Tutoring Tuesdays - June 26th, 2018

Happy last Tuesday in June! Wow time is flying by! I did not tutor 2 weeks ago, but I did last week and had another terrific session!

I started out tutoring with a new skill for her. We worked on place value in the 1,000's place using my Fireflies Place Value in the 1,000's Task Cards. She was given a number and she had to read the question at the top to see if it wanted the ones, tens, hundreds, or thousands place. She did a fantastic job. If you use the board game like we did if you land on a firefly you get to go again.

Next, I had her work on again putting numbers in the 1,000s place in order using my Books Ordering Numbers in the 1,000's. She did a great job, only missing a couple.

Then I introduced her to ordering fractions from least to greatest. These cards are not for sale, but you can get them from Jason's Online Classroom. He sells them as clip art. First I had her label each fraction. We worked on halves, thirds, and fourths. Then I had her put the halves in order, then the thirds, and last the fourths. She did a fantastic job!

We finished tutoring working on counting dollars and coins with twenty dollar bills. On a white board I had her write the amount using the dollar sign and decimal point. She did a fantastic job especially with counting those twenty dollar bills. I put it with a game board, which is not included with the cards. You can use them with any game board or as traditional task cards. A recording sheet and answer key is available!

Tutoring Tuesdays - February 20th, 2018

Happy Tuesday! You survived Valentine's Day and all the sugar after it! We are just a month away until spring. It already feels like spring here in Florida as we have been in the 80's for a couple of weeks now. I LOVE it!

I tutored on Thursday last week because the 2nd grader was sick on Wednesday. We started out again counting dollars and coins while writing the amount out with the dollar sign and decimal point. We used my Counting Dollars and Coins Task Cards. I again put it with a game board that you can get here. The game board doesn't come with the task cards, but you can use the task cards for Scoot, Quiz Quiz Trade, centers, small groups, etc. There is a list of ideas included with the cards along with an answer key and recording sheet.

After we worked on that skill we worked on Roman Numerals to 30 using my Roman Numerals Clip It Cards. You can have your students clip them or even circle the answer if laminated. They can also be placed on each desk to play Scoot. She did a great job, only missing one. You can check out a picture on my previous blog post!

We then worked on beginning multiplication skills using my Multiplication Equal Groups Groups Task Cards. She circled groups of 2, 3, and 4. The cards also have a few that go to 5 or 6. There are 18 task cards in all.

We finished tutoring practicing multiplying with 0 and 1 using my Presidents Day Multiplication Race. These cards go up to 10X10 and come with the game board included.

Tutoring Tuesdays - February 13th, 2018

Happy Tuesday! Happy Valentine's Day tomorrow for those who celebrate!

First I'd love to let you know that the TPT sale is going on Wednesday and Thursday, February 14th and 15th. Click on the picture to check out my store where even Bundles will be on sale. Bundles are already on sale for 20 to 30% off on a typical day. You'll be saving up to 55% off my bundles during the sale. You truly can't beat that! Be sure to use the code XOXO at checkout.

The 2nd grader was on top of her game as we had time to do several activities and games last week. We started out working on counting dollars and coins while writing it out with the dollar sign and decimal point. We used my Counting Dollars and Coins Task Cards. I put it with a game board like I usually do. The game board is not included with the set. It includes a recording sheet and answer key so you can play Scoot, Quiz, Quiz Trade, etc.

We next worked on Roman Numbers to 13 using my Roman Numerals Clip It Cards. She knew all but number 13!

We then did a quick multiplication game that I bought on TPT from another seller to practice multiplying by 2's. She only missed 2x0 and 2x1. She did terrific!

Next, we worked on telling time to the 5 minutes using my Telling Time to the 5 Minutes Task Cards. I again put it with a game board. We used my new unicorn game board. The game board is not included with this set of task cards, but the cards come with a bunch of suggestions!

Then we worked on mixed number fractions using my Mixed Number Clip It Cards. Here she was given a circle of a fraction, whole number, or mixed number and had to identify it.

We finished tutoring with a few 3 Digit Subtraction Task Cards that you can see in my previous blog post.

Tutoring Tuesdays - January 30th, 2018

Happy Tuesday! The last Tuesday of the month. Where has time gone?

Last Tuesday, we started working on reading a thermometer and telling the temperature if it was 5 degrees higher or lower using a thermometer where that counted by 5's using my Temperature Task Cards. The task cards come with 24 where the student tells the exact temperature and 24 where the student tells the temperature if it was 5 degrees more or less. For tutoring, I put it with my groundhog game board that can be found in many of my groundhog products HERE. The game is not included with these task cards. They can be used to play Scoot, Quiz Quiz Trade, etc.

Next, we worked on counting dollars with my Counting Dollar Bills Task Cards. We worked on counting one dollar bills and then one dollar with five dollar bills. The 24 task cards include bills to $20. I put this one with my Bug in My Marshmallow game that can be found HERE. The game again is not included with the money task cards.

We finished working with 1 more or one less using my print and play game boards from my Valentine's Day One More or One Less Centers. In the game pictured students roll one dice and tell what number comes next. There is another game where they roll one dice and tell what number comes right before. Numbers are between 100 and 1,000. Land on a bunny you get to go again but watch out for the monster as it will send you back to start!
