MATH FACTS MAKER

This is an Excel Program a parent made to create math facts for one number.  My son, adjusted it to build higher facts as the year went on and the students needed harder facts.
Addition includes add 1, add 2, add 3...
Subtraction includes sub from 10, 11, 12 on up to 100 and 1000, and I think you can adjust it to go higher.
Multiplication includes times 2, 3, 4, up to 9
Division includes dividing by 2, 3, 4, ...

This program is great even if your math program supplies Timed Tests.  It allows you to do more practice with your students.  This program is also great for differentiation, since you can easily pull Timed Tests each child needs.
See the BANANA SPLIT PROGRAM  http://okscribbler.blogspot.com/2010/02/banana-split-program.html that helps 3rd graders with multiplication facts to 12.  You could run a similar program in 1st or 2nd with addition and subtraction facts.

If you are interested, email me and I will send you the link from my computer with instructions on how to make different sheets of the same problem.
Hope you find this useful.

SCROLL BOOK REPORT

 Usually there is some concept required for students to read and understand a biography.  I assigned the report prior to Christmas so parents would know what was needed to help their child complete the project.  I emphasized to the students that an adult needed to make the scroll since it could be burned along the edges.  Students were also given the option of dressing as the character their report was about.  I encouraged students to print photos/pictures that pertained to their report and attach to the back side of their scroll.  That way as they were reading their report, the class could see pictures that related to the reading.

REINDEER REMINDER

Keep on expecting Good Behavior even during this exciting season.  You need brown Kraft paper, red, white, and black construction paper, scissors, glue, black marker, a plant pot, dirt, a tree branch, and tape.  Place the plant pot in an area of the room where your reindeer mascot can observe the class.  Enlarge the reindeer patterns, trace them on brown Kraft paper, and cut them out.  Trace and cut out two eyes from white paper and add black eyeballs with the marker.  Next, trace and cut out a nose from red construction paper and reindeer hooves from black paper.  Glue the eyes and nose to the reindeer head, tape the reindeer body to the front of the pot, and attach the reindeer head above it.  Cut out two long strips of Kraft paper for the legs, accordion-fold the strips and glue a hoof to the bottom of each strip.  Attach the reindeer legs to the body, allowing them to dangle.  Use one large tree branch or two smaller ones to serve as the reindeer antlers and push the branches into the pot that has been filled with dirt.  Hang candy canes from the antlers and encourage children to name their new mascot.  Your reindeer is now ready to share its candy canes with all the "good little girls and boys" in your classroom.Some adadptations I made to the above directions:  movable eyes, a pom-pom nose, and planted the branch in cement to have less of a mess.

Cinquains are one of the easiest poetry forms to teach.  This project can be put in Journal/Memory Books and on your class website.    

POETIC LICENSE

Once you start working on poetry in your classroom, make up a license for the students to present when reading or writing poetry.  Cute idea.
