Math Freebie, Back to School Sale and a Classroom Store Tour!

I was so excited to see I was picked
to be featured this week on Teaching Blog Addict!
I hope you all can use, if not the actual freebie,
at least the idea! I really appreciate blogs for all
I have learned and gained, and love blogs like
Teaching Blog Addict that take the time to host
these freebie linkys, every single week!

Thank you Fern!!
Thank you to Charity as well for hosting 
Manic Monday every week!

      


I am always on the look out for

easy to put together math games

for centers, groups and partners.

Kidscount1234.com has a fun

Yahtzee game that is great for the

beginning of 1st grade. However, I 

wanted more of a challenge for 

the rest of the year, so I 

created a couple versions!

In these versions, you will need

Dice in Dice and 10-sided Dice in Dice!

I did receive permission from 
Shari Sloane from Kidscount1234
to use her idea and expand on it!

to my store!

Classroom Store

The top two shelves are items in my store.

I have items found at garage sales, at Dollar

Stores, on clearance and thrift stores. 

I also use Scholastic points to buy books and

occasionally parents will donate items.

The thrift store in my town donates items

to teachers for free. Check out this post to

see what I got for free last time I visited them!

Items currently in my baskets:

All the wonderful things from above post,

stuffed animals, Hot Wheels cars, giant pens 

(on clearance from Dollar General for 10 cents each!!),

notepads, books, wallets,.

I also have a hanging shoe organizer

that houses all the little store items such

as pencils, erasers, highlighters, bouncy balls, 

bracelets, rings, etc. It hangs on the back of

my closet door and I bring it out and hang it

on my classroom door (which is to the left of 

this cabinet) during store time.

I pay students $1 for each spelling homework

they return to school.  They keep their money in

wallets they bring from home or purchase in my store. 

(I buy these at garage sales and get them 

at the thrift stores)

They keep their wallets in their desks.

The above post also shows what we use to

keep track of their earnings!

(And it is a freebie download!)

Twice a month we go shopping during math time!

It is great practice for adding and subtracting as

well as FUN!

Thanks for stopping by!
