As a former 2nd grade teacher, I know that is SURE to get your kids' attention!
I just added "Suit up, Santa" to my shops last night and will be using it as a review for my 3rd graders in December but it is specifically designed for 2nd grade language standard L.2.2c Use an apostrophe to form contractions and frequently occurring possessives.
You can win a copy! All you have to do is leave your e-mail if you'd like one! I'll choose a random winner tomorrow with my super official and technical system which I like to call "Hey Hubby! Choose a number!".
The DREADED ERROR...
If you downloaded my Christmas Around the World flippy books, please log back in to your dashboard at TpT or TN and redownload it. The BRAZIL flippy book had an error. It is fixed now, thanks to the world's greatest husband... sorry!!!!!
Now for a super cool math freebie!
On Thanksgiving, my mom brought over holiday crackers.
You know- this kind of a thing...
Pull it and *pop* out flies goodies!
We got the typical jokes and paper headbands... my dad got an "awesome" ring toss game... but my hubby truly hit the jackpot... at least in the eyes of this gal who is always finding ways to "do school".
He got some cards that, with a little bit of mental math, can help you "read someone's mind".
And I KNEW my 3rd graders would go NUTS for this!
So... here they are. And here's how it works...
Pick any number.
Go ahead.
Write it down.
Now, find all of the cards that have your number on them (including the card you picked the number from) and add up the first number on the cards that DO have your number.
Was the answer you got from the addition your mystery number?
AWESOME!
Love that mental math!

I think this is great mental math that kids will want to do over and over because it's just too dang cool!
I'm off to splurge at TpT! Happy shopping (and SAVINGS) to you too!
Check out last week's post to see my favorite items and a linky you can get shopping ideas at too!
Well I hope your hubby choose number 1!
