i love 2 teach skip to main skip to sidebar home classroom management math reading science social studies writing sunday september 1 2013 famous pairs cards i hope you are having a fantastic start to the 2013 2014 school year it s so fun having time to get to know our students at the beginning of the year building relationships is foundational to everything we do as educators so i try to make sure my students spend a lot of time working together either in small groups or partnerships for a few years i have used famous pairs cards in my class that i ve written on index cards basically these cards have an even number of words written on them one word written on each card such as cookies milk mashed potatoes gravy salt pepper etc when i m ready to get my kids working together in pairs i mix the cards up and pass out one to each student if i have an odd number of students in my class then i keep the last card and will be a partner to one of my students then my kiddos silently walk around with their cards held up next to their heads trying to find their famous pair they love searching for their partner and it s a trip to watch so this year i decided to make my cards a little fancier than the hand written version and add a couple more features thanks to the inspiration of dr spencer kagan sometimes once my kiddos are in their partnerships i want one partner to talk and the other to listen and then switch roles so i added an a and a b to each card so it would designate who is who when i say partner a goes first the partnerships will be able to start right away and no more rock paper scissors to decide who goes first also there are times when i want my partnerships to link up with other partnerships so i made sure there are 4 cards per color finally each card has a number 1 through 5 if i need to i can have all of the number 1s 2s 3s 4s and 5s gather together to share what was happening in their individual partnerships the bottom line is i wanted some flexibility in the cards so i tried to add some of these features here look for yourself famous pairs cards there are 28 cards in all 14 pairs so hopefully that will accommodate the largest class size god bless you immensely if you have a class size larger than 28 just print laminate cut them out and you re good to go i hope you have as much fun with your famous pairs as i do enjoy 100 comments thursday july 18 2013 who goes first 40 ways for kids to decide it s time for your kids to break out into small groups and begin working on a task or they are about to start a game the first question i always anticipate is who goes first here s something that will get your kids engaged in deciding who will start the activity or game there are 40 cards in all you can put these on a ring and just pick one randomly to call out to groups you can also randomly pick one to give to each group so that each group has a different way to find who goes first of course at the beginning of the year when you are setting your routines you ll teach your students what to do if they need to have a tie breaker or if no one in the group satisfies the criteria i ve also created 5 spinners that can be used in the same way kids use a paperclip and a pencil to spin the spinner these spinners can be put on a ring and hung in a convenient location they could also have a magnet applied to the back and put in a handy dandy spot so your students can get to them i ve also created a teacher card that has all 40 ways on one card so it s at your fingertips you ll see it in the download who goes first 40 ways for kids to decide enjoy 20 comments monday july 15 2013 zabinga telling time game with 5 levels zabinga it s a new twist that i ve put on an old game and i m using telling time as the skill for this super easy to play and super fun game your students can play this game in pairs or in small groups all they need is a set of leveled playing cards with some zabinga cards sprinkled in teacher directions for what to put in each game bag is included in download everything fits nicely inside a sandwich size ziploc bag so easy i ve designed five levels level 1 to the hour level 2 to the hour

clocks just click on the images above to hop on over to my tpt store if you d like to grab all five sets just click below you ll get a lot more and have some more flexibility too in this pdf file each level has different printable versions because everyone has different capabilities some of us have access to color printers and others of us don t so each level is provided in a black and white version as well as a color version i usually print in black and white onto bright card stock and i use a different color of card stock for each of my sets it really helps keeps my sets together i ve also created each set in business card format using avery business cards 2 x 3 5 can you say easy you can grab a set of these business cards at the store for 11 13 for 250 cards they are durable and so stinkin easy to pop out no more cutting on the paper cutter for those of us who don t have the means to get business cards then each set is provided in a regular format just print laminate and cut out all of this actually 26 documents is included in your download woo hoo so how do you play zabinga cards leveled playing cards with 4 zabinga cards mixed in are placed in the middle of the group on each player s turn she or he will take a card from the top of the pile and answer the question on the card if the answer given is correct answer keys are included in sets the player gets to keep the card if the answer given is incorrect the card is placed at the bottom of the pile if a zabinga card is drawn the player must put all of the playing cards she or he has collected so far back to the bottom of the pile the zabinga card is then put aside in a different stack it is the next player s turn students will continue playing until all of the playing cards from the pile are gone the player with the most playing cards is the zabinga winner woo hoo i ve made an instructions card that fits nicely inside a sandwich size ziploc bag along with the playing cards so all your kids will need to do is grab a bag pop a squat on the floor and play yes here s what the cards look like this is the business card format provided in color as well as black white formats this version is the regular format not for business cards it s available with color clocks or black white for each game just use 4 zabinga cards don t worry the teacher directions tell you how to make game sets visit my tpt store to scoop up a copy of this telling time version of zabinga but wait there s more as i was making this game i thought these cards would be perfect for a game of scoot so i ve included some

process skills posters freebie i m working on a professional development piece for my amazing district and this class centers on helping our students develop their science process skills if you re like me you might be like huh what are those you ll recognize them when you see them they are basically the tools that our budding scientists use to carry out scientific investigations they are what they need in order to learn new knowledge and i believe teaching them and giving our students lots of time to practice them are just as important as teaching content check out the institute for inquiry for more information i also believe our kiddos need to know what they are and when how they are using them here are some posters 8 5 x 11 from which you can use to teach as well as display in
