Fall Multiplication Practice Freebie Printable

Hello everyone! Fall is in full swing now and I can certainly tell with all of the teaching going on. Shew! I feel like somedays I'm in a whirlwind! 

This year, I noticed that my kids really need to perk up on their multiplication facts. We use the iPad app Speed Drill to practice, and they LOVE it! And....it's free! I also created a fall multiplication practice pack. This includes a few color by the code sheets. Once students find the product, they color by the code. It's just a fun way to practice multiplication facts without the constant drill, drill, drill. {although we still do those drills} 

You can download your blog FREEBIE "At the Pumpkin Patch" HERE. 

I let my students use colored pencils or markers, but making sure they allow me to still see the answer. This is a change in pace from the normal fact sheets. I hope you enjoy!

This is from my Fall Multiplication Pack. You'll find a few more color by the codes and multiplication word problem task cards, too, which I like to use for small group cooperative learning activities or in math centers. 

Thanks for stopping by! 

Teacher Tote Bags only $10

Hello Cafe Friends!

Hope you all are doing well and are enjoying these nice fall days. The crisp, cooler nights are wonderful! This is the time of year when I'm cleaning out my closets and buying new things. Maybe it's the change of seasons that makes me wanna clean out. Whatever it is, I'm happy about it!

In addition to my kids' clothes, I cleaned out so many bags! Now I've made plenty of space for my new ones. ;-) I think I have a serious bag addiction. It's like shoes...each bag serves its own purpose. Anyone with me? 

Do you ever think you need just one more bag? I wanted to share some new tote bags I'm selling with you. I'm so excited about these bags! I use them for everything! 

Here are some of the ways I've used totes just like these:

(1) Teacher bag- It holds a lot, plus it's stylish!

(2) Overnight bag

(3) Travel / carry-on bag

(4) Shoe bag (yes, I've needed one of these to just carry my shoes for vacation)

(5) Beach / Pool bag 

(6) Diaper Bag - perfect for diapers and other items, not so bulky

(7) Gym bag

(8) Extra bag to roll up and put in luggage for souvenirs :-)

(9) Dirty laundry bag - yeah I did. Since it zips, I didn't worry about anything falling out and I simply washed it on the cool, gentle wash setting and hung dry. Good as new!

(10) Gifts! I'd roll up a beach towel and place an acrylic tumbler inside for a nice gift

Below are some of the styles~ and they're only $10.00. They would look great monogrammed! {Sorry, I am unable to monogram for ya' though.} 

Here are a few of the designs of these totes:

Hello Cafe Friends!

I hope you have enjoyed your summer! I sure have! It's now time to get back into the school groove! I recently created some reading passage posters to help with comprehension.

  I've included these freebies HERE. 

I start using these the first day we begin reading passages. Using the mnemonic for "The Pirates Quickly Sailed Away" somehow stuck with my students and helped them think through reading passages and questions rather than just rushing through. It's a nice visual reminder. The pirate theme adds a little "fun" to sometimes redundant passages. 

Hope you can use this with your students!

Freebie #5 - Winter Adding, Subtracting, Multiplication Game Board

Welcome Back!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!!

 

This freebie will be useful in your math centers or cooperative groups. All you need is a set of dice.

 

Pairs of students will roll the dice and either: add, subtract or multiply the 2 numbers shown on the dice. {If using multiplication, students will probably advance quicker on the board, so they may want to keep a tally chart of how many times they reach the North Pole. The "winner" will be the one who reaches the North Pole 3 times, 5 times, etc..

 

To make this fun and exciting I like to use colored marshmallows as playing pieces- students will pick a color.

 

This a fun, time-filler that's educational and versatile.

Have a relaxing break!

Christmas Freebie #4 - Text Evidence Posters

Welcome Café Friends!

If you're like me, you're probably running around like a crazy person right about now.... last minute gifts, wrapping, baking, and seeing just what else can be crammed into these last few days before Christmas!

 

I would think most of you are on break now. If not, hopefully you will be soon.

 

 For this freebie {and for #5} I decided not to do a Christmas theme. Over break --at some point--- I like to begin looking into planning for our second semester of school. For this freebie I'd like to share Text Evidence Posters. We use these ALL THE TIME!

 I trim these down and display them in the front of my class. As we discuss texts, students refer to the posters when supporting their answers. This works really well with written responses!

 So... I thought I'd share these in hopes that they may help your little learners become better "reading detectives".

 

The posters remind them to dig deeper in the text to find evidence to support their answer.
