Buttons Buttons COMBO

Hi,
Inspired by the book Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons, I recently posted a freebie book at TPT and TEACHERS NOTEBOOK, to help my students as they learn to read, write and count numbers. I found my students to have trouble easing into the TEEN numbers so when I designed the book, I removed the pages with numbers 1 and 4. This also helped maintain the formatting of the Easy to Assemble books. If you're not familiar with the format, the books print out READY to go to the copy machine, copy and fold. There's no need to shuffle papers or make excessive  folds. I know from my own teaching how much time all of that takes. Especially when making books for two sessions of Kindergartners.
So to try and accommodate requests for numbers 1-10 AND provide support for students as the move into learning to work with the teen numbers ( 11 & 12), I combined all of the BUTTONS BUTTONS books in my files into a COMBO pack.  I hope this helps ;-)
Please head over to my TPT or TEACHERS NOTEBOOK shops to get your updated copy….by the way….yes, its FREE! ;-)

Happy Teaching…..

Getting Punchy!

This year I am finding I need to spend a great deal of time working with my students on fine motor development. It feels like each year this skill needs to be worked on more than the previous year. In the meantime the Standards are waiting to be taught along with all the other things we work on in our 2 1/2 hours together. I tried to think of ways to develop fine motor skills while working on the standards at the same time.....no, that's not what's making me punchy...;-) But I am fusing the skills together with my PUNCH IT packets. With the Counting pack the kids work on Number Recognition (1-20) and counting objects !:1.  The kids cut out the number card. they read the number then use a one hole punch to count out the numbers. What fun right?
The Letter Sounds pack helps with fine motor again with punching! They cut out the picture, say the name then punch the corresponding letter to match. Then glue the pictures into a booklet in ABC order. There are two booklets, one with the letters lightly printed to scaffold those students that need a little boost. There are blank pages to challenge your more capable students.
Then there's the Syllables pack. There are two booklets in this packet. Each has 22 pictures for students to say the word, clap/count the syllables then punch the numeral that matches the number of syllables.
All the packets are great for Center Work and for Homeschoolers as well.
If you're looking for a multi skill builder...then these packs are going to give your centers a powerful PUNCH!!
