Common Core Jar Giveaway Time!

Hi friends!  We got back from Vegas yesterday and it was back to work today!  The trip was great!  A much needed break 🙂 We watched the comedian Gabriel Iglesias {Fluffy} and the Beatles Love Cirque Du Solei.  We also did a lot of shopping and good eating!
Me and the Hubby in Vegas!
 I decided it’s time for a giveaway!  When I started the Common Core last year I wanted to find a way to reinforce & review daily.  I came up with the idea of a Common Core questioning jar!  All of the standards are addressed in easy to read questions.  The questions are placed within the jar and you’re ready to review!   They are great for calendar time or those little snippets of down time throughout the day.  See examples of the questions below!  I have the questioning jars available for both  Math & ELA in Kindergarten and First Grade!

I will be giving away 3 Questioning Jar Bundles!  Choose Kindergarten or First Grade!  To enter leave a comment below including your email address!  The giveaway ends Wednesday 1/23.  Have a great week friends!

🥰🥰HIDDEN LETTERS.Here’s a super simple activity that takes minutes to set up! Write some letters on a page using a white crayon and then use watercolour paints to reveal the letters. As your child discovers a letter encourage them to say the sound..Alternatively you can replace the letters with CVC words or tricky (sight) words- whatever needs to be worked on. ☺️..........#phonics #phonicsfun #phonicsforkids #phonicsactivities #learningthroughplay #playideas #playathome #learnthroughplay #playmatters #earlyyears #earlylearning #playislearning #playbasedlearning #homeschool #homeschoolpreschool #homeeducation#preschoolactivity #preschoolathome #eyfs #eyfsideas #playtolearn #earlylearning101 #handsonlearning #activitiesforkids #earlychildhoodeducation #kidsatplay #inspiremyplay ...
