PUMPKIN TIME in the CLASSROOM

 

It's time for all things pumpkin! Pumpkin spice lattes are my fav, but I also have a weakness for pumpkin bread, pumpkin donuts, pumpkin pie, pumpkin cookies, ... You get the idea. And, it's time for some pumpkin fun in the classroom. Here are some of my favorites:

IT'S ABOUT TIME for STELLALUNA RESOURCES!

 


STELLALUNA, by Janelle Cannon, is not only one of my favorite picture books, but a unit I love to teach in the fall. For one week, I immerse my 1st and 2nd graders in all things batty.

To that end, I have created Hanging Out with Stellaluna, a thematic unit that includes activities for literacy centers, math centers, writing, poetry, word work, math journal prompts, lots of printable worksheets, and more! This unit is also available digitally on TPT Easel.


Naturally, center work includes bat related activities.  Tangram Puzzles tailored to the story make a fun math center.  


There are 2 phonics centers.  Bat Blends provides practice with consonant blends.

Bats & Bridges is a phonics sort focusing on vowel sounds.  
Both phonics centers are also available digitally on TPT Easel.  

You can get all of these materials in a bundle that will save you 30%!

COMPUTATION RIDDLES

 

The first quarter of the school year invokes review as students and teachers dust away the cobwebs. Make review more fun with COMPUTATION RIDDLES 

Start the year off with SCHOOL RIDDLES

These math computation task cards give your 2nd and 3rd grade students addition within 100 practice while solving riddles about school.

To begin, they solve a set of addition problems.  Then use those sums to decode the answers to the riddles.



Stock your math center with the 20 task cards.  Also available for digital learning on TPT Easel.






Post them around the classroom for RIDDLES AROUND THE ROOM. Travelling around the room allows movement that reduces restlessness and improves learning.

Use them for math journal prompts. Just print the cards in grayscale.
