Dog Crazy Math Centers

A few weeks ago I shared my Cat Crazy Math Centers with you..here is the promised Dog Crazy version! Thy are both on the same format and will be great to use back to back or mixed together. Dogs and Cats are usually my first two “themes” to teach at the beginning of the year so these will fit in perfect.

They focus on numbers just up to 50.

Here is what is included- there are 15 centers total:

1. Count by 5’s

A follow up/review sheet is included.

---

2. Count by 10’s

3. Telling Time to the hour

   

These can be used with or without the answer matching cards.

4. Counting Money: Dimes & Pennies

---

5. Color Words

---

6. Ordering Numbers

Four sets of cards are included.

7. Picking the greatest number

Two different versions of recording sheets are included.

Clifford.. the Big Red Dog Mini Unit

 

Clifford is just the best BIG dog around! I enjoy spending a week towards the beginning of school doing an author study on Norman Bridwell and his amazing collection of Clifford books.

These are some of my favorite Clifford books:

I have just finished and listed my newest mini unit all about Clifford!

Here is the link: Clifford Mini Unit

Here is what is included…

Count the bones cards and a recording sheet.

Count by 10’s cards- the cards go up to 200. There are 2 recording sheets. One stops at 100 and the other goes to 200.

These little Emily Elizabeth cards are for ordering numbers from least to greatest. The numbers range from 1-50.

LOTS of sentences to practice reading.

There is also a word list, word find, unscramble the sentences and more sentence reading practice.

Getting Ready : 4th week

 

First, of al I want to thank these sweet teachers who awarded me with a “Top Ten” award this weekend. You all rock .. and you all are in my favorite teaching blog list too!

So many of you are starting school tomorrow..I will be thinking and praying for a fun, organized and stress free day for you. And, I hope you get a little sleep tonight. I never sleep the night before school starts! HA! My mind won’t shut down long enough to rest!!

We are starting week #4 tomorrow.. I “finally” believe that are settling into a routine and they know what is expected now. I really hope I did not jinx myself by saying that…

This is Clifford Week.. and I love that Big Red Dog! I usually require my students to do a family book report on a Clifford book.. but I choose to skip it this year.  We will still read tons of Clifford books this week and I have several Clifford centers that they will work on. I also really hope we can squeeze in a Clifford art project.. but I feel like I can not fit everything into our schedule that I want to do. My students go to art 3x a week- so skipping a classroom art project makes the most sense. Even if it makes this creative teacher sad….

I also made a new door display to go up tomorrow. Our school’s homecoming is coming up later this month.. so this is perfect. I plan to leave it up until October then put something Halloween on my door.. which is crazy. Halloween? All ready?

I have a question for you..

I had a reader ask me for chapter book suggestions.. and I gave her my list of ones I recommend. But I would love to hear what you read to your students. We are currently reading Junie B.. and I also enjoy the Mouse and the Motorcyle, Charlotte’s Web, and Freckle Juice. Please share some other fun ones with me!

Well, the good news is that Monday is behind us and it we enjoyed a LONG weekend!!! The bad news is that I will be a day behind all week because it feels like a Sunday to me!

xoxo,

Kacey
