Differentiation Cubes

I finally completed a new product!!! 

I had been working on it when school started and then just got swamped. 
This Thanksgiving break has helped me complete it. 

Now I have 4 sets of Differentiation Cubes available, 

What I love about this is they are challenging and also work for intervention. 

They work great for small group and math stations, and are exceptional for RTI groups. 






Here's an example of the place value cubes. 
Easy to print and make. 
Print on colored paper, laminate and fold. (Card stock is too thick) 
They are sturdy and last really well.
I have a personal scotch laminator and its thick, so I definitely recommend that. 



Each cube has a different question, but uses the same numbers. 
For addition, subtraction, and multiplication fact families are included. Number lines and even writing in math. Each has a word problem too. Students are going to love them, but also use their thinking skills.

Currently November


Finally getting to link up with one of my faves, Farley from Oh Boy 4th Grade for CURRENTLY!!!!
I am actually relieved October is over. Friday was the most stressful day of my teaching career. Red Ribbon Week, Science Vocabulary Parade, Halloween, full moon and then throw a tornado warning and flash flooding in there. Hours in severe weather mode against the wall with 40 5th graders, no thank you. Let's move on to November please. 


With the possibility of only one more baseball game this season, we do immerse ourselves in football too. Football has been on since 8am today! 

We didn't decorate for Halloween until yesterday, and that is only because we had a Halloween party. Well, it is already packed up and in the garage. I'm over it people! 

Even with an extra hour of sleep, I am feeling lazy and sleepy. Of course, I have tons to do. 
I'm a procrastinator though.... 

Anyone else have kids that only grow up and not out? Both my little ones are the same size in the waists as they were last year but, their legs are about 2 inches longer!!!! Of course, they have no long pants for colder weather and I know its coming. (Not fast enough for me though) I have to find time to get them pants that don't make them look like they are waiting for the next big flood! 

I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving. We are actually travelling this break, so the entire week! and by then, I will ready to eat as much pumpkin pie as my mother in law would like to make! 

Be sure to link up with Farley and have some fun connecting with other teacher bloggers!

Sparking Motivation: Science Vocabulary

Halloween, full moon and severe weather. 
MOST STRESSFUL DAY OF  TEACHING, EVER! 
That was my day yesterday. I not only took a nap when I got home, we all went to bed early. 

Before our severe weather lock down, we had a super fun Science Vocabulary Parade. At my school, the week of Halloween we motivate kids to get excited about Science by dressing up as a science word. I have only participated as a mom in the past. Now, that I work there, I got to see all the excitement and awesome costumes. Our parents are so creative and the whole school gets involved! It's gotten so big we have two parades, K-2 and 3-5. 

Here's some pictures. I wish I had more, there were so many amazing costumes. 

















My team were the "Energy Witch Sisters". I was light energy. Unfortunately because of the severe weather situation we dealt with, we never got a team photo. 

Want to be inspired some more? Check out our school's Facebook Page. There are some really great pictures there too! 

Also, be sure to check out more motivational ideas from 
Joanne over at Head Over Heels For Teaching


And last of all,
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
