Here are some pictures of the final product.

Place Value Lapbook for the Common Core Classroom
(NBT.1., NBT.2, NBT3.)

This is a cute lapbook I created that uses really cute clipart purchased from Scrappin Doodle. Please download the preview file to see what the final product will look like.
I have included the following first grade Common Core Standards but I have also included place value pieces for those who teach hundreds as well.

Standards: Common Core Math NBT.1, NBT.2, & NBT.3

Understand place value:

MCC1.NBT.1 Count to 120, starting at any number less than 120. In this range, read and write numerals and represent a number of objects with a written numeral.

MCC1.NBT.2 Understand that the two digits of a two-digit number represent amounts of tens and ones. Understand the following as special cases:
a. 10 can be thought of as a bundle of ten ones – called a “ten.”
b. The numbers from 11 to 19 are composed of a ten and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine ones.
c. The numbers 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 refer to one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine tens (and 0 ones).

MCC1.NBT.3 Compare two two-digit numbers based on meanings of the tens and ones digits, recording the results of comparisons with the symbols <, >, and =.

Directions:
I have included detailed explanations on each of the pages to explain how to incorporate these base ten pieces to create a lapbook. You can also look at the finished product to see what it should look like at the end. I used a file folder and folded it to make three sections. Then I added all the components include to display knowledge of NBT.1 (place value).

This unit was created for a first grade classroom, therefore, the sample only includes ones and tens, but I have included manipulatives up to one hundreds for the upper grades. I have tried to include multiple pieces of each picture so you should have enough and extra to complete this project.

Have fun!

Last Take, Movie & Popcorn Party Keepsake

for Students!
{TPT}

This creativity will be great to use on the last day of school. 

Show a movie to your class and provide popcorn. 

While students are watching a movie, take each students' picture. Paste the picture in the middle of the Movie Poster. Students can keep this as a keepsake to remember their school year.

Students can then use the writing page to reflect on what they liked most about their last day of school or even school year. 

This activity can also be done before the last day of school as well.

Check out these cool pictures we took to place inside the picture frames for keepsakes! 

The class and I did some research on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Ca. We went on a virtual field trip using GoogleEarth. It took us to the very from of the Kodak Theatre. This was a really cool experience. Then we found pictures of famous people like Michael Jackson, Shreck, and many other actors, singers, directors, etc. They also had pictures of them with their star for becoming famous. So this sparked an idea! I had

 each student created a silver star using silver glitter and a star template that I drew by hand. Inside the star we drew a circle and the student wrote what they were going to be famous for when they grow up.
Ex: #1 Teacher
I drew a little apple.
Then underneath that, the student drew a symbol to represent what they were going to be famous for.
I had a room mom set-up this background to take pictures of each student and then I printed out copies from CVS. Then we taped the pictures onto the template from my TPT creativity!
My class just loved their last day of school as they were
First Grade Movie Stars!
