April Freebies and Teaching Resources


Can you believe that it's almost April? I just updated my Seasonal page on Teaching Resources with freebies and teaching materials for April, including my April Mini Pack. You'll also find activities for Earth Day, Pay It Forward Day, National Poetry Month, and more!
New! Plural or Possessive? Task Cards and More!  (CCSS Aligned) 
 

Yay! I finally finished a new Mini Pack! I've actually been planning this Plural or Possessive pack for YEARS (no kidding) because I know how difficult it is for kids to distinguish between plural and possessive nouns. This is a beginner level packet designed for grades 1 through 3 and is closely aligned with those standards. However, it would also be a great review for 4th graders and would be helpful for special ed students. You can preview the entire packet online in my TpT store.

Bright Ideas Blog Hop
 
Do you know about the Bright Ideas Blog Hop? It was hosted by almost 200 hundred bloggers, and each one of us shared a useful teaching tip for the classroom. I shared tips for using camp chairs in the classroom because I found them to be so versatile and useful. You can read the other blog posts by starting with this post on Corkboard Connections and using the links at the bottom to find articles of interest. There's also a Bright Ideas Pinterest Board you can follow!

You can read about it on Corkboard Connections and learn how we benefited from a little southern hospitality! 
A "Smart" Way to 
Motivate Students
 
Guest Blog Post
by Tabitha Carro

I'm happy to welcome Tabitha Carro of Flapjack Educational Resources as a guest blogger on Corkboard Connections. Tabitha loves to create freebies and videos to explain how to use them. She has a unique twist on the tried and true ice cream party motivational strategy. She has her students build their ice creams on the Smartboard! In her blog post, "A Smart Way to Motivate Students," Tabitha shares everything you need including the Smartboard file and directions. If you don't have a Smartboard, you can easily adapt the idea using strategies that she suggests in the video. Some of you may be familiar with the ice cream motivational strategy that I presented in Mastering Math Facts; Tabitha's strategy would fit in perfectly with the Mastering Math Facts system!
