Adding and Subtracting Money using a Menu

This activity is one of my best sellers and also a student FAVORITE!  I created a menu that I glued on to construction paper and laminated. I used them every year. The document is 9 pages and includes the menu and worksheets for adding and subtracting money. Students pretend they are a waiter or waitress and take orders from each other in order to add and subtract money.

August Already??

Wow, how is it already August?  I am a few days late with linking up with Currently, but I've been super busy.  As I mentioned before, I am switching counties and starting at a new school teaching 4th grade.  I am very excited about the change, but anxious as well.  I also just moved this week.  So regardless to say, I've been extremely busy. 

 

Don't forget to link up with Farley's Currently for August.

 

 

Telling Time Interactive Whiteboard Activity

 

Once again, I am linking up with Classroom Freebies for Maniac Mondays.  My freebie this week is an interactive whiteboard activity.  This is a 25 slide interactive whiteboard activity on telling time. Students will find the time and explore elapsed time with this activity. It was made through Mimio so it is an INK file, but will work on any interactive software.

DIY Jewelry Holder

Here is my take on the DIY Jewelry Holder.  I made the top one and my sister made the bottom one.  It was fun and easy to make. 
 

 Materials:

*  11-inch-by-14-inch shadow box

*  Craft knife or scissors

*  Wallpaper remnant

*  All-purpose glue

*  Drill

*  Screw hooks

How-To:

1. Remove the glass from the shadow box. Cut a wallpaper remnant to fit the back of the box, and adhere with glue.
2. Create a layout of hooks. Drill holes for screw hooks in the backing. Insert hooks.
3. Hang shadow box on wall using attached hardware.

 
Now back to school…

I created a fun Place Value Game for my students to practice and reinforce this skill. Students will match up the standard, expanded, and word form for numbers up to the hundreds place. The theme is very cute and my students LOVE playing this game.

 

I sell this item for $2.00 on my TpT store but because I’m so thankful that you’re following my blog, you can have it here for free.

A Monday Freebie!

I've got the Monday Blues :)  After a long, wonderful winter break and a short week last week, I definitely woke up with the Monday Blues today.  I'm ready to get back into the swing of things and start a fresh new year with my little ones.

 

I'm joining Charity over at the Classroom Freebies Blog to share a fun activity for adding and subtracting money using a menu.  I created a menu that I glued on to construction paper and laminated. I use them every year and my students LOVE it. The document is 9 pages and includes the menu and worksheets for adding and subtracting money. Students pretend they are a waiter or waitress and take orders from eachother in order to add and subtract money. My students love getting to play "waiter" or "waitress" and choose what they want to order.   Click on the link below for your free copy.  Enjoy!
