February Math & ELA Printables

Having these February printables for Math and ELA at the ready is so fantastic! Recently we changed our get-back-from-lunch-just-before-math-starts routine...and my class is LOVING the Math Crunch!

Our routine used to be "Ways To Make" the number of the day using addition, subtraction, tallies, coins, etc...Now it's one of the Math Crunch Pages that a student distributes to table spots as we are lining up for lunch.

If they finish it and math hasn't begun quite yet, then they flip to the back side and work on Ways to Make until we begin.

Love this new routine!

If you're interested in buying them together, they are bundled at a discount...

The ELA pack has a variety of February related printables...Groundhogs Day, Presidents Day, Valentines Day & Dental Health.

The Math pack has a variety of February related printables...Groundhogs Day, Valentines Day & Dental Health.

Another big help in my classroom is this Monthly Printable companion...specifically for Part Part Whole pack, which is also found in the Skill Builder Series.

Go download this little Football Printables freebie - ties in great to the Super Bowl!

Hope you're staying warm!!!

January MATH No-Prep Printables

Since we adore the ELA Crunch collection so much, I decided to create Math packs, too! These January No-Prep Printables are themed with New Years, Martin Luther King, Jr & Winter. They are so versatile and my students love them!

Students are quickly able to become independent with these, which frees me up to:

confer

intervention

assess

wrap up loose ends with students who have been absent

If you'd like to peek at the contents of the ELA pack, head over to this blog post {HERE}.

You'll notice that I included coin identification and counting...despite money not being a specific CCSS...it is a very important skill to teach first graders to prepare them for second grade standards on money.
