THANKful for Freebies!

Thanksgiving will be here soon, and with that in mind, it's time to teach students all about the Holiday.

QR Code Fun!

I have never personally used QR Codes in a classroom setting but I do find that concept very interesting! I think that with as popular as QR Codes are in today's world, incorporating them into an educational setting just makes sense. 

Now, in order for any QR activity to work, you would need enough QR readers available for student use. This could prove to be a challenge since sometimes that technology is not available. Also, most likely younger students wouldn't necessarily have SmartPhones on them as frequently as older students would. 

Still, there are so many fun ways to utilize this technology. To find QR reader apps for SmartPhones, you can try one of the following sites: 


To create your own QR codes, try one of the following sites below: 
Once you've explored these sites, feel free to create your own fun! If you'd like to try out an activity using QR codes, before you begin creating your own, try out these FREE Resources listed below! Enjoy!

Freebie Re-visited!

I am re-sharing the link to my Dr. Seuss in the Elementary Computer Lab unit! Even though many classrooms wait 'til early March to really discuss and celebrate Dr. Seuss, I hope this unit will still be helpful.

It is for grades K-5 and it incorporates many popular books by Dr. Seuss.

Here is the link to the free download: Dr. Seuss!



Be sure to also check out the great Giveaway and Linky at Teaching Blog Roundup! 

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Pinteresting Digraphs...and a Request

Recently I began tutoring a little girl. She is super sweet! It seems that one of the main areas that I am seeing her struggle with are digraphs (blends). Thus, I decided to look up some great resources to help me help her. Below are links to many Pinterest resources regarding Digraphs.
 
However, if you know of any more ideas or resources, please let me know. I would love to hear them!
 
I also have a request. This is my 199th Blog post! The blog has also now officially hit over 30,000 views!! Thank you so much to all of you who read and support this blog. I could not have done it without you!
 
I will be posting a BIG giveaway to celebrate these milestones, before April ends. However, I am need of more contributions. Please click the link below if you are willing to contribute in any way. I thank you all in advance!
 
 
Have a wonderful day!

Hoppy Freebies!

Easter is this month. I personally do not like when Easter falls in March. Here in Missouri, we cannot guarantee warmer temperatures this time of year. Plus, it gives nothing to look forward to in April! Oh well.
Since Easter is approaching quickly, below are links to many Easter related freebies and online games. Enjoy!

Marching in with Leprechauns

I cannot believe it is almost March already! Where does the time go?
It's time to start thinking ahead about St. Patrick's Day. Many of us have Spring Breaks coming up, too, so it's important to plan ahead if we want to incorporate any St. Patrick's Day activities into the classroom.
Below I am including links to many free activities that I have found recently, regarding either March or St. Patrick's Day. I hope they are useful to many!
 
Be on the lookout soon, too, for a freebie or giveaway of some kind to celebrate my blog hitting 25,000 views!
 
Have a great day!
