"Ulta"mate Gift Card Holder FREEBIE

Hey peeps!

My school year is coming to a close soon. I was trying to think of something different to give to my one and only parent helper.

I decided on a gift card to Ulta. So I made this little card holder to go with it.

After I shared it on Instagram, I received several requests for it. So, I've made it editable. I also added lots of options beyond "CLASSROOM HELPER!"

Head on over to my store and pick up this little FREEBIE!!
Please follow my store while you're there! Don't forget to leave some feedback! THANK YOU!!!

Happy almost of the the school year!!

Alphabet Zoo {ABC Chart}

Today you can grab the Alphabet Zoo from A to Z {ABC Chart} for FREE! This chart is perfect for your guided reading groups, writing folders, or to place in stations!

Making TENS with a Rainbow to 10!

Hi friends, Teri from A Cupcake for the Teacher here!  My firsties and I are working hard on addition and subtraction to 40.  Math with big numbers can be a bit tricky... especially when we seem to have forgotten our facts to ten!  That's why I created this little freebie:

Rainbow to 10 is a colorful way to remind our littles of all the ways to make a ten!  Included in the freebie are two posters {one in color for displaying, one in b&w for copying} and a practice sheet.

To grab your FREEBIE copy of Rainbow to 10, stop by my blog.  You'll also find a matching CRAFTIVITY and an anchor chart along the way!

Morning Work FREEBIE

Greetings friends! I have looked high and low for morning work for my students. There are several great things available online, but I was seeking something more independent for my students. I didn’t want to have to explain each section every day. I created this set to buy me 5-10 minutes each morning to do attendance and lunch count. J My thought process when creating this was to explain the objectives on Monday, and repeat the same concepts for the remainder of the week. Each week has a duplicated worksheet with minimal changes so students can be independent. Each day students will color the day of the week at the top. Since our pacing guides may be different, you can follow your students and choose the week’s work based upon their needs. My goal is that my students will not need to ask me questions past Monday. You can also put these worksheets in a center or send home as homework too. Here is a one week preview FREEBIE for you to try in your classroom. Click the picture to download it. I hope you love it! Best of luck!
