Lucky as a Leprechaun!
Saint Patrick's Day is Wednesday, and lucky for you, there are loads of reading and math activities in the Seasonal File Cabinet. Start with a Read N Roll activity and the Word Challenge during literacy. Leprechaun Luck (probability) and the St. Pat's Day Puzzlers will jazz up your math class.

 | Finally, use the Lucky as a Leprechaun teambuilder to reflect on ways we are lucky. Begin this activity by reading the statement at the top of the page and asking your class to brainstorm reasons they feel lucky. Have each student write his or her name in the cloud and write one reason they feel lucky in each coin. After they color the page, ask them to take turns sharing what they wrote with their team.

Summer Workshop Extravaganza!
Get ready for three exciting workshops this summer! No matter where you live, I have an option for you!
Live in or near NC? Plan to attend my summer workshops the week of July 13th through 15th. Registration information is available on the Workshop Overview page. No more school funds this year? No problem! You can use the Payment Authorization Form to pay with next year's staff development funds. Workshops include:
- Innovative Approaches to Literacy Instruction
- The Dynamic Duo Math Workshop
- Making Math Easy
 Live outside of NC? I'm excited to announce that educator and consultant Pat Calfee is taking my workshops on the road! She has recently retired from the NC public school system and is fully trained to teach the Dynamic Duo math workshop and the Innovative Approaches literacy workshop. Read about Pat on my Consultants page, and let me know if you are interested in having her present a workshop in your area. |
Plural Noun Task Cards  | Plural Noun Showdown
Cooperative Learning Review
No matter the age, it seems that almost all students have difficulty forming plural nouns. I have created Plural Noun Showdown as a fun way to practice this skill. Each student needs a dry erase board or small chalkboard. Task cards are stacked in the center of the team and students alternately write the nouns and show them to their team to check answers. I'm currently working on a Mini Pack with full directions and answer keys. At the time you read this, it may already be posted online. If not, check back later today. One set of Plural Noun Task Cards are available as a free download in the Language Arts File Cabinet.

Leprechaun Luck Probability Game
Math Fun with Lucky Charms
Leprechaun Luck is a fun partner game based on the "Seed of Chance" activity in Math Stations for Middle Grades. Instead of seeds, the players (leprechauns) use Lucky Charms cereal for game pieces. Mastering the game involves strategy, knowledge of probability, and a bit of luck! You can find it in the Seasonal File Cabinet.

Mastering Math Facts Answer Keys
Download Corrected Keys  | It was recently brought to my attention that some of the Answer Keys in Mastering Math Facts contained errors. In the process of trying to find those errors, I discovered that for a short time I was selling a version on Teachers Pay Teachers that didn't have any answers at all! I've corrected the errors and uploaded the Answer Keys to the sidebar on the Mastering Math Facts page. Scroll to the bottom and you'll find them there. I've also made sure that the version being sold on TpT is the most current version with Answer Keys. Sorry for this inconvenience!
