When I was working on prefix and suffix activities this past weekend, I couldn't find a ton of center activities online so, I just made my own! I'm pretty excited about how the pack turned out.
Here's a pic... if you click it, it takes you to my Teacher's Notebook Store where there are a few more images:
So, to enter to win this set, just leave a comment telling about your week... BUT... include a word that contains a prefix or a suffix! :)
I'll choose 2 winners on Friday to each win the pack! It has 31 pages with 4 great games for students to practice identifying prefixes and suffixes and attaching meaning to words with prefixes and suffixes. And the graphics set is so stinkin' cute!
My word for today... painful! I started doing the Biggest Loser cardio workout this week and my legs are KILLING me! And a word for school for the week... eventful... two hour delay yesterday, one crazy kiddo today, field trip tomorrow.
That's it! I am hopeful that I will get to read some comments filled with happiness!
My week is hopeful as well! I have a student who's mom just agreed to testing being done so we can do our best at teaching her son! So exciteable (does that count!?) :)

My week has been WONDERFUL! This week I've gotten to go and sub at the school I taught at for two years! Seeing all of my previous students just made me so happy! They were all full of happiness and questions as to where I've been. They all thought I had retired! LOL! I told them I was to young to be retired! :)

Sleepless describes my week...With the 3 day weekend and celebrating my Birthday I'm so tired and haven't been able to get a good nights sleep this week. PS. I love your center activity!! :)
ReplyDeleteOur class is so excited we are getting our new student teacher tomorrow. I hope I can postpone the inevitable hyperactivity that will be waiting for her tomorrow.

My week has been full of productivity! We had a successful teacher's workshop on Monday, my kiddos returned ready to learn, and I am relaxing on a Wednesday evening instead of playing "catch-up"! :) P.S. Your center looks WONDERFUL!!!
ReplyDeleteI "happily" enjoyed only having four days at work this week! =)

My classroom will be useless without this wonderful center set. I want to win so badly… If I don’t win, I will be so unhappy! =( Thank you for this delightful give-a-way!
ReplyDeleteLove this unit. We are studying prefixes and suffixes right now so this is perfect! Have a great evening! =)

My word for tonight….precook! I’m cooking a frozen, precooked pizza for dinner tonight because I can’t muster enough energy to make a decent meal. A word to describe my class today…unruly! Are anyone else’s kids a little crazed this week? I still adore them but I’m sleepier than ever!

Oopsie...just forgot to tell you a big THANK YOU for making the packet and having a giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI am cheerfully writing this as I'm sipping my wine because of the unpleasant day I had with some very excitable, uncooperative, and boisterous children! Don't misunderstand, I love my cuties but my they were willful today! Thanks for this bountiful give away!

Seeing this EXTRAordinary post just made my not so fabulous day! We were suppose to learn about prefixes the last two weeks and begin suffixes for the next two weeks. Without textbookS, technology(smart board), or picture bookS sums up how I feel: I AM AN UNhappy teacher. I have looked everywhere online for first grade friendLY activities/ect., but they are far and few between! Not one student knew what a prefix was today, so I guess I am back to square one! Mrs. Bainbridge, I desperateLY need your ideas to REteach these conceptS! It would be oh so helpFUL!
ReplyDeleteThis week is super stressFUL because we were told last week to have running records completED on each student by 1/20 aka FRIDAY. I am a HOT Mess and only have parent volunteers the next two days for one hour at a time! I don't want to DISappoint my principal! Time to be flexible with lessons!
P.S. good luck with your workouts (:

Yay...awesome. I am laughing at Karen's comments...haha!! I had a small mishap this week when my spirited 4 year old jumped in the bed with me and asked if I wanted to snuggle. The problem? It was 7:30 a.m.....15 minutes after I would have usually left for school!!!! So, my day was far from uneventful!! I got dressed in 10 minutes and was out the door. :)
ReplyDeleteI reluctantly discussed with my kiddos today that some of of their penmanship is unreadable!

My week has been unfulfilling and frustrating. I just feel like I can never get it done and done right. I also have been ecxited about some of the things going right. Winning this would help, but honestly, I just need to buckle down and keep loving my kiddos! They are so cute!
ReplyDeleteAmazing pack! Teaching prefixes and suffixes is wonderful and makes my students' writing more enjoyable. Have a joyful night!

Overall my week has been joyFUL! I have a student teacher and she has absolutely made me remember that 2 hands are better than one! However I must say trying to get a five day week completed in four has been a bit stressFUL at times.

Unbelievable! My husband has been gone for a week, I have 2 kids under 3 at home and a dog! :) Fun times here (For real)...and now SNOW!!! 7-8 inches starting Friday and ending Sat! I just hope my hubby's flight doesn't get cancelled! Happy almost Friday! :)
ReplyDeleteWow...I thought it would be an easy week with the holiday Monday, but...I got a new student today, it is the 100th day of school, I supervised a reassigned 6th grader in my first grade class, had two boys get in a fight, and had one boy pee on the playground. It has to improve though!
ReplyDeleteThis week has been unbelievably busy! But, at the same time extremely helpful to me as a teacher because I had the chance to sit down with my teammates and review our benchmark data and then revamp our program, :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful packet! You do an awesome job have a great rest of the week.
ReplyDeleteThis week has been remarkably busy, but I am enjoying every minute:)
ReplyDeleteI think it's absolutely remarkable that you are having this giveaway today. We too are working on prefixes and suffixes in my classroom!
ReplyDeleteI am really hopeful that my kiddos will finish publishing their "How to Blow a Bubble" piece this week, so we can move on to "How to Make a Coke Float" next week!! Yum!!
ReplyDeleteIt has been a stressful week for me, so I am thankful that it's almost Friday! :)
ReplyDeleteI am fully PREpared to win this unit, but if not, I will gladLY continue following your blog for more great ideas!

I have had a stressful week - working on report cards, preparing to be evaluated and host the staff meeting in my room to share my best practice (both on the same day) and starting a TLCP unit on point of view! Thank goodness it is a PD day tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI am fillED with lots of joy and happiNESS to see a fun new unit of prefixes and suffixes. My second graders will gladLY use these actvitiES in my reading workshop time. Hurray!
ReplyDeleteOne word - Hopeful: Hopeful that I have a smooth transition back into my classroom after this maternity leave. Hopeful that my dad gets good news from the doctors today! Hopeful that my oldest daughter wins her basketball game. Another word: Sleepless . . . I have had many sleepless nights the past fews week.

It has been a busy week, but uneventful. My students have been unbelieveably well behaved. We have just finished learning about suffixes, so I would love to have this for a review. Thanks for all your great ideas.
ReplyDeleteMy week has been pretty good so far, although I am home with my UNwell daughter today. I have been UNable to find new prefix and suffix lessons and ideas, so thanks for your hard work! You are UNbelievabLY amazing!!
ReplyDeleteMy week has been horrible. My week started out beginning to administer the useless DIBELS testing. Then my happ playful 1 year old ate a poisionus plant and became very unhappy. Nedles to say Tuesday night was horrible. discovered today while driving baby home from the doctor that I had missed my appointment yesterday. I was vry hopefull that I could reschedule. it usually takes a year. Got one for next week. have given DIBELS to 70 3rd graders, 70 2nd graders so far. Need a break. Hope the week gets better. hcarpenter@ebrschools.org
ReplyDeleteOooo.... I would love to win; I never win anything! This week has been fairly uneventful, although I guess that's a good thing! (Do I get bonus points for using a word with a prefix AND a suffix?!)
ReplyDeleteamynovellino@hotmail.com
The week has been rather uneventful, except for the snow today. I hope all buses safely delivered all of my students. I'll be up in the predawn hours shoveling I suppose. Report cards go hope tomorrow. The kids will be rather excited and antsy.
ReplyDeleteI hope your fieldtrip goes well! This week has been very cold...-15 this morning drivING to school! Yuck! Also, lots of sick kids and lots of inside recess. Not fun!! Spring has to be around the corner right! Thanks for all your hard work and sharING!
ReplyDeleteThis week is overwhelming and anything but relaxing. I am getting ready to begin my student teaching placement on Monday and just had orientation today which means I am two seconds away from having an anxiety attack. Love this freebie though and my kiddies would love it too! Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteOh this looks great! I am full of happiNESS because tomorrow is a teacher workday and I will be workING all day in my room! :)

My week has been unusually busy, as it was an assessment week. But... tomorrow (Friday) is a half day so I am hopeful that I will have a very productive (yet, quiet) afternoon!
ReplyDeleteThanks, as always! We always seem to lack in the suffixes and prefixes department!
I've been out sick since last Tuesday! Strep last week and a stomach bug with fever this week :( I got a new student on Friday that I haven't even met yet! Winning this would certainly make me feel better!

This week has seemed so UNbelievABLY long!! It's been three days, with a half day tomorrow and yet sigh... done complaining :)
ReplyDeleteOn another note - testing & assessing can be so stressful for the kiddos... Math has been really rocky for the past unit, we finally caught on and then bombed the unit test today! I guess we'll be working on testing skills for now!
I'm just thankFUL that tomorrow is Friday!! Wooohoo!
Have a wonderFUL last day of the week :)

well I have been working on report card so it has been a long week, found out a friend is really ill and a relative passed away. so it hasn't been a great week. mary at apopovic@primus.ca
ReplyDeleteI just love coming to your blog. I never know what I am going to find. I would love to win the suffix and prefix fun stuff. It is always done so beautifully. Thanks for all your posts.
ReplyDeleteI think your blog is the bombdigity. I have had an unpleasant 4 day week. Long weekend sick baby, then sick 4 year old, thank goodness for my mother-in-law.
ReplyDeleteMy students:: uncontrollable!! Well, only two of the precious ones.
We are doing suffixes now.. WOuld love to have completeness of the topic..
good luck on workout.
Our first late start on Tuesday because it was snowING. Tomorrow we have no school because of floodING. What a crazy week!

The First Grade Dream
my week was... eventFUL! We had Monday off, MLK stuff Tuesday, no planning time Wednesday, 100th day Thursday, and ESOL testing so I was missing a ton of my kiddos Friday... and today was also painFUL... I tweaked my knee before Christmas, and the weather we're having is making it hurt (I'm saying it's the weather 'cause I don't want to have to go to the doctor!!) I'm looking forward to an UNeventFUL weekend!
ReplyDeletehoping for a restful weekend after a busy, early- dismissal day. So much to accomplish...so little time. Would love to use the creative prefix/suffix pack for amazing students.
ReplyDeleteThis week started out joyous with a day off work but ending in heartbreak. Our union announced the proposed concessions we will have to make in a late day email today. In addition to so many amazing teachers losing their jobs, those that remain may not be able to afford to stay. Your give away would be a welcome follow up to such a discouraging end to the week.
