A Different Making Words Folder Idea

Rachelle over at What The Teacher Wants blogged the other day about the folder she uses for Making Words. That reminded me that I don't think I ever shared what I use so thanks Rachelle!

This idea I believe was first shared by the Santa-Maria Bonita School District. 

All you need is file folders and the small size of post-it notes.

Make sure you write the letter on the file folder first so the kids know where to put it back. They think it is such fun to unstick and restick the notes to make a word in the big open space.

I use these in my guided reading groups so they stay nice since I store them. The best part is that this is inexpensive and very easy to replace a note if it loses its stick.

Comments make the {blogging} world go 'round :-)

Facebook/Twitter and a Giveaway

I am excited to report my blog now has a Facebook page and you can follow me on Twitter! To celebrate my grand opening I am giving away a copy of the new game I made: Place-Value Go Fish.

 

It includes matching cards for the numbers 1-40. 

You could separate the cards into 1-20 and 21-40 to differentiate. 

My tutoring student and I had fun playing the Doubles version so I figured why not apply it to other concepts? This one took WAY longer to make though due to all the clipart (and my computer is acting up again..I'm convinced it does it so I will actually get off it for awhile!)

I made Math Talk cards again and I'm pleased to say that I used the doubles one with my tutoring student and it was GREAT (way to go Debbie Diller!) By the way, I have a bone to pick with you all-Why did no one correct me when I called it Text Talk? Where the heck did I even get that from??

Chapter 5 Freebie: Go Fish For Doubles

I am loving this Debbie Diller book study.  Chapter 5 had some great ideas and linking to see other teachers ideas is so helpful. I knew I wanted to make the Go Fish game Debbie explained, so I did and I decided to share it with you as a freebie. Please leave me feedback or a comment.

I left it black and white and thought I'd copy on colored cardstock.
