Just So Scrappy Giveaway

I mentioned yesterday how much I LOVE Just So Scrappy. Well I contacted Katie, the owner, and asked about letting me host a giveaway….she said yes! I’m so excited. She made a coupon for me to give to one lucky winner. The coupon is for five dollars off anything in her store, and it’s good for a year.

She also said she’d be willing to let me make a few things to give away to my followers…so I thought why not include that in the contest. Then I thought I have such great followers so why not buy an extra kit…then give that away too! Don’t ya love me!

Here are the prizes:

1st Winner: Just So Scrappy Coupon

2nd Winner: A Just So Scrappy Kit

3rd Winner: The fabulous Picnic Bingo Game pictured below. I stayed up way past midnight making this.

Here’s what you have to do:

1. Follow my blog and post about it.

2. Follow Just So Scrappy. Click here to follow. Then post about it.

3. Look around her store and post about what you’d buy with your coupon.

4. Look around her store and post a comment about which kit is your favorite.

5. If you have a blog…post about this giveaway.

That’s five chances to win! I’m telling you once you look around her store you’ll be hooked. I’ve blown about two months of my entertainment/book/magazine money. She also has lots of free things. I’m telling you…..YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED !

 

The contest ends Friday 7pm CST. Winners will be announced on Saturday!

 

Just to get you pumped, I’ve included another game similar to the one I posted yesterday. All you need are paper clip spinners and white boards or paper. Students spin and add the two numbers together.

Cute Word Work!

I just discovered Just So Scrappy! LOVE IT! I‘d promised myself I’d take it easy this week…have a real Spring Break. IMPOSSIBLE.

I whipped these babies up right quick, and hope they can be of use to someone. All you need are paperclip spinners. You laminate the board and cut out and laminate the letter cards.

I plan to use these with a few of my strugglers who aren’t consistently automatic in taking apart words and blending them back. I figured having the cards would enable them to touch and say each sound then blend them.

Directions: They’d spin the spinner and place the letter card in the first square. Then spin again and do the same thing until they have three or two letter cards (depending on which mat they have). After they decide if it’s a real word or nonsense word, they would then touch and blend the word together.

I only want them to blend if it’s a real word.

If I make a recording sheet I’ll post it, but I’m anticipating just having them write the word on individual white boards.

If you’d like a copy just click on the picture to download.

I hope I did it right…I haven’t used Google Docs in a while.

Book Giveaway Winner

Here it is….the winner of Hands On Math is… number 31!

Tanya said…Math stations that I like using are the quick and easy to put together type. Dice games are great. Give first graders a pair of dice and a recording sheet and they can really add or subtract the afternoon away.

Alright Tanya you have until Wednesday to e-mail me with your school address so I can get your book to you!

Thanks to everyone who shared their ideas! I got some good ones to add to my bag of math station tricks!
