Making Tens

My littles love this activity when I get it out.  We've been working on ten frames for months and this is just an extention.  I have numbers between 20-99 on cards for them to choose and lots of egg cartons that I have cutinot ten frames.  they choose a number, use manipulatives and fill the ten frames to create that number.  I put this in a center and it gives me a chance to work with them on this skill.  I use my center time for my tutor and I to work independently with them on skills they are having trouble with.  This is one they all want to get to.  I leave it out for the rest of year.  How do you work with your class on this skill?

a freebie to let me know what you think

I have several items over at TPT that will go along with this time of year.  Come over to check them out and let me know what you think.  This is a freebie I'm offering and would like to know if I should take time to do the complete alphabet.  Check it out and let me know what you think.

T is for Teacher

I'm still learning

I'm posting 2 of the activities I've posted on TPT.  The one on top is a noun activity where they have to sort by people, places and things.  I used American and Louisiana symbols.  It addresses vocabulary.  The next shows how I can't figure out how to turn shots from my phone yet.  There's always something to learn.  It's a Mardi Gras real vs. nonsense word sort.  This is GREAT help for Dibels practice.  I use it as an indicator for who needs more help.
