Tutoring Tuesdays - May 9th, 2017

Before I get to my tutoring fun from last Thursday, don't forget Teachers Pay Teachers and Teacher's Notebook both have sitewide sales going on for Teacher Appreciation Week. Find out more about that in my blog post HERE.

Last Thursday, I worked with the 1st grader on Adding and Subtracting with 3 Number Equations. I laminated the cards so she could write the answer right on the cards to make it more fun. I put them with a fun game board that comes with my sight word and sight word fluency games. The cards without the game board are FREE!!! Did I say FREE? Yup! I appreciate you!

Silly me planned to work on more 2 digit addition regrouping with an Earth Day theme (as I didn't tutor last week), but I printed out the Subtraction ones instead. Oops! So we worked more with the Part Part Whole to 20 Love Bugs Task Cards. We worked on the last half of the cards that had the missing part that she had to solve. She used a dry erase marker to solve the equations. I put these with the Earth Day game board. That game board can be found with my 2 digit Addition, 2 Digit Subtraction, Multiplication, Sight Words, or Fluency Phrase Sight Word Race.

Next we worked on some Review 1st Grade Task Cards that include many skills I have worked with her on this school year. These skills include addition to 12, subtraction to 10, time to the 5 minutes, counting coins including quarters, identifying 10's and 1's, and least to greatest. There are more skills included in the set that we will work on this coming Thursday. I put these task cards with a Karate game board (she does Karate twice a week). Land on a Karate kid you get to go again. The game board is with my sight word and R Controlled Vowel Race games.

Tutoring Tuesdays - April 25th, 2017

Last Tuesday, I continued to work on 2 digit regrouping by 2 digit with the 1st grader that I tutor. I found out at her birthday party that she loves Robots! So we played a board game with the Robot 2 Digit Addition Regrouping Task Cards that I recently created. If a student lands on a robot they get to go again because the Robot helps them do their work. I have included a recording sheet if you want to keep your students accountable or to play Scoot, Quiz, Quiz trade, etc. Click on either picture to grab it! I also have subtraction, sight words, and fluency phrases available.

I didn't show this video in tutoring as we don't do YouTube videos but I thought I'd keep with the Robot theme and share The Learning Station's video "Dancing Robots". Such a fun brain break your students will certainly love!!!


After we played that game we worked on these fun Part Part Whole to 20 Love Bug Task Cards. Students add the two parts together to make a whole! Click on either of the pictures of the hyperlink to grab it.

I put this with my spring game board that comes with my Spring Sight Word Race game to make it more fun. Land on a bee you got stung go back to start, but land on a child with a net the child caught the bee and you get to go again. With the task cards, the game board is not currently in the set but I have included a recording sheet and answer key for you to use for Scoot, Quiz, Quiz trade at centers, stations, rotations, RTI, small groups, etc. This set also includes one of the parts missing with the whole being given. Your students have to find the missing part. We may work on that this Thursday if we have time. There are 36 cards!

The Love Bugs Part Part Whole are also currently available with numbers to 10, multiplication, and even contractions!
