January Print and Go

Who doesn't love a bundle that has several activities that are print and go? We are all busy and have things we are working hard on throughout our day. Over the weekend once I finally set the littles to bed I decided to get to work for once. It has been a long time since I sat down and let my fingers work for me. Having a 2.5 year old and a 15 month old some days is rough. 

I have been working on my centers for some time now. I admit I have my teacher authors that fill my bins, but sometimes I can't find exactly what I was looking for.  I created a few centers to meet the needs of my first grade classroom. 

The word problems in this file use words that follow cvc, cvce, and digraph patterns. I also made the story problems match many January word list.  

My classroom uses a mix of the Engage New York RDW and a little bit of CUBES to solve. I really love how the RDW first step is to actually read the problem. I always felt like though we know to read the problem it was always a step the was innocently skipped over. 

Steps. 

Read the problem, 

Circle the numbers

Underline the question

Box in the clue words

Draw your strategy

Write the Equation

( If you come up with a cute saying for these please tell me. )

Balanced Equations

These little guys can confuse some of my parents for sure. I created some puzzles and a recording sheet to help my students match them. I also allow them at all times to access their math folders that has a multitude of graphic organizers for them to use to solve. I also allow them to use whatever tools necessary to solve. We are building our fluency, but allowing them to see touch and feel the problems, I believe they are more successful. 

I will keep everyone posted of any more activities included in this activity. Off to work I go.
