Shapin' Up

I hate it when I have a day off and I can't sleep in. My body is just to used to getting up at 5:00 AM. So here I am blogging and blog stalking when I wish I could be sleeping.
Maybe I can't sleep because I'm excited about my new packet. I think it's pretty cool. We've been working on Shapes for the past few weeks and I put together a packet of some of the things we did.

This is a great activity for analyzing and composing shapes. My kids LOVE! 

This is a fun game where the kiddos get to use the skills they discovered on the Cover the Shape mat above.

I LOVE this book and was sad to find out that it is out of print. But you can find it on some of the used book sites. 

I read the book and then my firsties used their imaginations and came up with some cute pages for our class book. 

This is a picture of our class sort with 3D shapes. I'm using this next week in Math Stations with a 4-In-A-Row game.

 The packet is 31 pages of fun with over 50 pictures of 2D and 3D shapes.

 You can find the packet at my shops. Just click on the words below for a link.

TpT or Teacher Notebook

Oh and if you haven't heard, there are BIG sales this weekend on both sites.

THANK YOU!

At this Thanksgiving time I'm so thankful for the opportunity to be a teacher and work with my little ones. Some days it is VERY hard and I wonder if I'm doing any good. But then one of them gives me a big smile or a high five or a hug and then I know I might have taught them something today. I'm so grateful for this blogging community of wonderful teachers who inspire me to step it up and do a little more. I love the ideas everyone shares and the willingness to collaborate. It makes teaching much easier when I know I'm not in it alone.

FREEBIE!

Here's a little freebie to say THANKS for following me! It's from my shape packet above.
