I Mustache you…..Got Milk?

So lately I have been looking around at everyone’s wonderful teaching blogs as well as on Pinterest and I have just been dying to think of a way to use all the mustache things that have been popping up! So here is my very first unit I am calling it I Mustache You…..Got Milk?

It is a unit on how to create your own advertisement, but not just an advertisement a Got Milk advertisement! You might be asking why is that so great, well because you and your students will be all decked out in mustaches from beginning to end. It is full of assessments, planning strategies, publishing choices, and other fun subject connections. There is even Mustache Milkshakes involved. So if you want to grab yourself a copy of this unit, it is posted at my TpT store now. There is more than 90 pages in this unit so check it out by clicking on the first picture below!

And I just can’t help myself because I am in love with this craftivity that I whipped up! OMGGOOOSSHHH I can not wait to do this with my students this year. Oh and sorry about the wedding picture in there it was the only thing close by. You know when you are in the zone crafting the picture just isn’t as important. Just imagine it with your student’s smiling faces and milk mustaches!

Also there were some activities that we have been working on in the classroom. I mentioned that we have been traveling the states, well this week we are going to have the students do the research by themselves. We have been tracking the states we go to by filling out an information page on that state. If you want your own copy you can click on the picture of The Little Man on the Map. It is a great book you can check it out by clicking here

I hope everyone has a great week! I can’t believe it is almost March! Where has the time flown?

An Addition and Subtraction Game…..

I am really excited about this post because I am selling my very first item on TpT! If you didn’t get a chance to check out my last post, over the weekend I started my TpT (Teachers Pay Teachers) store. Check it out by clicking my new button on my blog. Everything I have upload to the store was free until now. Although this little game is for sale you can pick it up for only $1.00! Yep, just $1.00!

The game has all the student response sheets you could ask for. I have included 1-digit to 4-digit problem response sheets. Meaning you can make a sheet of all 1-digit, 2-digit, 3-digit or 4-digit problems. However, the great thing about these sheets is that you can also choose to mix and match them. In addition I have included a 1 and 2 digit mixed response sheet as well as a 2 and 3 digit mixed response sheet. Check out the preview below or head over to my TpT store to pick up your own copy.

Well that is all for tonight friends! I hope you enjoy this little math game and pick yourself up a copy to use in your classroom! Your kids will love it! Tomorrow is Thursday so Friday is just around the corner! I am ready for the weekend! I don’t know about all of you but this week has been a long one…..
