Printable Hundred's Charts

Themed Hundred's Counting Chart

Chart....

Board....

Whatever you want to call them.  They equal 100.

I have put together some themed hundred's boards for my TpT store.  With the 100th day of school coming up, it seemed fitting. These boards can be used for lots of different things.  For starters, use them with your preK-K students to assess their progress of couting to 100.  Use them for holidays or with specific units.  For example, use the heart board for Valentine's Day.  Use it as a math center activity, and have the students use candy hearts to place over each heart on the chart as they count aloud or with a friend. This would be a great little 'what do I do when I am done activity' for the little ones.  Put a laminated counting board in a baggie with one hundred manipulatives (cubes, Hershey Kisses, candy hearts, etc.) and the kids can grab it from a basket and take it to their seat to practice counting.  

There are a hundred ways you could use these boards!

As always, be creative!

One Extra Degree

212 degrees... Just One Extra Degree

It wasn't so long ago that I heard about One Extra Degree and was intrigued by it. My husband actually used the concept with his basketball team this year, having 212 degrees put on the back of their shooting jerseys.  Then, as I returned to work today, we were presented with the concept at our faculty meeting. The comparison between the boiling point of water and striving to be  someone that stands above the rest is an analogy that can really make you think.  It can help you to take a step back and look at yourself and ask, "What can I do to create that steam?"  If you don't know what I'm talking about, then watch this video.

So, with that said, it seems fitting that my newest Featured Teacher Blog is called One Extra Degree

and they are officially awarded the:

Amanda is the third grade teacher behind the scenes at the teacher blog One Extra Degree.  She makes all of the great teacher resources, which tend to meet the grade range from  k-4.   I know Amanda from Teachers Pay Teachers where she is a top seller.  Take a moment to check out her blog and TpT store.  You are sure to find a few items you can take back to the classroom.

Movie Themed Bulletin Board

Grab Your Popcorn!

{ Update on this blog post... please check out my Hollywood/Movie Bulletin Board Printables by clicking this link:  Hollywood Bulletin Board }

If you read my blog two days ago, you know that I made a movie themed behavior incentive card to start the new year.  Well, I went back to work today and got it all put together.  Check it out.

Remember, the basic chart was a freebie file.  The top right hand corners of the bulletin board are 3-D. I used pop corn containers I got from Target.  I then just copied some other graphics, laminated them, and placed them around the charts.

If you didn't get the freebie file, click HERE to read my other blog post.

Christmas Gift Thank You Notes

Thank You Notes with a New Year's Theme

Call me a slacker! 

 Over this Christmas break, I had every intention of mailing thank you cards to my students and their parents for all of the wonderful gifts I received.  But, it simply didn't work out. Oh well!  I know some teachers get the thank you notes written on the last day of school before the holiday break, but I just don't ever seem to be able to sit down long enough to get it done. I don't know what was going on in your classroom, but we had benchmark tests the last day, and we had our Chirstmas party. It was a crazy day!  So, what is the plan at this point?  I shall fill out a small Happy New Year card that is really a Christmas thank-you note......kill two birds with one stone.... Wish them a Happy New Year and say thank you, too.  I will staple the note inside their agenda/homework notebook so their parents will see it. 

Are you a slacker too? 

 (I know we aren't really slackers!)

But if you are running behind on your holiday thank you cards, feel free to print my card out and use it.

Fun Friday Movie Day Freebie

It's a Fun Friday Freebie

As I go into the second half of the school year, I figured I would try a new behavior incentive.  My teaching neighbor and I are going to hold a movie day the last Friday of the month in order to encourage good behavior.  I am going to print one of these for each student, and put them on my bulletin board.  They will use it like a standard sticker chart.  This will add something fun to start off the new year.  Feel free to try it in your classroom, as I am including it as a freebie:  Fun Friday Movie Chart
