Spring Subtraction Tips, Tricks & Freebies!

We are working hard on refining our subtraction skills this spring (especially remember the difference between the +/- sign!).  Before we bust out the number line as a subtraction strategy, I want to make sure they really understand that subtraction is taking away.  I've put together some fun freebies for you as well!

My first freebie is a fun twist on using manipulatives to model subtraction!  I'm sure you've seen some variation of subtraction bowling on Pinterest.  I was so excited last year when I ran across this bunny jax set at Walmart!  Oriental Trading also sells a mini-bunny bowling set, which you can check out here.  (The Oriental Trading Set has 10 pins instead of 8; I included recording sheets for both numbers just in case).  We'll be playing this fun game during math stations around Easter.  Click on the picture for your freebie!


My next freebie comes from my Spring Easy Peasy Printables Pack and is great for reinforcing the steps to problem solving!  We've been telling oral addition and subtraction stories, but most of my kinders can read pretty well by themselves now.  Click on the picture for your subtraction story problem practice freebie!


If you're interested in more addition/subtraction stories, you can check out my Spring Easy Peasy Printables pack below.  (And if you download the preview, you can grab another fun freebie!)


Thanks for stopping by!  Don't forget to go back to the linky and check out all the other fun subtraction tips and tricks!

There's No Place Like Space: Outer Space Adventures & Friday Freebie

TGIF!!!  What a week!  I absolutely adored seeing my kiddos learn about space, but this week was a toughie.  Sick and tired kiddos do not make for a happy class.  Everything kept going the wrong way: food spilled on the newly cleaned carpets, bloody noses on the newly cleaned carpets, bathroom accidents during the middle of centers, pink-eye working its' way around the room, forgotten materials at home, the printer at FedEx Office went haywire and messed up my play-doh mats, the copy machine at work broke, I broke the side mirror of my car coming out of the garage... Yikes!  I was seriously scared to leave my house this morning!  :)  So here's hoping the stars re-align this weekend and my class comes back rockin' and rollin' and ready to learn on Monday! With all that being said, it was still a fun and jam-packed week.  I loved overhearing one of my kiddos tell his parent, "Mom, did you know the sun is ACTUALLY a star?!?!"  And I got to...

Food, Health and Hygiene Fun & TWO Friday Freebies!

My first ever parent teacher conferences are over and I survived! They actually went really well. Although, as many of my parents said, I talk to them so much anyways it wasn't like they were hearing anything new. What can I say? I'm so proud of their kiddos and constantly have to let them know about it! :) Our theme this week was all about Food and Health with a little bit of Hygiene. Overall the week went a lot more smoothly than I expected, being that I ran around like a chicken with my head cut off finalising details for conferences, putting together invitations for Pies with Grandparents next week, and trying to pick a holiday song for our class to sing at the Holiday Program because, as the office keeps kindly reminding us, Christmas is JUST AROUND THE CORNER. Makes me exhausted just remembering! Anyways, here's a look at some of the fun art, writing center, dramatic play, math and science stuff we did this week! Art: Vegetable Soup Stamping ...
