Even and Odd Outcome Zing

We took our Math benchmark test this week and it turns out, my students are really struggling in math this year. I am sure my 7 week absence played a role as well, but I can't help but thinking that I didn't do a good job. =(

My plan of action was to take all of the standards students missed 6 or more questions on and focus on those for the next 10 days until the PASS test. Monday, we are working on odd and even outcomes so I made up a fun little "Zing" game for students to practice. 

I hope you can use it! Just click the image above to download it for free!

I am on my way to Jacksonville, FL right now for my boyfriend's, brother's wedding. I'm able to get internet in the car thank goodness! It has definitely helped pass the time! We got a wireless hub with three free months when we bought our new Dell XPS Ultrabook. I am loving it!

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

Let me know how you like the game! There will most likely be many more in the coming weeks!

I also have another Activ Inspire tutorial on special buttons and features! So, stay tuned!

Data and Graphing Mini Unit

This weekend has flown by and I am not quite ready for school tomorrow! I have spent WAAAAY too much time blog stalking and piddling around on the web today...

On a teachery note, I have finally finished working on that Data and Graphing unit that I told you about, oh like two weeks ago. I love teaching data! It's so much fun and the kids like being able to go around and survey each other! One of my favorite things we did though was a fun activity to teach line plots. I had a piece of chart paper set up before we started titled "Paper Ball Baskets." The students each got a turn trying to shoot a paper ball into our recycling bin (you could anything really, but the bin is large enough to really give everything a good chance.) The students shoot until they miss. I plot on a chart the number of times they shot without a miss. When the whole class is finished, we discussed how many shots most people made in a row and so forth! It was my BTF's (Best Teacher Friend - remember, I bragged about her yesterday) idea and we had so much fun!

Anyway, the unit is available in my Teachers Notebook shop for $5.00! BUT, I will be giving this unit away to 3 lucky peeps! All you have to do is head to my facebook page and like it, if you haven't already! Click HERE to visit my facebook page!

Please leave a comment with your email!

I will choose the 3 winners tomorrow night! (I think...) We have PTA tomorrow so I will try my best to do it afterwards!

Spring Newsletter Template

I realize I have been posting a ton the past two days, but I am just in the ZONE! I can't help it! I know many of you use my holiday/season themed newsletters so I wanted to share the one I made for Spring! It even has a piece of my Spring clip art pack in it for FREE!

It is a Word Document so you can edit the file. If the newsletter looks strange, just change the fonts so it works.

Inserting Media and Links

Inserting Media/Links in Flipcharts and some Research!

So, before I went out on my sick leave, my students were finishing up their animal research reports. I was so happy with how they came out and how much my students have grown since the beginning of this year! Anyway, after they publish, we gave them this adorable animal research sheet made by my BTF (best teacher friend) as I like to call her. 

I can't give this away to you, since it wasn't my creation, but at least now you have the idea! They came out so cute that I just had to share.
