Tutoring Tuesdays - September 11th, 2018

Happy Tuesday! I hope those who finally started back with their kiddos had a great first week of school! Today is a sad day in our history. I know many of you remember 9/11. Prayers to all the family members of those whose who lost a loved one on that very sad day.

We started off tutoring by counting dollars and coins using my Counting Dollars and Coins Task Cards. This is also available in a huge bundle! I had her write the amount using the dollar sign and decimal point on a white board. If you would prefer there is a recording sheet that they can write the answers on. I put it with a game board as always, which doesn't come with the cards, but any game board would work!

Next we worked on drawing hands on a clock to the 5 minutes. I wrote the digital time and she drew the hands on the clock. The clocks are available from Graphics from the Pond.

We finished tutoring reviewing rounding to the ten's place using my Fall Zombies Rounding to the Ten's Place Task Cards. Students who land on a Zombie get chased back to start! It also comes with a recording sheet and answer key if you prefer to use them to play Scoot or hold them accountable at a center!

As always thank you for hoppin' by Hopkins' Hoppin' Happenings! Keep on smiling!

Happy November! I bet those of you up north are enjoying the colorful leaves. Here in FL leaves don't change colors. My oak trees don't even lose their leaves until February.

Last week, I worked with the 2nd grader on some grammar that she was having some difficulty with in school. I understand why as even when I taught for many years we had such little time to teach grammar that we had to fly through it.

We started working on identifying nouns in a sentence using my Nouns Task Cards. We put it with my ghost game board to make it more fun. Land on a ghost go back to start. The game board can be purchased with my Ghost Sight Word Race. There are 24 cards in all and includes a recording sheet and answer key. Some have one noun and others have multiple nouns.

Next we worked on identifying the proper nouns in a sentence and correcting them by capitalizing it using my Proper Nouns Task Cards. This one I put with my Frankenstein game board. If you land on Frankenstein go back to start. The game board can be purchased with my Frankenstein Sight Word Race. There are 24 cards in all and includes a recording sheet and answer key. I had her correct them on a white board rather than use the recording sheet.

We finished by working on picking the correctly spelled plural noun in parentheses using my Plural Nouns Task Cards. I let her pick a game board and she picked the Zombies game board. That can be purchased with my Zombies Comparing Numbers to 1,000 Task Cards. The Plural Nouns Task Cards comes with 24 cards and includes a recording sheet and answer key. I laminated these cards and had her circle the correct plural noun.

As always thanks for hoppin' by Hopkins' Hoppin' Happenings! Keep on smiling!

Tutoring Tuesdays - October 31st, 2017

Happy Halloween to those that do Halloween activities. I always love seeing the kids dressed up in their cute, scary, and funny costumes. I would love to see what you or your children dress up as. Feel free to post the pictures on my Facebook page. Please no students in your class unless you have parent permission to post them on social media.

I started off tutoring last Wednesday adding 2 digit numbers 3 times using my Vampire 2 Digit Addition with 3 Addends With Regrouping Task Cards. This set comes with a game board that you can use if you wish. If you laminate them there is plenty of room to write on the cards. Land on a vampire you get chased back to start.

Then we worked on comparing numbers to 1,000 with my Zombie Comparing Numbers to 1,000 Task Cards. This one if you laminate it, students will be able to write the greater than, less than, or equal to symbol on the circle. Otherwise, use the recording sheet. We used the fun game board that comes with it. Watch out for the zombies they will chase your student back to start.

Thank you for hoppin' by Hopkins' Hoppin' Happenings! Keep on smiling!
