Fast Finisher Files

Here is something new I am trying

this year. I had several "fast finishers"

last year and I scrambled to find things,

besides read a book, for them to do.

I created this chart with cards.

I will display 2 or so choices a day that 

the students can pick from if they finish

an assignment early.  

I also made a guided reading chart 

(trying for the first time 

this year too) and two hand signal signs.

It is for sale in my TPT store.

I created two fast finisher tub

cards in the above products.

Fast Finisher Tub #1 (zebra basket), will

contain these fast finisher folders.

This product contains 30 labels

to glue to clasp envelopes.

I laminated the envelopes, 

(open of course), cut a slit in the

opening, added Velcro dots to keep

them closed and have begun adding

different activities.

the Freebie!

    

Some of the activities I have

put in so far are cards from

a Highlights Buzz Blast game

(which is too loud for my classroom,

but the cards are perfect for the folders)

 sets of number sense dominoes

( a freebie by Mr. Elementary Math)

alphabet flash cards for the students to put

in abc order (a freebie from Jolanthe Erb)

My Top Ten Lists

I have these neat task cards on my wishlist! 

They are from More Than Math by Moe.

These cards are for the beginning of 1st

and she is making more for the rest of the year!

I will put these in Fast Finisher folders as well.

They will either keep the recording sheet in their 

math folders for writing down the answers or

I will include dry erase markers so they can

just write the answers on the cards.

I put in 4 Buzz Blast cards in folders 1-5.

I put in 1 set of dominoes in each folder 6-10.

I put a set of the alphabet flashcards in 

each folder 11-15.

I put my Top Ten lists in folders 16 and 17,

five lists in each.

Fast finisher tub #2 will contain several

activities. One will be this product I created.

The 64 color coded math activity cards included 

are all 1st grade common core aligned!

There are also color coded dividers, labels

for your index holders/recipe boxes and

a "cookbook" to record their names when

they complete the activities.

Throw in a 2 minute sand timer

 and chef hat for extra fun!

It is for sale in my TPT store.
