Halloween Skittles Graphing and Fall Science and Math Centers by Phenomenal First Grade!

Get your Fall Materials at 15% off until Halloween!

In this Zipped file, you get all the materials to complete a 4 station Fall Celebration. We use these centers as our culminating activity to our Properties of Matter Unit for our Science Curriculum in our First Grade Classrooms. But, these centers can be done as individual activities with your class in Kindergarten, First, or even Second Grade. We use our learned property words to identify and describe different things in fall. We use our sensed to describe and compare as well. The four centers are: Comparing and Contrasting Apple Juice Vs. Apple Cider, Comparing 3 different types of apples, Pumpkin Observations, and Changing Matter through changing the appearance of white frosting. All Centers have follow up recording sheets to describe each with property words. The graphs for the Apple Juice vs. Apple Cider and Apple Comparisons are available on hard copy or on the Smart Board. There are 17 files altogether. Directions and materials needed are also included in the preview file. Banners for display are also included. It's a great way to incorporate fall study into your curriculum! 


In this zipped file you get a set of graphing materials to create a Skittles bar graph. There is a sorting sheet, the bar graph, and a results page. Also included is a Smart Board file with all three components for demonstration, or to do as a whole class activity. The Smart Board file has colored circles to demonstrate sorting, colored blocks to demonstrate graphing, and the results page to demonstrate the written component. A banner is also included to display student work after the activity is completed.

This is always a lot of fun!

It's Back to School time! 
Time to figure out what you need and what you want. 
Time to stock up with the big sale! 
All items are 28% off at Phenomenal First Grade!

Maybe time for a full year pack. We have a big selling First Grade Math Facts Fluency Pack!
Let's talk about data!
In September, I had  0% of students able to achieve 90% of facts correct in 2 minutes. (27 correct facts in 2 minutes.)
After working diligently with the students and parents with this pack, 87.5% of students reached 90% or higher on our fluency assessments in May. (27 facts in 2 minutes in both addition and subtraction!)  
*That was 14 out of 16 students at 90% mastery and above! (Both students that didn't achieve 90% were in the 85% to 90% range!)
Listen to what buyers have said about this pack:
"Great pack!"
"This will be convenient to use with my students."
"Great skill building tool!"
"This has been very helpful in terms of helping my students learn math facts."
"WOW!"
"Both my parents and students are enjoying this!"

I'll be starting this in the first two weeks of school! It was that helpful! I introduced it at the Open House in the beginning of school and parents were happy and thankful to have an easy organized way to help their children achieve mastery of their facts!
Check it out!

This is our Math Facts Fluency Pack for First Grade. (Works with addition and subtraction fluency within ten CCSS) Teaching math facts to first graders requires a well organized system. This system can be done in class or sent home for parents to help. I currently run it as a home to class system. There are directions on how to set up this system. It starts with addition and builds fact set by fact set. There are practice pages that can go home for parents to time their children. The practice pages are cumulative. Side a has the new fact only and side b has the cumulative facts. There are flash cards as well. Also included are teacher probes for progress monitoring. You can monitor student progress regularly by timing them say their facts. There is also a student progress tracking sheet, a math facts log to be sent home to parents, and student graphs so students can track their own progress. 
This is our Sight Word System for 35 weeks of words. It's the best of both High Frequency worlds! A unique mix of Fry and Dolch Words make this pack a necessity. There is a combination of all 150 Dolch and Fry words mixed together. All the beginning words get covered. This will help your students not miss any of those words! Included in this pack are cumulative assessments. There are also graphing/writing exercises. There are trace and write practice pages. There are also copy, write and sentence practice. Cumulative fluency practice grids are also included. It's a great time to buy this!!!
