Tutoring Tuesdays - December 26th, 2017

I hope those that celebrate Christmas had a wonderful Christmas!

I won't be tutoring the next two weeks while the wonderful 2nd grader enjoys her vacation, but be sure to hop back to my blog this Thursday and January 1st for some awesome deals!

One thing she has had some difficulty with in school is counting by 1's from a given number to 1,000 and counting backwards from that number so I created these Numbers to 1,000 Bug in my Marshmallow Before/After Numbers to 1,000 Task Cards. I didn't think it was possible to write on them even if laminated as I had to make the spaces small to create this center. Well the 2nd grader showed me it is possible if you write really small. Otherwise, they can tell their partner the answer, write it on a white board (which we started doing) or write it on the included recording sheet. Since Christmas was near I used my Reindeer game board with it, but it comes with the game board pictured with bugs in the marshmallows. Land on a bug go back to start! So much fun! I will be working more with her on this skill especially where she has to write what comes next after 199, 299, 399, etc. and counting backwards from 200, 300, or a ten like in 230, 280, etc. Those were the tricky ones for her. She will get it though with more practice!

After playing this one I worked on groups of a fourth with her using these Snowmen Fractions of a Group Task Cards. She circles how many are in the group and then tells me the answer. If your students have trouble I suggest using manipulatives and 4 cups and have them divide them into 4 cups. Target has cute snowmen your students would love in their dollar section.

We finished with answering questions on a graph that I found on TPT. Another skill she's been working on.

Tutoring Tuesdays - October 10th, 2017

We moved tutoring to Wednesdays which gives me even more time to get this blog post up. Check out the fun games I did with the superstar 2nd grader that I tutor.

The first thing I did was review before, after, and between numbers to 120 using my Bats Before, After, and Between Numbers Task Cards. I put them with the Bats game board that goes with my Bats Sight Word Race game. Land on an owl go back to start as it eats the bat but land on a bat you get to go again. These cards can also be used to play Scoot, Quiz, Quiz Trade, etc. They come with a recording sheet and answer key. Click on the picture to grab the task cards (without the game board).

Next we worked on ordering numbers to 1,000 least to greatest, but they can also be used greatest to least. We used my Fall Greatest or Least to 1,000 Task Cards and the game board that goes with it. The game board has spots that tell children to go back to start or go again. Click on the picture to grab the task cards with the game board.

We ended tutoring with my 3 Digit Addition Regrouping Task Cards and put it with my Spider game board which can be found on my Spider Sight Word Fluency Phrases Race teaching resource. Children who land on a spider have to go back to start. These cards are great for Scoot. A recording sheet and answer key are included. There is enough room to actually write on the cards. I always give her a dry erase marker and have her solve it right on the card. Click on the picture to grab the task cards (without the game board).

Spring Linky Party

I can't believe that spring will be here on March 20th, the day before my birthday! I'll be 37 years old. I'll be tutoring on my birthday for an amazing child. I found out I went to elementary school with her dad!

Anyway, here are some new spring products that I have created. Click the picture to check them out. You can also check out other spring free and paid products, music, and ideas in the linky party below.

Cut along the lines of my CVC Easter Eggs to create puzzles for your students. Perfect for an easy word work phonics center. R-Controlled Vowels and Vowel Pairs are also currently available. If you need another skill contact me.

Easter After Numbers Race is a fun game that gives the students two numbers and then they must name what number comes next. They roll one die or the fun bunny spinner and move that many spaces. If they land on a snake they go back to start, but if they land on a chick they get to go again. The cards can also be used as task cards.

Clip It Math Spring Kindergarten has addition and subtraction to 10, counting 0 to 20, and after numbers to 20.

My favorite spring video has to be "Spring Is Here" by The Learning Station. Your children will learn all about animals in spring and will also enjoy the wonderful animation and movements for this song. Perfect brain break that ties into Science.


Those who have teaching ideas, products free or paid, and music may link up as many as you want below as long as it has to do with spring.

Easter CVC Activity and Common Core Dolphins!

I have created some more fun activities that I hope your students will really enjoy!  First off Easter is coming this Sunday so I wanted to make another fun activity that the younger bunch can enjoy.  This one is a fun CVC sort where the child helps the rabbit find his eggs!  Click the picture to check out the fun activity!

My "Between Numbers" Dolphin Matching game is a pretty good success so I have since made a Dolphin Game on After Numbers to 120.  This fits the Common Core Standards for 1st grade!  Example the child would find the number that comes 39 _____.

In my store I also have a lot of freebies, great Easter products, and other sea life materials.  Check them out!  As always fellow teachers I sub with, parents, and students get my items for free. tigermagic@bellsouth.net
