Fun in PreK-1 & Kinder

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...

Hello friends and happy Monday!  If you were like me, you just did not want to get out of bed this morning.  (However, if you're also like me you had to get up early to make some last minute copies at school...)  For those of my friends who are more prepared, however, I whipped up these Easter Cookie Lacing Cards over the weekend! Enjoy!  Don't forget to hop on over and check out... I hope everyone has a good week!  Don't forget to enter my Fabulous First 100 Follower Giveaway (click on the picture below!)

Happy Saturday!  :)  I hope everyone got to sleep in late today!  I woke up early to get in some shopping before I took my mom to the spa for a pedicure for Valentine's (it's the only time I can get her to slow down and get off her feet!)  I NEVER want to be stuck like two weeks ago when I found myself scrambling to find cool supplies for Valentine's Day centers because no one had anything left.  Very sad.  So I said to myself, "Never again!" and I went shopping.  I'm trying to consider it as being proactive rather than being a shopaholic.  :) So I went to Dollar Tree first.  Here are some things I found: Easter Grass & Eggs How cool are these carrot eggs?  I can't wait to use them in the sensory table! Easter Bunny Headbands & Flower Table Scatter Yeah, you know we're gonna wear these!  :)  I even got blue bunny ears for the boys and pink bunny ears for the girls.  I'm thinking the kiddos can w...
