Flashback #3 and a Giveaway

So, it's already Saturday...totally missed blogging yesterday but that's not going to stop me from flashing back!  Link up to tell us about your week in review!

It's kind of tough for me to do these week in reviews right now since my fabulous student teacher has now picked up everything, but I will show you a new activity she incorporated into our subtraction lessons this week.

This pin is from Mrs. T's First Grade Class, so hop on over to her blog to read about her post on this idea. 

Personally, I thought it was brilliant!  What teacher doesn't have a billion ziploc baggies in her cabinet already??  Such an easy manipulative to make and will REALLY help those who struggle with counting back.  Since our class is second grade, my student teacher used gallon-sized baggies so there was room to make the number line go all the way through 20.  Love, love, love!

Well, that's it for this week.  I'm on my way to Columbia to watch my #6 GAMECOCKS take on the #5 Dawgs!  Let's go Cocks!!  Tune into ESPN to see College Gameday from the best campus in the land...maybe you'll see me! ;)

Before you link up, hop on over to Owl Inspire You (remember, the budding blogger from this week?) to participate in her first giveaway....a $20 gift card to Lakeshore Learning!!  I sure wish we had one of those stores around here, but I do love to order from them!  Soooo many fabulous goodies!

  2. I may have to try this number line idea. I think it would really help any student form a concrete understanding of subtraction or addition for that matter.

    I love Friday Flashback! Thanks for offering the chance to link up!
