Animals, Biomes, and HOLIDAYS..OH MY!

animals biomes Featured Blog

  Hi Friends…I don’t know about you….but BOY OH BOY…I am super busy!  I truly need at least another 10 hours in EACH day in order to accomplish everything that needs to be done!  

Unfortunately, I don’t get an extra 10 hours…so some things have to go to the wayside..sadsville 🙁

    But, I did want to share with you some of my newest units that I have created recently just in case you were looking for something new to do with you little ones 🙂

    I just finished my Biomes of the World Flip Flap Book Bundle which as 6 flip flap books in it that touch on 6 different land biomes.  I focused on The Forest, The Tundra, The Taiga, The Grassland, The Desert and The Rainforest.  Each flip flap book allows for the students to research the Biome’s weather, temerature, plant/tree life, and animal life and organize their facts.  I even included Map Skills in each flip flap book.   Here is a picture of each of the books.  If you click the picture, it will take you to my Blog shop if you want to pick it up 🙂

In addition to my flip flap books, I LOVE to use Guided Readers Nonfiction Books in my classroom as well! They are available digitally and in printable form in addition to lesson plans accompanied with each book! It has been a true life saver for me and it keeps my students engaged throughout their designated reading time! Check them out below and CLICK HERE to get your very own FREE virtual bookshelf on Guided Readers!

    Here is another unit that I have had sooooooo many requests for and it is finally done and uploaded!  These flip flap books are to write about the different animal group classifications.  It allows for the students to research the different animals in that group to practice their expository writing.

I am SOOOOOO excited about this one!  I have wanted to create a Holidays Around the Tab-Its® Book and Travel Brochures forever and I just finished it up last night.  This unit has a bit of a twist in it because I added tri-fold Travel Brochures for each country that the children will travel to.  This will help with their writing for each country.  

  It is is adorbs!!!!  I am so excited to create it with my little ones! Check this resource out below!

Once again, I pair this resource with engaging and diverse books from my virtual bookshelf on Guided Readers! Check out these titles on Guided Readers by CLICKING HERE!

So…now that you are updated on some of my latest creations, I wanted to just share a freebie with you that I have been using in my class.  We are working on double-digit and triple digit addition with and without regrouping for the past couple of weeks.  In my district, our math program is called Primary Mathematics which is Singapore Math.  This program expects children to have a very strong understanding of numbers and numeracy.  We teach addition using decomposition of numbers.  I have attached a few printables that I use with my class when I am teaching this skill. Below are some pictures of what this resources looks like and what it includes!!

SO many resources are included in each unit which helps diversify my math stations and consistently keeps my materials fresh!

There are 6 adorable penguin math stations/centers included in this Fun Holiday Math resource:

  • Penguin Lineup
  • Penguin & Ice Block Number Bonds
  • What’s my Value Penguin?
  • Odd & Even Penguin
  • Penguin Number Bond Fact Families
  • Adding Penguins 

When I am in my Guided Math group rotations, I always have activities in my math stations that are directly related to the skills we are working on in class.  

They are working on my Penguin Math Stations now!!!  If you are interested in checking these out, click the image below…

Before you go…Here are a couple of my other units that I have created in the last few month…just in case your interested 🙂

Hugs,
