Tutoring Tuesdays - May 1st, 2018

Happy Tuesday! Much better Tuesday for me than last week. My dog is okay thankfully. She got her stitches removed last week and the cone as well. Unfortunately she has to have eye drops in her the rest of her life. Be sure to follow my store by simply clicking HERE if you are logged into TPT!

I'm having to use a different browser and it is not letting me link the pictures so click the hyperlinks to check out my products!

We started out reviewing Multiplying by 4 and learning 5's using my Ocean Animals Multiplication Race. This game has all facts up to 12x12! Silly me left the game board at home so I had her pick a game board of her choice. The picture shows the correct game board. Land on a dolphin and you get to go again, but land on a shark and it chases you back to start!

Next we worked on reviewing tally marks to 10 using my FREE Earth Day Tally Marks Clip It cards. If you laminate it you can also have the child circle the answers. If you download this please show your kindness by leaving positive perfect feedback!

Then we worked on division by 4 using my Beach Division Race. These go all the way to 12 facts. I again forgot the game board at home so she picked one. The correct board game is pictured.

We also did some elapsed time to the hour. I just gave her a card with a clock on it and told her to tell me the time if it was an hour later. This is not pictured, but I have many telling time cards HERE.

We finished with just an introduce to rounding dollars using my Ice Cream Monsters Rounding to the Nearest Dollar Task Cards We didn't use the board game that does come with this one due to time, but we'll be doing this one on Wednesday so check back next week to see it in action!

Interactive Student Notebook Numbers to 20 Plus Tips

I have a brand new Interactive Student Notebook for Kindergarten teachers that I am excited to share!!!

First, I wanted to answer a couple of questions that have come up often with my Facebook Fans.  One question that I get often is when should I allow my students to start cutting and gluing.  That answer is simple, NOW!!!  They should be cutting and gluing day 1, yes even in Kindergarten.  Model, model, model, practice, practice, practice.  Most of my activities in my ISNs are easy straight lines to cut.  We all have those students with fine motor issues, you can assign them a buddy who is a fast finisher or help them yourself if they are struggling.

Another question, what do I do if my students take too long cutting and gluing.  I suggest setting a timer.  Children love to beat the clock!  Those that don't finish, don't have time to color and they can put all unfinished pieces in an envelope glued to the back!

My Interactive Student Notebooks sell for just $4.00.  My bundle is only $12.50 and you get Numbers to 5, Numbers to 10, Numbers to 20, and Addition.   Click on the picture below to purchase it on TPT.
