Planning Playtime

I had the pleasure of reviewing an awesome product today!

Today I downloaded "1st Grade Math and Literacy Bundle - November" from Amy who owns "Planning Playtime" on Teachers Pay Teachers. Basically, Amy just asked me for some feedback on her product, but I liked it so much that I wanted to share it with you. 

This bundle has 23 pages to it and they are beautifully done! The math pages include: single digit addition, subtraction, more and less (fill in a number that is 1 more than the one given and then also l less), addition word problems, an addition dice game, counting by 2s and 5s, odd and even, and recognizing numbers in word form. The literacy pages include: word practice, reading sentences to determine if they are true or false, beginning sounds, word family discrimination, color by word family, and three writing prompts related to Thanksgiving.

My excitement for these pages led me to immediately print them and get my son to work on some schooling for the day. 

 This is Matthew working on the counting by 5s page. I liked that there were a few written in so that he did not get too lost when counting by 5s. His number writing still is not that great, so it really takes him some time to think about what he has to do to make each of the numbers. Halfway through, I thought it would be best to write the numbers 1-9 at the top of the page just so that he could focus his attention on the task that was intended and not so much on trying to recall the formation of numbers.
This addition sheet was nice as well. He counted the different pictures to determine the addends and then wrote the sums. You can see on this page where I wrote the numbers again. This practice was much needed!

Amy has many more wonderful products for students in PreK-5th grade, so please click over and check her store out!

  1. Thank you so much for sharing! What a cute little guy. My son was just on the couch next to me practicing his letters. It's fun to do a bit of schooling with them at home.
    I just have to add, how fun is your table cloth?! I need one of those for next year. :)
