New Math Game Freebie

Just had a math training today.  Here is a card game that we played today.  I thought this would be great to do tomorrow after MAP testing.

This is Free on TPT and TN.

Food Chain Activities

Here is a food chain activity that I have done with my class.  It is a simple activity but it helps students visualize the food chain.  Just click on the picture below to download. 

If you like this activity be sure to check out my shops.  I have another food chain activity with popcorn that is only a $1.  One of my best sellers so far.

Desert Experiment and a Freebie

Just before spring break I finished up our  habitat unit.  Since we live in the Midwest and many of my students are not familiar with the desert so I created the My Desert Learning Packet for students to track their learning. (Which is free to download on TPT and TN just click on the links down below to find my shops.)

To have my students better understand why animals burrow in the sand during the day we did this simple experiment.  Just add some sand to a flower container and put it under a desk lamp.  Turn it on first thing in the morning.  By the end of the day have students feel the warm sand.  Also have some sand that you do not put under the light and have students feel the difference. 

My students also had the opportunity to answer this question:  How do desert plants live on very little water?  This is a great activity for students.  You can purchase this experiment at TPT and TN for just $1.
