Yes, I am still alive. Yes, I am BUSY, BUSY, BUSY. But yes, I am still here! I think about this little old blog often but lately it has had to fall to the bottom of my priority list. :( I'm not back to the same capacity as before when I regularly blogged, but I hope to at least have new resources to share and blog posts once or twice a month. :D<br />
<br />
Let's talk ten-frames.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
Do you know what a ten-frame is? Do you use ten-frames in your classroom? If you teach math in the primary grades, I hope your answer to both questions is <b>YES, <i>of course</i></b>! :)<br />
<br />
Using ten-frames helps students work specifically on <a href="http://frogsandcupcakes.blogspot.com/2013/07/monday-made-it-subitizing.html" target="_blank">subitizing</a>, composing/decomposing numbers, making 10, relationships between numbers, etc. These simple, yet powerful tools can help lay those building blocks of number sense our students need. Below are some resources you can add to your ten-frame ideas bucket:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>You can purchase a set of ten-frame cards OR you can pick up a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/frogsandcupcakes/app/190322544333196/" target="_blank">freebie here</a>. Once you have the cards, you are ready to use them with your kids! Use them as flash cards to build their instant recognition of each number.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li><span style="text-align: center;">If you are looking for some games to play with your ten-frame cards, I whipped a little math game pack up this week. </span><span style="text-align: center;">These games are great for whole group, small group or work station activities! You can check it out by clicking on the picture!</span></li>

Hope you had a <span style="color: red;">MERRY</span> <span style="color: #6aa84f;">Christmas</span>! This break has been so relaxing, yet productive for me! I hope it has been for you as well. :)<br />
<br />
So, have you ever heard of a tangle table? Here is an example:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV2atLeLlHMVOs1-0nGSOR-Z_sXqkfBbzzYr317HQGJagefb1hH8UpsH42Sgw9yjs3DAkpT1ru3QgJAJquxhkUbegfLNmO0bvfyTOxU_r7e98fwfEYA2skBGqmV80He97SMs7IjXvzLeY/s1600/Screen+Shot+2015-12-29+at+5.16.00+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV2atLeLlHMVOs1-0nGSOR-Z_sXqkfBbzzYr317HQGJagefb1hH8UpsH42Sgw9yjs3DAkpT1ru3QgJAJquxhkUbegfLNmO0bvfyTOxU_r7e98fwfEYA2skBGqmV80He97SMs7IjXvzLeY/s640/Screen+Shot+2015-12-29+at+5.16.00+PM.png" width="502" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These little tables are <b>FUN</b>, <b><i>FUN</i></b>, <b><u>FUN</u></b>. Like, adult fun, too! (I would LOVE to have a book of these!) If you enjoy Sudoku, you will enjoy this game. If your students enjoy playing games, then they will enjoy this game!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In this game, students are given a multiplication table that is all TANGLED UP. The factors 1-12 are still in the first row and first column, but they are NOT in the correct order. The objective?? Figure out where the factors are in the first row and first column by using the existing clues. Some of the factors may be visible; products are there to help as well. The students will have to use knowledge of the basic facts as well as a little bit of logic to get the whole table filled in. Here is the solution, for those of you working on it in your head!</div>

Hey, friends! I hope your week is off to a great start!</div>
<div class="separator" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
Let's talk about number sense:</div>
<div class="separator" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
Do you spend time teaching number sense in your classroom? Number sense isn't just a skill that the primary grades need to practice; older kids need practice too! To practice number sense in my classroom, I've used number of the day, number talks, counting around the circle, number riddles, worksheets, etc. I've done scoots and have used every possible manipulative. No matter what I use, children always seem to enjoy the activity.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here is one of MANY ways for students to build number sense (add it to the bank):</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Target-Number-Number-Sense-Activity-2245642" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyRwabO7t5XExVuohUpje28zZBu44J14IWi1o3QxqoAn7XR3R9Ane45I2pr6SV0VWfb8I8gjYl9rrKLRrPaHizcsjgoGjOTOWTQsmEyB57eXy3HYjVniOOCTmH0NoF-hyaeurS05gk39c/s640/Slide1.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
In this activity, students will have a target number that they must make by following different directions.<br />
<br />
Here is one of the target number pages with directions:<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>And here are a few tips for using the Target Number pages...</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1) Print the page you are going to use and place it in a report cover. Students can write on it with a dry erase marker and wipe it clean when finished! (like the picture below)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTRzPfRN2MZNiGcfv1xAjoGibLIt2jqTwep7FWVNAOHAVhGZN_Db8pFzjsJiboCPHN-vUhxJ-D_IqGG8TTKFv8NAva1m4lB4o05yg_00hHQ953PWWM7n_sVgAujsZwVmNliKM9_OAf6Ss1/s400/NoTD+page.png" width="345" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2) Have students use dry erase boards to do the work for the target number.</div>

I can't believe ANOTHER year is nearly complete. WHERE does the time go??!<br />
<br />
I just revisited and updated one of my math activities that I posted about a loooooooong time ago (from 2011, to be exact). My 4th graders helped me create an interactive bulletin board for Christmas. Here is the original post:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
Our bulletin board for the month of December was entitled "O Geome-Tree" (after the ever-so-popular "O Christmas Tree" song). This was a good opportunity to talk with my students about what geometry is (since, for whatever reason, my students said they had never heard the term). Geometry is something that students have had experience with all the way back to when they were learning shapes. Don't be afraid to introduce the term to them in the early grades! Anywho, here is the board!:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
This was a <i>very</i> simple introductory activity. We actually will not get into geometry until late March (other than reviewing what was learned in past grade levels) so I kept it simple. All the students had to do was make a polygon, write a fact or two about the shape and decorate it. They then got to staple it to the board as an ornament for the tree (this was their favorite part). Here is the sample I made for them:<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The activity gave me a little insight into what they already knew about polygons; it was NOT a good sign that half of them had to ask what a polygon was :/. Anyway, some students did a really great job while others decided to do a very basic job. Here are some student examples:<br />

Happy Sunday to you and happy late Thanksgiving! Hope it was a great one! :D<br />
<br />
I'm just going to go on as normal and pretend like I haven't been away from blogging for like, 10 months... :)<br />
<br />
Parts of speech--one of my favorite things to teach! I love grammar anyway, which makes teaching this concept to children even MORE fun! Children need to know that grammar is more than just circling and crossing out on a worksheet or gluing words into a parts of speech sort. One way to bring parts of speech to life is connecting it to <i>real life</i>.<br />
<br />
Think about the last time you were at a restaurant and you looked at the menu...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

What did the menu have that made you want to order what you did? A picture? Probably, but even more common than that are descriptive words. Did you order a nice burger or a juicy patty on a toasted bun, smothered with cheese? Introducing a new creation...<br />
<br />

In this project, students will study restaurant menus from familiar places and then create his/her own menu for his/her own restaurant using various parts of speech. In Texas, some of our ELAR standards deal with media and advertising techniques--this is a PERFECT tie-in because menus that students create will need to be attractive and appealing to anyone viewing it.</div>

My new little cupcake is now 1 month old, so life is (kind of) getting back to what I would consider normal. I really hope to get back to blogging on a regular basis.<br />

So did ya hear? I'm leaving the classroom! I accepted a position at another school in my district as an Instructional Coordinator, which means I get to work with and support teachers in their classrooms--SO EXCITED to get to do that!! :)<br />
<br />
Summer has gone WAY too fast. I actually have been quite productive and have crossed off MANY items on my TO DO list. However, that list is never-ending so I always feel like getting a lot done is never really enough. :P<br />

In other news, the annual TPT Back to School Sale in heeeerrrre! Time to finally purchase those items on your wishlist!!<br />

I have some kids that can count coin collections by 2s, 5s, 10s, 20s--and then I have kids who cannot point out a nickel. With such a wide range of knowledge, I have to make sure that I have good, quality activities that meet the needs of all levels of my learners. <a href="http://frogsandcupcakes.blogspot.com/2014/02/math-stations-logistics.html" target="_blank">Since I teach math in small groups</a>, I am able to easily differentiate for the different levels.</div>

I'd like to not have so much time in between them but life kind of gets in the way of that!! :)<br />
<br />
I am here today to bring you a number sense game that I use as a daily warm-up, but can also be used as a whole group, small group or math center/station activity.<br />
<br />
Building number sense is something that all grade levels <strike>should</strike> <strike>must</strike> <strike>have to, have to</strike> can do. ;) It is especially important for K-2 to build number sense in order to lay the foundation for higher level math. (Not to mention that number sense is needed to do everyday activities such as cooking, games and playing sports!)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One tool you can use to help build number sense is the 100 chart:</div>

and will use the 100 chart to figure out the answer. So how do they figure out the missing number??? They have to use the arrows and some number sense! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Each arrow represents a direction you can go on the 100 chart: left (-1), right (+1), down (+10) and up (-10). Students can use a 100 chart to determine that the missing number is 45. Eventually, students will be able to determine the answer using mental math and even be able to solve problems that include diagonal arrows. And what does that eventually lead to?? Being able to add and subtract two-digit numbers using mental math!</div>

<br />
I want to share one of the turkey projects we did this month.<br />
<br />
We read several of my favorite turkey books (and, of course, the kids loved them):<br />

<br />
Before and during reading these books, we discussed some nouns, verbs and adjectives about turkeys. After reading, the kids wrote down nouns, verbs and adjectives about turkeys. Here are the planning pages for it:<br />

The students wrote their chosen nouns, verbs and adjectives on feather outlines and colored nouns red, verbs orange and adjectives yellow. I gave them some brown paper, red paper and yellow paper, and this is what they came up with:</div>

I am a HUGE proponent of using manipulatives and hands-on activities to teach math (and other subjects) in ALL grade levels! Just because students are older does not mean that abstract thinking and understanding is automatic. Sometimes, they just need to put their hands on it in order to fully grasp it.<br />
<br />
So today, I made a duct tape number line!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The number line is about 6 feet long. I wanted it big enough for a small group of students to all use at once. During math stations, students will choose the cards out of a baggie one at a time and then place them on a number line. To assist in the ordering process, students have access to base-ten blocks to model the numbers.<br />
<br />
Like it? Make your own duct tape number line and use the number cards from this freebie:<br />

The kids must practice doing exactly what is expected of them before you can expect them to do it on their own. That's where stamina charts come in...<br />
<br />
When building stamina, you should keep a visual of the time so that students are able to see their progress toward the goal. You can do this many different ways. I will be printing off some charts on colored paper, laminating them and then posting them on my white (gray) board. We will color in our minutes each day until we reach our goal:<br />
<br />

<br />
I decided to add a few more charts with a different goal so that I could share them with you all! I know we all do Daily 5 differently, timing included. If you would like to snag a copy of these posters, head over to one of my stores!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
AANNNNNDDDD, I added the above-mentioned pages (with some bonus content) to the decimal notebook package, now making it a BUNDLE!</div>

If you own it, download it again to see the new content! If you do not own it, you can purchase it from one of my stores--and you may want to wait until the Back to School Sale kicks off on TPT to save up to 28%!</div>

During the winter season, my class did a penguins unit--we studied penguins, but we also learned about finding the main idea, inferencing, informational text, research, etc. <a href="http://frogsandcupcakes.blogspot.com/2014/01/im-baaaack-making-inferences.html" target="_blank">I posted about it back in January</a>.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My entire class was involved in the penguin study; I also made a special investigation activity for my GT students to complete. <span style="text-align: center;">I briefly mentioned the project back when I posted about our penguin unit. Now, I am ready to share it with the world!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I created this QR Code activity to use as an extension for my GT students. My students completed it in partners, though it could also be an independent activity. In the activity, students have a booklet with questions to answer about penguins:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To answer the questions, students must scan a corresponding QR code:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid3tuPBLXwLLqPwulelF8JsFcDgaC20uBLOqzDaB6B9UMxaff1mTW8Yyhk1jLIahg3YP6apW7vQlFhvGu8894qW2KOcVla5CDoYDRbXT0aJByX6aHEq-FgoG9y5QzzF0vMeDECdwG2Q6Y/s1600/IP3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid3tuPBLXwLLqPwulelF8JsFcDgaC20uBLOqzDaB6B9UMxaff1mTW8Yyhk1jLIahg3YP6apW7vQlFhvGu8894qW2KOcVla5CDoYDRbXT0aJByX6aHEq-FgoG9y5QzzF0vMeDECdwG2Q6Y/s1600/IP3.png" height="564" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The QR code takes them to a website with text or video for them to read/view, so students must be readers to complete the activity (OR have a partner or teacher for reading assistance).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Terri over at <a href="http://the-creative-apple.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">The Creative Apple</a> does a "Favorite Pins Friday" post every Friday--thought I'd join in on the fun today!<br />
<br />
Here are 5 favorites from what I have pinned this week on Pinterest. {<a href="http://www.pinterest.com/froggycupcakes/" target="_blank">Click here to head to my Pinterest boards</a>.}<br />

I LOVE the use of the <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/skitch-snap.-mark-up.-send./id490505997?mt=8" target="_blank">Skitch</a> app for this activity! For you older grades, this is a GREAT activity for visualizing area and perimeter in the real world! (Of course, this can also be done with printed pictures if you don't have access to iPads for your class.)</div>

I have been saving book jackets for the past year in hopes of eventually making some sort of banner with them for my classroom library. After seeing these pins, now I can't decide which shape for the banner! Love them both!</div>

I thought this looked like a fun art project (for multiple grade levels). We spend some time learning about life cycles in 1st grade so this project would tie in nicely.</div>

This latest labor of love is one that I plan on using in my own classroom. It is something that I have needed!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
During guided math groups, I oftentimes needed a quick review/intervention activity to get groups started or to even use in whole group. Instead of having to come up with one on the fly, I now have a resource that targets standards and is easy to pull from (more intentional):</div>

...this product is TEKS and CCSS aligned! I usually don't do that to my products, but decided that since most people are looking for standard-specific products, I might as well jump on the bandwagon and make it easier for them. I am in Texas so we don't (and never will) use CCSS, so I also included the TEKS for my home state peeps.</div>

Then the school year ended in 2014. And the school janitors threw ALL of my pointers away. All of them!!! :O<br />

SO I had to make more...<br />

I probably didn't need that many...... ;)</div>

I did make some for a few friends and also some to give away at a workshop I was teaching. That should explain at LEAST half of them. :)<br />

<br />
I am NOT a cook. At all. In fact, I HATE cooking! I would rather clean dishes and the kitchen than cook! If I absolutely HAVE to cook, it is not an enjoyable experience for me! I have a 4-year-old and a husband (who actually likes to cook) to feed, so I cook more often than I would like (which, ideally, would be NEVER, haha).<br />
<br />
So why say all that?? <b><span style="font-size: large;">Because I am about to share a recipe with you!!</span></b><br />
<br />
I discovered the crock pot method of cooking last year (yes, I went my whole life not realizing the wonders a crock pot can do). Crock pot cooking is a very tolerable way of cooking for me! And it is SO easy and YUUUUMMMMMY!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<u>Ingredients</u>:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>peppers (whichever colors you prefer)</li>
<li>onion</li>
<li>any other veggies you like</li>
<li>1 cup water</li>
<li>1 pack fajita seasoning</li>
<li>boneless, skinless chicken breasts</li>
</ul>
<br />
<u>Procedure</u>:<br />
<br />
1. Chop those veggies and thrown them in the crock pot! (And in case you are like me and don't know how to cut a pepper, YouTube has some great tutorials!)<br />

I LOVE science.<br />
<br />
I also love math. And phonics. And reading and writing. Okay, okay, I love everything! It's all fun to teach!<br />
<br />
I just finished working on a product that I have used in my own classroom for two years. Before we get into plants, we spend a week or two specifically studying soil and its properties and use. We learn how to identify types of soil and then describe them and compare them to other types of soil.<br />

My "Science Sentence Starter" freebie is one of my most downloaded products. Wellllllll, since it is so popular, I decided that it deserved a facelift and an update! (And don't worry, it is still free!) Here it is:</div>

Whenever I teach <a href="http://frogsandcupcakes.blogspot.com/search/label/technology%20camp" target="_blank">Technology Camp</a>, I want the kids to have fun but I also want them to learn and have a great educational experience. On the first day, we discuss how we are all scientists and talk a lot about what scientists do. We also discuss how scientists share their findings with others. To introduce how scientists can speak with others, I use one of my favorite things--QR CODES!!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made each sentence starter a QR code. The students use an iPad to scan each code and then record the sentence (if you use the recording sheet on the left) or a missing word from the sentence (if you use the recording sheet on the right).</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
(This also introduces the kids to using QR codes because most of them have not had experience with them before they come to camp.) They always LOVE this activity and it is WAY more fun that just reading the sentences together, one by one. After everyone has had a chance to scan and record, we then discuss each sentence starter and when/how we can use them. I print and laminate a copy of the sentence starters and display them for the rest of the week. We use the sentence starters in our discussions about our experiments/investigations and in our class discussions. Love them. Here are two examples of how students use them in their camp science journal:</div>

Don't you just love "a little less than medium"??! Lol. Anywho, the sentences can really help scaffold their thinking and explain just what they are trying to say. Click below to download your free copy: </div>
