This week was a short week for us, Monday being a Student Free Day. We were lucky to have the afternoon to ourselves for planning and preparation which was great!
Because we lost a day and reports are coming up, instead of normal math centers, I decided to put out review activities so I could pull students for individual assessments. I chose 9 activities so we’ll do 1 each day after our whole class lesson and activity this week and next week. I also put the kids in mixed ability groups of 2-3 students. Even though the content was review, the activities were new and from my Halloween and Fall math packs.
You can grab the packs these activities are from at my TpT store.
I’m also LOVIN my tubs of counters and a double dice. I have enough for every student in the class. Each holds 20 counters, a double dice and a paper clip to act as a spinner. We use them just about every day. For this game, they roll the double dice (or 2 dice), add them together and move the number of spaces. My students who are already pretty good with their facts use 1-10 dice instead.
Do you have a favorite Fall or Halloween themed activity?

Thanks for popping by Amy, I just followed yours earlier today. LOVE your blog name 🙂
Reports…. dreading them, as I do every semester! Can’t wait for them to be over! Good luck with yours!
hehe, sometimes I’m surprised at how ‘trained’ they are…. just wish I didn’t have to start a new year and start all over again!
Your activities look fantastic, Kylie.Yes it hard to start again when you have trained them so well.
I am crazy, I have asked to do Kinder again next year. Training Kindergarten is hard and tiring.
Now back to reports. Such a busy time of the year.
