Winter Fun for Everyone! Look for the BONUS!

 I'm still here! I guess I got caught up in the holidays. I realized that I hadn't sent a note since November! Geesh! I'm so sad that I let this communication with you slip.

I'll try to be better. . . emphasis on TRY!

I have some great products to highlight for you that you can use right now. They are perfect for 2nd and 3rd graders and this time of year. Whether you have snow in your front yards or not, your students will enjoy working with these.

Just click the pictures to go directly to that product in my store. 

The first is Mixed Up Sentences For Winter.

Just print and hand out to your students. Each page has 8 sentences on it. When cut apart and unscrambled, they'll make into a short story. Students can practice reading and reading for meaning with these short sentences. They can look for sequential words that might tell them first, next, after that, and finally. When they feel they have it all in order they can read it to a partner, an adult, or an older student. They staple them together on the left side with the title on top and take them home to read again to someone.

This is also a part of a bundle with December stories.

The next product you might be interested in is

 2 Step Story Problems.

This is also just print and hand out to your students. You can give them one sheet at a time with 3 problems per page. Or you can make a booklet out of them and let them work at their own pace. Again, this will be good for 2nd and 3rd graders. 

This is on sale for only $1.00 for Jan. 14, 15, and 16.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The final product for today is Coordinates for Winter. This helps your students determine which coordinate a particular picture is on. This is similar to playing Battleship. It comes in color pages that you can put into a plastic sleeve and have students use a white board marker and erase when finished. It also comes in black and white pages so the students will have their own pages to work on and take home. There are answer keys included for you.

This is on sale for only $1.00 for Jan. 14, 15, and 16.

You can find this in a bundle also if you'd rather buy more than one at a discounted price.

You can get this More and Less activity for free! Just email me at pjrbar@charter.net and tell me that you read my blog and would like to try the More and Less activity.

These worksheets help your students add more to a number and take away that same number. This is also good for 2nd and 3rd graders.

For example: 56 / 56 + 10 = 66 / 56 - 10 = 46

If you have friends who teach 1st-3rd please tell them about my store and ask them if they follow me. They too could get some great deals!

Making the Bus Ride Better on a Field Trip

 

Making the Bus Ride Better on a Field Trip

Many of you are getting ready for field trips. Some of those field trips require a long bus ride. Here's what we do to make the bus ride less painful for the kids and YOU!

We prepare a clipboard for each seat on the bus. Two kids will share this clipboard.

If you don't have enough clip boards, use your white boards and a clothespin to attach the papers to the board.

 Each clipboard has two Tic Tac Toe and 

Dot to Dot games on it.

They also have a word search puzzle that has to do with the place we are going and two blank pages to draw on.

I grab some spares just in case! Extra sharpened pencils are a must too!

This crate of books (or two) will be slid back and forth down the aisle so they can read books if they choose to.

We also provide a juice box and crackers or pretzels for the ride home. Bring along a garbage bag and pick up the trash before you reach the school, so you're not leaving a huge mess for the bus driver. 

And most importantly teach your kids to thank the bus driver as they get off the bus. A few kind words and deeds make their day more special too!

All of these things help to pass the time on the bus ride. What do you do on your bus rides?
