A Shout Out To Oceans of First Grade Fun and . . . a FREEBIE!!
By
Easter Monsters Love To Race
Last summer when the Debbie Diller book study was the place to be, Oceans of First Grade Fun’s, Yoland made this great game for working with 10s and 1s called Race to 50. I loved the game, but knew that it would be a bit difficult for my kindergarten students starting out.
So I contacted Yolanda to see if she might be willing to allow me to revamp her game and offer it up to all of you as a freebie for your own students as she so graciously did last summer. I have to tell you, she is sooooo nice and, of course she said yes! (Thanks Yolanda!)
So here it is. I altered it to meet my students level of readiness where they are now rather than trying to give them something that would be too frustrating and difficult.
It is tiered to meet my students just beginning to work with 10s and 1s (Race to 30) and there are two other levels (Race to 50 and Race to 100) for students who need more of a challenge. I do hope that if you find it useful you will give me a shout out.
You can grab this freebie by heading over to my TpT store or by clicking here or on the game’s picture above.
While you’re at my store, check out my new items for Easter I just listed. I’m a little nervous. These are the first two products I’ve actually put out there for people to purchase. Of course, they are tiered to meet the readiness levels of all your learners.
The first product is a differentiated nonsense word/cvc/ccvc/cvcc activity.
And the other is an activity to get your kinesthetic learners up and moving while they write the room with this subtraction activity.
I sure would love to hear any of your feedback on them.
With more than 20 years of teaching experience, it is my pleasure to bring you my most favorite ideas and activities to keep young learners engaged and loving learning.
Thanks for stopping by my blog! I am now following you and rated your newest game. I have no doubt the kiddos will enjoy that one. I am also now following you on TPT. 🙂 Brian http://hopkinshoppinblog.blogspot.com/
With nearly 20 years of experience as a full-time kindergarten teacher, I’m committed to creating a classroom where learning is joyful, engaging, challenging, and fun. Each day, I work to ensure that my students feel successful through instruction that considers their unique interests, learning profiles, and readiness levels. I believe that students should be excited to come to class and enjoy a myriad of hands-on activities that encourage exploration and discovery.
While I continue to teach full-time, I find so much joy in connecting and building friendships with teachers worldwide. It’s why I started this blog back in 2012. My hope has become a reality as I have been able to forge relationships with teachers, sharing ideas and building friendships beyond my little neck of the woods through professional development sessions and this blog.
So by all means, take some time to look around and explore A Differentiated Kindergarten. Gather some new ideas, fun tips, and most importantly, don’t forget to reach out and say, ‘Hi!’
