Sleigh Savings Money Work Station

Click Here

I created this work station to work on counting coins.  My class has wallets and uses dollars for our class store. 

We count our money each week and make trades.  We visit our store every two weeks.  I was surprised when we began our money unit and saw the challenges of counting coins.  So... Sleigh Savings was created. 

 I hope you can use!

Fabulous Fables

I've listed this fabulous fables mini unit on TpT for $4.  It's on sale for the next week.

I created this fables mini unit to assist my figurative language lessons and align with our weekly selection. Included are fables and figurative language posters, two concept maps, four different fables with aligned vocabulary and follow up activities, writing fables graphic organizer, and scroll paper.

The fables include: The Tortoise and The Hare, The Crow and The Pitcher, The Ant and The Grasshopper, and Belling the Cat.

I used these four Aesop fables to align with Houghton Mifflin Focus on Fables, Theme 2.
