Pre-Primer Sight Word Scrambled PowerPoint & Google Slides

Image
I realize I am slow on the ball when it comes to creating activities that incorporate technology such as powerpoints or google slides in my classroom.  However, when I create activities I take my time and really think how a specific activity would be useful in my classroom.   My students love trying to figure out scrambled sight words so that's what I have chosen to create for my centres this upcoming year but committing to trying to use less paper in my classroom.  I can do this by creating PowerPoints and/or Google slides with the scrambled words for the students to look at and just have recording sheets.   So I have created a new Pre-Primer Sight Word Scrambled PowerPoint & Google slides Activity.   You can find this activity in my TPT store at the following link: Pre-Primer Sight Word Scrambled PowerPoint & Google Slides Activity I will be making the same activities for Primer, Gr. 1 and Gr. 2 Dolch list.  Thos

Updated Book Buddy Package

Image
I am currently going through my TPT products and seeing which ones I can update using Google Suite for Education.  I came across my Book Buddy package and was actually excited to update this one.  I took all the assessments sheets in this package and put them into Google Forms and some Google Slides. I'm excited to create a Google Classroom this upcoming year for my Book Buddies and have the older students use these forms with my little primaries.   You can find my Book Buddy Package in my TPT store at the following link: Book Buddy Package Enjoy!

New Booklets for Zero the Hero Packages

Image
Hi everyone, I have created an additional booklet to go with my Zero the Hero packages. There is a type of pattern to the booklets in that each activity the students do are almost the same but showing an additional 10.  I created it like Zero the Hero was talking with the kids through the words in the booklets and tried to make it rhyme just for fun.  These booklets are something the students can take home to show their parents what they know about zero and place value and number sense. You can find the new booklets in my TPT store at the following links: Zero the Hero 10th Day  Zero the Hero 20th Day Zero the Hero 30th Day Zero the Hero 40th Day Zero the Hero 50th Day Zero the Hero 60th Day Zero the Hero 70th Day Zero the Hero 80th Day Zero the Hero 90th Day Zero the Hero 100th Day And if you wish to purchase all the videos, activities and the booklets, go to Zero the Hero 10th-100th Day Videos Package Enjoy!

Roll Combinations (numbers 5-10) Game app

Image
I am so excited for a few reasons!  Reason 1 - school year is done and it's summer vacation...I get to have a little breather/break.  Reason 2 - I have just finished creating my fourth Android app and can't wait to use it in my class next year! This app is based on a math activity I do with my students once we get to adding combinations of 5 in the classroom.  I created the following template for two players. Each player takes turns rolling the dice and if they get one of the combinations of 5, they get to cover that combination.  The first player to cover all the combinations wins.  I also make my students state what they have rolled out loud and add it up.  If they don't do that, they loose a turn.  The other player is very keen on getting that extra turn so they are really good at making sure their partner does say the combination rolled.   I have been toying with the idea of how I could make a math app that the kids can use on the tablets.  And the past week,

Dot Plate Memory Games App

Image
Hi everyone, I am loving MIT App Inventor.  I have now created my third app and am excited to share the details with you. Dot Plate Memory Games i s an app that will help boost your students’ memory and practice subitizing at the same time. Memory games can help improve students’ concentration, boost brain functionality, train visual memory, increase short-term memory, help keep focus and increase attention.  Subitizing is being able to instantly recognize how many dots there are in a group.  Subitizing helps students form mental pictures of numbers and realize that a number can be represented in many ways. This is a perfect app for your students to “warm up” their brain before your math lessons or during math centres.  How it works: There are 9 games in total.   Games 1, 2, and 3 focus only on four numbers at one time (easy level).   Games 4 and 5 focus on six numbers at one time (medium level).   Games 6, 7, 8 and 9 focus on eight numbers at one time (hard lev
