. Since Julia recommended Teaching Numeracy, Language, and Literacy with Blocks my attitude towards these unit blocks has completely changed. This book is a complete block guide. There are so many things you can do, so many ways you can use blocks that I had never considered. Mindset changed! . As soon as I read about it I knew Otis would like this. I traced around twelve different sized blocks in pencil on A4 paper. Then I copied over the pencil with a black marker and laminated the sheet. Then I presented them to Otis with the corresponding blocks on...
Assessment Kit - Literacy and Numeracy for Foundation Students This product is an assessment kit that will provide a quick snapshot of your students progress. I have used this kit to assess learning at the end of term 1 and also in the middle of term 2. This kit has been used for Foundation students learning the Victorian Curriculum and Australian Curriculum. It assesses: Literacy - upper and lower case letter identification and sound recognition, writing their name, writing letters, writing words Numeracy - identifying numbers from 0-10, matching 0-10 to quantities, ordering numbers from 0-10, identifying basic 2D shapes, copying, continuing and creating pattens, sorting objects and writing numbers It contains: x1 A4 page Literacy Assessment x1 A4 page Numeracy Assessment Flashcards 0-10 - Numeral Flashcards 1-10 - Dots to count Flashcards Basic 2D Shapes Flashcards Upper Case Letters Flashcards Lower Case Letters I like how it can quickly show on 1 A4 page where the student is at and where you can focus on for future learning. Pages can be kept for teacher reference, stuck in students books or assessment portfolios. Hope you enjoy this resource!

Hey hey! Is it anyone else's first day of SPRING BREAK??? I'm so excited and ready for much needed R&R but first I wanted to recap my week. I know school may be the last thing on your mind right now but I hope you can use some of these ideas when you go back to school! 1. ST. PATRICK'S DAY COUNT/ADD & FILL I had lots of St. Patrick's Day activities I had made from last year (you can see those here) but making centres is one of my favourite things about teaching, so I couldn't resist making a few more! At this centre, students are invited to look at the pots and either read the numeral or addition sentence. Then put that many shamrocks, pom poms or beads in the pot with the tweezers! Fine motor, 1:1 correspondance and number ID/addition practice all rolled into one! 2. ST. PATRICK'S DAY INVITATION TO ADD/SUBTRACT We are focusing on addition and subtraction right now in math so I set out this invitation to show math with loose parts. Students were invited to make number sentences (addition or subtraction) but were free too show other types of math as well (e.g. patterning, creating sets etc.) The first day I set this out it was crickets... but then I moved it to a different table and the next few days so many kids went there and showed me some great mathematical thinking! Sometime's all a centre needs is a fresh location ;) 3. NAME, COLOUR & CUT 2D SHAPES I saw this on @everythingfdk's Instagram and knew I had to try it! This was a HUGE hit. So many of my kiddos need fine motor practice/scissors skills and some still need some shape ID practice as well. This centre allows them to work on all of these skills! We had this centre out every day since last Friday and the table has been full consistently all week! At first we had circle, triangle, square, heart, star and hexagon but after a few days also added rectangle, diamond, pentagon, trapezoid, moon and octagon. This centre also gave them an opportunity to talk about which shapes were easier/harder to cut which led to comparing attributes (e.g. the curves are harder to cut then the straight lines. Squares are easy to cut because they only have straight lines.) If you would like a copy of these cutting cards you can click on the image below to download them for free! 4. ADDITION PLAY DOUGH As mentioned above we have been focusing on addition and subtraction so we have been rotating through some addition and subtraction centres! I love these cards because it helps the kids practice so many skills (fine motor, 1:1 correspondance, numeral identification) in addition to the addition (does that make sense? lol). My kiddos love anything with play dough so they loved these! If you are interested in these addition play dough cards they are included in my addition pack on TpT. If you already own the pack I recently added 41 new pages to it! Click here or on the image below to redownload it to get the updates for free! 5. ADDITION ZIPLOCK NUMBER LINE I saw this post by Hefty on Facebook and thought these number line bags were such a great idea! I made them and set them out with some addition flashcards. I also added a recording sheet to the centre to support the kids who wanted to record their work. I love this recording sheet because you can add it to any centre! They are included in my addition pack on TpT as well. I'm linking this post up with Kacey at Doodle Bugs Teaching for her Five for Friday link-up. You can check out more Five for Friday posts by clicking on the image below: That's it from me this week! I hope you have a great weekend and if you are on spring break as well a great spring break! - Yukari SaveSaveSaveSaveSaveSave
This worksheet is great for working with shapes and for learning to graph and record data.

Howdy! I'm officially on spring break and it came at the perfect time. Here in good ol' Kansas this week we will be having highs in the 70's...pefect flip-flop weather! Winning!!!! So...this afternoon I have to trudge down to my basement and find all my spring and summer clothes and so the switching out of the winner clothes begins. :) We are getting ready to begin a unit on shapes which is why I made this book for my kiddos to work on during math workshop. The shapes included in the book are a cone, cube, sphere, cylinder, rectangular prism, and pryamid. They cut out the shapes and paste them on the correct page. Then they write a sentence about the shape. This file is for sale in my TpT shop for here. These are super easy and fast to make. I copy the pages front-to-back and set the copier to staple twice on the left side. Then I can cut them in half with the paper cutter and the booklets will already be stapled and put together! This book goes perfectly with my 3-D Shapes Poster Pack...check it out here! I left my jump drive at school, but luckily its open all week so I'm going to swing by tomorrow and get it so I can share a freebie with you all tomorrow! It's a worksheet to review edges, faces, and vertices of 3-D shapes. \

Are you interested in using rekenreks with your students, but you’re not sure how? A few years ago, I was in the same boat. I had been to a math training that used rekereks and I couldn’t wait to use them in my classroom. I made a class set out of cardboard and proudly brought them to school. Except I had no idea what to do with them! I had learned a game or two, but needed guidance with how to teach my students about them. In this post, I’ll show

Last week's second grade art lesson was all about shape. Facts about shapes: they are flat, they are made from "closed" lines, some have names (triangle, square, circle). Shapes that have names are called geometric. Shapes that don't have names are called organic or irregular shapes. Then I introduced the kids to Piet Mondrian, Dutch
