\nHi everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend and a lovely Valentine’s Day on Saturday.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nMy firsties and I celebrated Vday all week with themed literacy centres from my “Bless Your Heart<\/a>” activity pack. The writing centre was a particular hit:<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nThe above postcard template is from the\u00a0Bless Your Heart Valentine Literacy Center Pack<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nI brought in a mailbox for the kids to “mail” postcards to their friends when they visited the writing centre. On Friday, I delivered each postcard by stuffing them in the bags that the kiddies made for their Valentines (you can kind of see their love bug bags<\/a> along the back counter in the pic below)<\/i>…but I secretly read each one first \ud83d\ude09 Some of them were super cute: from the traditional “you ar a rili nis frend” and “I like you,” to “my favourite culr is blue. Do you like tacos?” haha!<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nIn math, we dove a bit deeper into skip counting and practiced our skills with this super simple cut-and-paste skip counting book:<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nI snapped this pic of their in-progress books when my firsties took a break to go to gym. The mess gave me serious anxiety but it was the result of little minds hard at work so I managed to pull myself together and resist the urge to clean!<\/i><\/div>\n
\n
<\/i><\/div>\n
\nTo make the books I just cut 4 long strips of construction paper for each student. The 4 pages featured a cover page (where they just wrote the title “My Skip Counting Book” and decorated it), a skip counting by 2s page, a 5s page, and then a 10s page.\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nI had my firsties work on one page at a time. They cut out everything first, mixed up the number cards, and then put them in the correct order in their book.<\/div>\n
\n<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/div>\n
\nClick HERE<\/a> to download all three pages of cut-and-paste skip counting for FREE!<\/b>\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n(which also includes another skip counting activity that was featured in THIS POST<\/a>)<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nI hope you enjoy this activity with your littles \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
