Here's to 2023!

It's now a new year, and it’s exciting to think of all the possibilities! I am incredibly passionate about education and interested in creating more educational posts about instructional methods and strategies, STEM instruction, student support, valuable resources and tools, as well as my experiences and innovative approaches to learning in the classroom. Let's discuss and learn together how we can make 2023 an amazing year for education! #STEMInstruction #Goals2023

SMART Board Version-Locating Items On A Grid-Activities for K-3

Click on the picture to download this SMART Board Activity!

*Please leave feedback for downloading this cute little FREEBIE!

This download is a fun way to get kids to practice locating items on a grid. This activity goes along with a SMART Board lesson, so you MUST have that software! Just like the PDF version in my TPT store, students can NOW move the birds and other cute pictures into different locations on a variety of grids. Then, the class has to tell where the items are located on the grid. You can print the PDF version and use it alongside this SMART Board activity and/or just print up the blank pages to use workstation if you wanted. I ended up printing them as posters and putting them in workstations :)
As always, I hope this is helpful to you and your students enjoy practicing the skills of finding locations on a grid!

Busy Little Bee

You could say that I've been doing some "Spring Cleaning" and going through all my old resources and updating them. I will probably spend the rest of the week just uploading new-and-improved versions of my "oldies but goodies" as well as add some new resources into the mix!
Many of these changes have come from feedback I've received from each of you however, since going to the TCEA technology conference last week, I am FIRED UP and wanting the make my products even better. With that in mind, I will try and set up just one post filled with all the updates and then another with all the new resources.
Be sure to find some FREEBIES in there of course, because you KNOW I love to share!
Until then, here are my QR Code links (thanks to unitag)!
