No Coffee Blues & Flash Giveaway!

It's been a sad morning already & it's not yet 7:00 am.

I have a physical next week & my doctor ordered bloodwork :(

I'm going in this morning and had to fast.

Forget the fact that I'm starving, my sadness stems from the severe lack of coffee! I understand that I have to fast, but then why does the lab not open 'til 8:00 am??? That seems awfully cruel to early risers like me. I WILL be first in line & I WILL have an extra large DD waiting in my car for me :)

To distract myself, I'm having a flash giveaway!

I'm so excited about my newest activity pack - Number of the Day! I just uploaded it here and it features flashcards and 40 activity pages for numbers 1-20.

I have created several activity page packets & have more in various stages of incompletion. At my school, our first graders receive a weekly homework packet and reading log. A new packet goes home in their binder every Monday. Every teacher does it a little differently, but most check for completion M-F and then collect the old packets when inserting the new. At this time, they are looking over the completed packet for completion & anything glaringly alarming (such as parents' handwriting instead of the 1st graders!). As the special educator on the team, I create a differentiated homework packet. I offer the packet to all the teachers, not just the co-teachers I work most closely with. Last year, approximately 5 students out of 25 in each first grade class work from the differentiated packet.

To create the packets, I have relied heavily on ebooks & wonderful TPT resources I've discovered. Last year I started creating my own packets because I wanted to align the skills closely to the general education curriculum. I have really enjoyed making & using them! I have created packets featuring specific skills:

Just the Facts Addition and Subtraction

Superhero Math Pack

Find It Write It Read It

Read it Write It Find It 1-100

Read It Write It Find It 101-200

Letter of the Day
