Tutoring Tuesdays - October 3rd, 2017

Wow, it is already Fall/Autumn! It has been awhile since I last posted for tutoring Tuesdays because I didn't tutor for 3 weeks. I last tutored last Thursday so this post will be about that. I also was without power a couple of days due to Hurricane Irma and then had to get my computer fixed to turn on. It's been an adventure but I am same and unharmed. We did not get hurricane winds here on the space coast in Florida. Thank goodness it went west. I still had some damage to the roof and fence, but it sure could have been worse.

Anyway, back on topic I had a great time tutoring the superstar 2nd grader! She is such a smart cookie. We started working on reviewing missing number equations by filling in the missing addend using my Scarecrows Missing Number Equations Task Cards. These can be used as traditional task cards for Scoot or any other cooperative group game or placed at a center. I put it with my Scarecrow Sight Word board game that you get with the sight word race game. Land on a crow go back to start, but land on a scarecrow you get to go again.

Next we worked on place value to 1,000 using my Fall Monsters Place Value to 1,000 Task Cards which includes the board game. In this game children pick a card and read to see if they need to tell what number is in the ones, tens, or hundreds place. Then they roll one dice or a spinner and move that many spaces. Watch out for the monster as it will send you back to start! A recording sheet and answer key are included if you would prefer to use it for Scoot, Quiz, Quiz Trade, etc. Click the picture if you would like to use the task cards with your students!

Next we used a Bump game from my Subtraction Fluency Bump Games to practice 9 facts. I taught her to add the two digit together in the 2 digit number to be able to subtract 9 quickly. So if it is 14-9 add 1+4 to get 5 for the answer 14-9=5. She picked that up really quick! Click the picture if you would like to use the task cards with your students!

We ended with my Counting Coins Task Cards. I put it with my Community Helpers Sight Word Race game board. If you land on a community helper you have to go back to start. The money task cards come with a recording sheet and an answer key so you can use it for Scoot or any other cooperative group activity or for early finishers.

Fun With Penguins

One of my favorite topics to teach about each year is penguins.

I always read a lot of fun books on penguins both fiction and nonfiction.  The Tacky The Penguin series of books was a huge favorite among my past 2nd graders. For nonfiction Penguins by Gail Gibbons has always been a huge favorite among both my 2nd graders and Kindergarten students  Her books are also excellent to teach labeling and nonfiction text features.

I also am a big fan of using music in the classroom.  The Learning Station just released two versions of Penguin song.  One is animated and the other one is a live version.  Both have the motions to go with the songs making them excellent brain breaks! Let us know in the comments, which penguin video is your favorite!




For some reason the 2nd video won't show up so click HERE to see the animation video for The Penguin Song.

I also love taking them on a virtual field trip to Sea World to see the penguins live!  Check it out by clicking HERE.  Your students will love it as well so I hope you take the time to watch both of them!

I also have some fun new Penguin products that can be placed at a centers.  Check out my Penguin Multiplication Blast game that has a fun addition twist to it by clicking on any of the pictures and my fun Penguin Missing Number Equations Task Cards!  The cute graphics are from Mel at Graphics From The Pond.
