Crafting Quality Work for Michaels Create2Educate Sweepstakes!

Setting class expectations for quality work from the beginning of the school year is top priority in our class. But, this isn't our first teaching rodeo, so we know first hand that even 6 and 7 year olds can "mail it in sometimes".

Throwback Thursday ~ Math Fact Fluency

We started our summer day **letting** our own kids choose a timed math program from our TpT Shop...  They have got to memorize their math facts this summer, and it seemed the easiest and most fun way to get it done!  And, they had a blast..  They also agreed to practice every day from now until school starts... On only one condition... They would do it ONLY if we put them all on sale for you.  Stinkers! But, we're happy to oblige... So, now through June 30th you can grab any of our timed math ... VIEW POST
