Hurricanes & School Closings & Frightened Students....oh my....

This is intended for teachers and students in the upcoming days before school is cancelled due to a hurricane while everyone is nervous. Prior to Hurricane Irma, I was constantly trying to reassure my students and encourage them to stay informed and be prepared instead of giving in to panic. I used several of these links to help my students understand what was happening (4^th grade) and wished I had a list of resources ready to go when the hurricane was announced. So, here you go. Stored on TPT so when the next one hits the Hurricane State (aka Florida), I’m ready to go too!

Super Kids II Classroom Theme

Our school's theme this year is....Superheros! I love this and have had it as my classroom theme for my board for years. The original classroom theme I had posted on Teachers Pay Teachers has undergone some changes  - mainly taking out the polka-dot background and giving everything a slightly edgier background with loops. I love it.

Tic-Tac-Toe Game {FREE}

This tic-tac-toe game board is a great game to use no matter what subject you are teaching or concept you need to review. Students answer questions provided by the teacher. If correct, they may lay down a piece on the game board. Three in a row wins!

Best of all...this game can be played in a very short amount of time. Perfect for those kids that finish quickly, but don't have enough time to do another full game!

Dominoes (Multiplication, Fractions/Decimals/Percents, and Equivalent Fractions)

Another set of games I've been working on...dominoes! I hope to make many more sets in this series, since they worked so well in my classroom the last few weeks of school. I designed them to be played like Junior Dominoes so that there's no score keeping involved. Let's focus on the math skill...not trying to keep score. :)

The first two items listed have two levels of play to help with differentiated work in your classroom. The third set...well, it just didn't work to have two levels with the number of tiles needed.

      

Go Fish!! aka...End of the School Year Survival Mode....

I got on a game kick at the end of this year in my classroom. The kids were done. Finished. They'd had it. After getting ready for our state testing (which was a couple weeks later in the school year due to us starting earlier), they were burnt out. But, of course, the district doesn't exactly want us to kick back and watch movies for the last month of school! :) So, I created a few more games so my kiddos would be practicing math skills while having fun. First up: Go Fish!
