Friday Freebies - Fact Frenzy and Election Fun!

Anonymous — Fri, 26 Oct 2012 22:00:00 GMT

We made it! It's FRIDAY!!! Hope everyone had a great week and is ready for a relaxing weekend! :)

I'm actually off the vet. My little Maggie has something jammed in her gums right next to one of her front teeth. She won't let me get it out and I would hate for it to get infected or turn into something worse. So we've been at the vet since 5:30. Didn't really want to spend my Friday evening at the vet, but I'll do anything for my fur baby!

On to the good stuff....the freebies!

The first is called Fact Frenzy! I made this as another way for my kids to practice their math facts! Being fluent with our facts is always a skill we're striving for!

The second freebie is an Election 2012 activity! We're having a mock election at school next week and I want my kids to be informed. Many of them are choosing a candidate completely based on what their parents think. I'm not saying their parents are wrong, but the kids should come to this conclusion through research and a sound understanding of each candidate. When I made the activity, I purposely left out the candidates' names. I wanted my kids to vote completely based on the issues...not any other factors.

I hope everyone has a fabulous Friday night and a relaxing weekend!!!

Scrambled States and a FREEBIE!

Anonymous — Sat, 05 May 2012 12:00:00 GMT

Since we've already taken our state test, we've been reviewing certain skills. One of those skills is map skills.

We started with a grid map of Washington, DC. We went over:

- letter/number grids

- compass/directions

- map key

- map scale

Then we moved on to the United States.

We read The Scrambled States book!

L-O-V-E!

There's a DVD as well!

I knew some of the kids were still having trouble naming and finding some of the states, so we started this activity:

Our county provides globe/map kits for each grade level.

It comes with this book:

It's full of great vocabulary, vivid pictures, and really helps the kids better understand map skills. Then I gave each student a blank US map and asked them to label and color it. (Click the picture below to download a FREE blank US map from Super Teacher Worksheets!!!)

After labeling and coloring the map (we haven't finished yet), I will give my students two options:

(a) I can laminate the map, or

(b) they can cut the states apart and use it as a puzzle.

The kids are really enjoying this! It's really helping their awareness each state's location and size relative to the other ones. Hopefully you can use this activity with your kids and have a blast as well! :)
