Hello my long lost friends!! I can't believe it has been four months since I blogged last! Once summer hit I spent all my free time with my four kiddos and being a step-mom for the first summer! Being a full-time mom for the first time was soooo fun and rewarding! I am blessed to have the sweetest step-children a woman could ask for!
Then, to make my summer a wee bit busier, I changed grade levels and of course, that meant MOVING classrooms! I must admit, I was dreading the move! After 16 years of teaching, you acquire quite a bit of "stuff"! I made the big move from 1st to 2nd grade! {I will post pics of my new classroom soon!}
I must admit, I love teaching 2nd! I miss my cute little firsties, but how fun it has been to have half of my students from last year in my class this year! I am finding that alot of the materials I created for 1st grade can still be used in 2nd but there has been a need to create new materials to meet my needs.
Two weeks ago we reviewed place value to the tens place, and I was able to use my Place Value Roll It- Make It- Expand It freebie.
Then last week I taught my second graders about place value to the hundreds place. I created this extension to my Roll It! Draw It! Expand It activity. You can find this freebie here or click on the image below.
