Addition Quiz Review Game

 Addition practice PowerPoint game. Just posted to my TpT store! It can be found here! 
 I made this for my class as a review for their chapter 1 math test on addition. There are two ways you can play this game.  
Version 1- I split the class into 2 teams. The first student on each team gets a whiteboard.  (I choose who goes first by drawing sticks.) Once the answers are shared, the rest of the class gives a thumbs up to agree or thumbs down to disagree with their team's answer. The team with the most points wins. 

Version 2- The same procedure for choosing who goes first. Have all of the kids work out the answer on their whiteboards. Ask for answers from Team 1 and count the correct answers. Then ask for answers from Team 2. Whichever team has the most correct answers will win the point. 

Classroom Library Labels

I created these classroom library labels that can be easily moved and reattached without leaving a sticky residue. I used Scotch Restickable Dots to adhere them. This is my class library with some of the labels attached. Since I teach first grade, yes, some of the books are misplaced in the wrong genres. ;)

Tattle or Report Task Cards

Has tattling been a problem in your classroom? I'm betting on yes! It has been an issue in my first grade classroom for years. So...I decided to create a lesson on tattling and reporting. Each task card has a "situation" on it. I had my students stand in the middle of the classroom, and we made a four corners game out of it. Or- a two corners game rather! The kids loved it! I'm not saying this just because I created it, but IT WORKS! This is version 1. You can find it here https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Mindset-Notes-Encourage-a-Growth-Mindset-2052515
I am currently working on a version 2. Now you may be thinking, "this one lesson worked for all of the tattlers?" No. I spoke with my class about this topic every day for the first week, and we acted out different situations that are in my version 2 cards. I am pleasantly surprised and happy to say that it was a formula for success!

W.O.W. Journals!

Ribbon cut, ready for glue!

 W.O.W. Journals How-To:

What is a W.O.W. Journal?

A W.O.W. journal is a writing journal based off of The Daily Five book (By The 2 Sisters). If you haven't checked it out, you should! Here is a link to their website. http://www.the2sisters.com/theDaily5.html  

Glue pretty side down.

 W.O.W. stands for "Work on Writing". The students will use this for most of their writing throughout the year. How many of you have had your students choose random pages throughout their journals? No order whatsoever. Enter the built in bookmark! Want to know how it is done?

Cut and glued.

What you will need:

Notebook (composition or spiral)
Ribbon
Hot Glue Gun/Glue Sticks

Labels (I made my own)

Sticker paper (optional)

Step 1: Measure and cut the ribbon. I chose to cut mine all at once. I measured the front cover, and then added another half.

Step 2: Cut the "V" at the bottom. You can also cut it at a slant if you're looking for a faster way. 

Step 3: Turn to the back cover. If your ribbon has a design on one side, glue that side DOWN. Glue it about a quarter of the way to half way down with a glue gun. Be quick once you put that hot glue on there because it dries fast! Put pressure on it for a few seconds. 

**Now flip it over the top of the book and lay it in between the pages. I am putting my ribbon by the front cover so the kids know that is where they should begin writing. Each day they will move the ribbon back a page so they're ready for the next day. 

Step 4: Attach a label. I made my own label on my laptop and printed it on sticker paper. It sticks really well this way. The composition books I purchased have a glossy texture to the covers, so I knew I had to find a way to make the label permanent.

That's it! Have questions? Ask below. :)
