The Dreaded Double-Digit Subtraction, Word Work, and a PBS Freebie

Okay.  This post is a random mess.  Just warning you!  So, we started double-digit subtraction the week before last.  Every year, I think they are never going to get it!  It is such a tedious process to teach this skill; therefore, I dread introducing it every year.  But they are finally getting it!  I have made them repeat a subtraction rhyme so much that they are probably dreaming about it at night!  I took some pics of what we have been doing to learn the process, but I forgot my camera at school!  I created a little packet with some posters, a song, and a rhyme to reinforce double-digit subtraction with and without regrouping  if you want to check it out below.  I cannot take credit for the rhyme or song.  I just had to make some visuals to post for my kiddos.

I have some for double-digit addition with and without regrouping, too.

Next week, we will be ready for the story Nutik, the Wolf Pup.  We will be working on variant vowels au and aw.  I made a word work packet for my classroom, just because I don't think Treasures word work is too kid-friendly.  Plus, the class I have this year needs extra support in spelling and phonics.  More so, than any group I have ever had.  You can find it below.  There is a free word sort in the preview file if you want to pick that up.

I have mentioned before that our school is a Positive Behavior Support school.  We were asked to display posters with pictures that go along with each rule.  We have three school rules: be respectful, be responsible, and be prepared.  You can grab those below for FREE if you are interested. 





Have a great rest of the weekend from the Lemonade Stand Teachers!
