Basic fact mastery can be a hurdle, but “drill and kill” or timed tests typically aren’t the answer. While I used some websites and apps, technology wasn’t always an option and some students simply didn’t respond to the speed aspect of it either. As a result, I came up with these super simple games and…
Carter and I hosted a rainbow themed play date for St. Patrick’s Day and it was so much fun that we just had to share! In addition to playing with rainbow colored balloons and dancing around like crazy, we had a few structured activities for early learning fun.
It’s no secret that I’m big fan of TeachersPayTeachers because I know my kiddos best, and I enjoy creating resources to meet their needs. As teacher-authors share resources and build our catalog, you’re left with hundreds of teacher-made products to meet each of your needs. But I’m also a big fan of NOT reinventing the wheel….

I ended up making an addition/subtraction version for second/third grades as well as a multiplication/division version for third/fourth grades. Because I teach third grade, I’ll…
Forgive me because today’s post is going to be a little all over the place. BUT, I wanted to share some of my new finds with you. I love summer break because it gives me time to catch up on blog stalking! First up, ME! I mean, come on! How cute is that? I love…
Measuring is a big deal in third grade. Inches, centimeters, millimeters, conversions within measurement… we’re always using those pesky rulers and meter sticks! So… I wanted to share this cute little center with you. As a bonus, it also has a monster theme that matches our classroom. Fun! Just like the Estimating Throughout the Year…
