Christmas Around the World

Our team will be having our Christmas Around the World on December 9th. I will be teaching the students about Belgium! I found these transparent sheets at Michaels. I bought 3 packs of 40 for only $7 will all of my coupons/discounts. They will cut out the “stained-glass windows.” They will glue it to a piece of black construction paper. I will have pieces of tissue paper and they will glue the colored papers on their window❤️#christmasaroundtheworld #1stgrade #1stgradeteacher

I Know It Website!!! It's a math game changer!!!

 I hope that if you are on Spring break like I am; that you are enjoying your time off.  I wanted to spend a little time to share an awesome math interactive website.  It is www.iknowit.com. 

I love how you can assign lessons to one student or the entire class. You can also personalize additional options for the lessons.

These lessons are so interactive and colorful. The lessons have an option to read the question to the students for lower elementary students and also students who have accomodations.

One of the most important features of this website is the progress session of the website.  As you can see in this picture below, it has a tab for student progress, assignment progress, printable progress report, and student awards.

No worries about your standards aligning to the these activities.  You can set the lessons to Common Core Standards, Texas Standards, or Florida Standards. This site has over 25,000 Common Core aligned math practice questions across 300 lesson topics. The resources also align with the most common math textbooks and curriculums. This is a game-changer!!!!

Look below at how easy it is to assign a lesson. 

What I love is that teachers are able to see and preview all of the lessons before assigning them to the students.

I love that if a student gets a question wrong, they will get individualized feedback on how to solve the specific problem. The feedback is designed to be visual and it is written at the appropriate reading level. If students get the answer correctg, they are rewarded with a fun animation from the character at the bottom right. They can change this character if they'd like to, opt for another emoji option, or just remove that option altogether.
