts - the group, the size of the group (each), and the total. My students have learned to locate key words indicating multiplication and writing out GET, labeling each part with either a specific number or a question mark for the unknown. It has really helped them to understand how multiplication works, rather than just memorize facts!
