Engage NY Application Problems, A Giveaway, & a SALE!!

Hi All, well this is going to be a busy post, but if you make it to the bottom there's a giveaway and a Sale so hang in there.  I finally got around to posting my Engage NY 2nd Grade Application Problems for Module 4.  They have been done for some time now it just took me awhile to get them all prepped and ready to be posted in my store.  I always forget how long that part actually takes.  I always get excited to post something and start uploading things and then I remember I haven't locked down all the clip art, etc. so I always end up spending way more time sitting at the computer then I expect to.  But now it's finished (Yay!) so here it is:

This new addition to my store is just like my last only it features the application problems for Module 4.  It contains large slides that I use to display the problems on my Activboard.

We always solve the problem multiple ways as a class using the student's different strategies.  For my fast finishers I always challenge them to solve each problem as many different ways as they can so we always have multiple strategies to discuss and share.  It also has student pages that can be used to make student work books.  Each student page has work space, writing lines, and a Read, Draw, Write checklist at the bottom.

GIVEAWAY: If you would like to win a copy of my module 4 Application problems leave a comment and your e-mail address below and I will pick one lucky winner to e-mail the file to for free!

I have found these to be really helpful in my implementation of Engage NY and I hope you do too.  I plan to start working on Module 5 in the next week or so since we will be finishing Module 4 shortly after we return from break so check back soon or follow me so you can grab those when they are ready.  For now visit my store where everything is on sale for the next 2 days! 

As always, Thanks for reading!!!

Christmas in July: Part 3

For Part 3 of my Christmas in July Sale I will be discounting my #3 best selling item: Sort it Out: An Addition and Subtraction Key Words Word Sort.

I use this word sort to help students learn the key words to look for when solving word problems.  I usually let them sort them in teams and then we go over the words and their meanings as a class.  After we have sorted a few times we make these cute little creatures and glue the key words all over them.  There is no template for these guys (since it's not my original idea) we just make them out of construction paper, but they're really easy to make.  I got the idea to make these cuties from A Year of Many Firsts.  Click here to see how she uses them a bit differently. 

Then we hang them from the ceiling so we can reference them if needed.  We also add them to our interactive notebooks but I'll post about that when we work on it again this year so I can post some student samples for you.  I hope you enjoyed the Christmas in July sale.  Check back often or follow me to see more of my resources and future posts!
