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!

    Classroom Freebies Manic Monday





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)

( a freebie by Mr. Elementary Math)

alphabet flash cards for the students to put
in abc order (a freebie from Jolanthe Erb)






I have these neat task cards on my wishlist! 

Task Cards for Math: School Theme {First Grade CCSS}

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!
