US Math & Literacy Centers-- FREEBIE!

Happy President's Day!!! I hope you are enjoying your day off.  Holidays aren't just fun because you get some time off to spend with family.. they are also fun because you can plan a unit around them!  

Here are pictures of my US Math & Literacy Centers.  I did not create an entire unit because I always like to pull from others.  So, I created some things I found useful in my classroom.  They would be the perfect addition to any unit!  There are 4 math and 4 literacy centers.

1.  Measure America:  This math center can be done with unifix cubes, die cut stars, counters, or whatever you want to use.  I have added a strip of stars for you to use if you'd rather just print it in color.

 2.  Eagle Addition:  Count the stars, dots, stickers, or whatever you use add em up and write the number sentence.

 3.  Colorful stars:  My kiddos LOVE doing these pages.  Give them a magnifying glass and ask them to find the color word on the star.  Write it on their paper and color the star to match.

 4.  Washington Words:  I thought I'd change up the CVC station and ask them to think of a word using the word family.  Then, color Washington to match.

 5.  Lincoln Letters:  Find the letters, circle them with the correct color and count to see how many you found.  I added the "Extra Extra" at the bottom, because my class ability is always so wide spread.. I have some that will take FOREVER with this, and some that will finish in 2 minutes.. This will give an added activity, instead of just drawing on the back for fun.

 6.  Bald Eagle Blends: Look at the picture, say the word out loud and write the blend on your paper.

 7.  Starry Sight Words:  Find the stars that match, build the word, write it on your paper and color the star to match.  My kiddos LOVE doing this center as well.  

8.  Washington Roll & Cover:  And last but not least---- your FREEBIE!  Thanks for stopping by.  Click the picture to grab it.

Five for Friday: Valentine's Edition

I'm linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching for their weekly five for Friday!  I wanted to share a few things I have done in the past during this week.

First, I LOVE these little books you can make with Kim & Megan's "Cut a Sentence" pack on tpt.  After making each book we would add them to our book boxes. It's the perfect Valentine's Day activity (especially for when the principal walks in..)  Look, we are still doing academic stuff... haha!

 This was what I had made for my kiddos one year.  I found these glow sticks at the dollar spot at Target.  It was a big hit!

I tried to do this bulletin board every year.  I can't take credit for the idea.. I cannot remember where I saw it though.. sorry.  The caption says, "Valentine Chocolates what a Treat!  Don't my Valentine's look Yummy enough to eat?"

 
And, of course it's not Valentine's Day without some conversation heart graphing.  I snagged this freebie off a blog a few years ago.  They are floating around everywhere.  I'm sure you already have one of these. 

Finally, my two February packs are on sale today through Monday.  They are 20% off!!!  If you think you won't use them.. think again.  Each pack has some US stuff inside perfect for next week!

I hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Day!
