We're All About Those Ten-Frames, Those Ten-Frames, No Trouble!

 

YIKES! I'm embarrassed shocked to see the date on my last post.
Luckily, I have a wedding to blame. My two months ago wedding. :) Now back to reality and back on track.

Ten-Frames.
Love them? Hate them? Well...hopefully my freebies in this post will help encourage you to use them.
I will be honest, in past years...I didn't use ten-frames as much as I should have. In the beginning of this year, my kindergarten team decided to focus on a year-long goal to have our kiddos fluently reading and using ten-frames. And so the creations began. Cue bingo dotters...

                              I picked these up at Spend Way More Than a Dollar Because I Found So Many Good Things Tree. Love that place!
If you don't have these you have to pick some up. I use them a LOT. My students beg for them and I mean BEG. Anyways... if you don't already own a couple yourself, you can still use the following activities with crayons, markers, put it in a sheet protector and give students a dry-erase marker, etc. The possibilities are endless. Click here to grab it!
The following recording sheets come in 4 different versions. Numbers 1-5, 6-10, 11-15, and 16-20.
                                      
Each recording sheets comes with the following flashcards to accompany each sheet.
  I laminated my flashcards and they have lasted all year. You flash each card to students in a random order and they dot the correct number on the recording sheet. I have seen my students extend this activity on their own in many ways:).

FREEBIE NUMBER TWO...What? Click here to grab it.
This is a ten-frame goodie I just created. You will need two dice and two different colored crayons. But this template can be used OVER and OVER.

                           

Ok. I'm exhausted already:). I better start building up my blogging stamina again. More to come in the next week. (I hope!)

CVC words, oh how I love thee...

I am guilty. I have totally neglected blogging lately. I thought I would blame it on school wedding planning friends coming to visit LIFE...and so to make up for this MIA business. I have planned a FUN week full of posts and freebies!

As we near the end of October, the kiddos in KC have been working on onset and rime and FINALLY...we are ready for some real CVC practice. I don't know if you will agree, but I just love working with CVC words. It might be the huge grins of confidence that reading and spelling CVC words provides my students. Yeah, I think that is it!
I have some cute, quick, and easy CVC practice to share this week.
I have a fun FREEBIE planned Monday-Thursday this week. Check back each night! Yes! Four freebies!!

Do you have some bingo dotters you have been dying to use? Have you just been waiting to break out some paint? Are you wanting to practice some quick CVC fluency in your small groups?
TADA! Click here to scoop it up!

Although, it is only October, I feel like my class has matured like crazy! Here are some fun things that they have REALLY been enjoying lately:
1.SCOOT... We cannot get enough SCOOT. If you haven't played SCOOT, you need to! We play in all subjects and they love watching themselves gain fluency with completing each task card! (I definitely have a bunch of SCOOTs in my TpT store if you are looking to try some!)

2. Write the Room
They BEG to complete these activities! I have a huge pack in my store, but this picture is of a very SIMPLE one perfect for the beginning of the year. AND it is a freebie in my store:)

3. SWAT a Word! Look at those fly swatters. Who wouldn't love that?! They have been working on the letter identification version but next week I can pull out the CVC version!

 Thanks for stopping by!
Don't forget to come back for more CVC fun this week!
