BBQ Bash Money Bump FREEBIE

A struggle that I see year after year with my students is money!  If that means making change or counting money.  I made this game to reinforce the skill of counting money.  Students are paired and draw a card.  They will count the money and place their marker on that space.  If they get two of the same amount, they can lock the space and keep building from there.  The space isn't locked until they get two markers on that space.  This is where the excitement is created - the students are excited to be counting money because of the thrill of bumping their partner off their space! The only additional materials will you need to play this game is something to stack on the game mat.  I hope that this game comes in handy!

Reading Street Focus Wall

I have now had almost one unit under my belt of Reading Street!  After the first week, I knew that I needed to make a focus wall.  This would not only be beneficial towards my students but also for me!  I have my focus wall right behind my meeting place for guided reading groups.  This makes everything in one place and then I can easily pull materials from my focus wall to use for my groups.  I decided to include the skills from the Reading Street Pacing Guide.  Here is what I have included:

1.  Comprehension Skill - Poster for each skill
2.  Comprehension Strategy - Poster for each skill
3.  Vocab - Poster for vocab skill along with the picture vocab cards
4.  Phonics - Poster for phonics skill
5.  Retell - I am using the retell cards that came with the series
6.  Genre - Poster for each genre
7.  Theme - We write down the theme for the story on the board
