I've been busy...

Time seems to keep slipping by on me.  It's already February, and vacation will shortly be upon us.  I can't say that I'm not excited about having a break, that's for sure!  Along with keeping up with the normal day to day classroom tasks, I've been working hard on getting some more activities put together for my students to use during math workstations.  We still need lots of practice with our multiplication facts, and multi-step problem solving as well.  I created my Penguin Comparisons for my third graders to practice both of these skills at once.  I love how cute it turned out!
Over the weekend there were some pretty incredible sales going on over at TpT...did you all stock up?  I ended up checking out-twice!  Just don't tell the hubby! ;)  Along with my fabulous TpT purchases I took advantage of the awesome sale that KPM Doodles is having until the 14th- 50% off!  Can we say yes please?  As soon as I saw her Valentine Monsters I had to have them.  Then it came time to decide what to make with them.  My son was a great inspiration with this one.  He suggested making a game where the students have to use a code to determine what math problems they would be solving, and voila!  Creature Code Multiplication Monsters were born!

I love all of her graphics, they are seriously adorable! Both of these games are up in my TpT store if you're interested, and only $2 a piece!  I'd love to hear if your students enjoy them as much as mine.  What's your favorite way to practice multiplication facts with your students?
The other project I was working on was giving my Contractions Hearts Mini Pack a facelift.  I've updated the graphics, as well as added a contractions memory game for additional practice.

Well, that is definitely all for now...it's time for bed!  Have a great rest of the week!
