I'm back.had a sick baby with the stomach bug from Thursday-Sunday last week. I would love any upper grade suggestions for holiday "stuff". :) It was super cheap and with the letter cutting and picture taking process, I have a total of 1.5 hours in the entire project.


Some of the faces were so stinking cute I wish I could post them all for you to see.but I cant. I've blurred out the face on one of the cards so you could get the visual. My total cost in the craft: $3.42!! That's what I'm talking about!! The kids then created frames, art, or cards with the pictures for their moms. I went to RiteAid and picked up the pictures for my students. We then created picture cards using the PicCollage app on the iPad. :) My students posed with letters spelling mom for me. Yes, I said yesterday which is why this post is late. I know it's a late post, but maybe you could use it for Father's Day or next year? This year in 5th grade I struggled to come up with cute holiday "stuff" for my kids to do until yesterday. I hope you enjoy the task cards and can use them in your classroom. This week we are going to be calculator maniacs to make sure they are comfortable and ready to use them on the state tests.

I realized there's no point in having the calculator as a resource unless the children know how to use them. After our practice EOG last week I've reflected on things and decided we need lots of practice with calculators! Our state test is divided into calculator inactive (paper/pencil only) and calculator active (students have the option to use a calculator).

They have QR codes on them, but leave a comment with contact information if you need task cards without QR codes. They're labeled calculator task cards however you could use them without a calculator. I really like the calculator task card recording sheet inspired by Traci Bender over at the benderbunch. That being said, they are simple task cards I plan to dress up with colored card stock and of course a laminator! You can grab your copy here. I tried to use the borders, but nothing seemed to cooperate with me late last night. Last night I created these task cards to use in the classroom on Monday. My family and I enjoy spending time together camping, snowboarding/skiing, sports and travel.Happy Saturday! I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend. They are very active in sports and other activities which keep us very busy. They are now a senior at Fortuna High and a freshman in college. Kate and Charlotte started Redwood Prep as 4th and 5th graders when Redwood Prep opened in 2011. My husband Chris is a forester and we have two daughters, Kate and Charlotte. I graduated from HSU with a degree in liberal studies and Spanish and then received teaching credentials from Sac State (multiple subjects) and HSU (special education). I moved to Humboldt County to play basketball and study at Humboldt State University. I grew up in Arnold, a small town in the mountains outside of Sacramento. I teach 1st grade and am also the athletic director… Go Timberwolves! I have been teaching for over 20 years and am thankful every day that I get to work at a school filled with staff, students and families that I love and who inspire me to be the best educator possible. It’s amazing to be starting another year at Redwood Prep! When I think back on where we started 9 years ago and what we have accomplished through all of our love, sweat and tears, I am beyond proud and grateful to be a part of the Redwood Prep family.
