Weekly Math Magic for CCSS

Hey Friends,
The buzz about Common Core standards are on the lips of just about every teacher I talk to, including my own! In an effort to really get familiar with the CCSS for primary math, I've created a way to make it painless and effortless!  My Weekly Math Magic is a great way to introduce, practice and review skills all year long. The activities include almost every CCSS for second grade, but there is overlap to grades 1-3.

Click {HERE} for a freebie to try and {HERE} for set one. Additional sets in 9 week increments are coming very, very soon! 

About the Author freebie!

Hey, hey, hey!  Did you see my "About the Author" free writing paper?

I've shared it at my Teacher's Notebook shop and you can head to my blog to find out more!  My students use it to write about themselves for books they write in class!

I've shared primary, intermediate, and even a fillable document so your kiddos can type their own!

I hope you'll head over and pick up a copy!
