Well, hello!  Another (super hot!) week of summer is wrapping up, but not before you scoop up this week's surprise freebie!  You must, I insist :)  And while you're here, you might was well snag the exclusive blog reader's extra goodie to go along with the game!

5,000 TpT Follower Celebration and a Monster Mash {Make 10} FREEBIE

I'm so excited!  And I just can't hide it...I'm about to loose control and I think I like it :)  {Go ahead, sing along :) }

My little TpT store is about to hit 5,000 followers!  Woot Woot!  It's pretty exciting :)  I started posting products on TpT back in September of 2011 when I just had quit my teaching job, not knowing what it would bring.  Now here I am, almost 4 years later and I can't even being to describe how TpT has changed my life!  Stay tuned for some fun coming up!  If you don't already follow me on TpT, facebook, or twitter, be sure to follow soon so you don't miss out on any of the fun!

In the meantime - here's a quick freebie for you that I put together on this rainy morning here in Rochester, NY :)  

I was looking for an excuse to use these adorable monster clip art graphics that I downloaded for my monster classroom theme I made earlier this month, and this cute game did the trick :)

Click the pic above to download.  Don't need this game now?  No worries, it will always be in my math games archives under "Addition."

Throw Back Thursday {Spring Time Roll and Cover}

Can we just pretend Thursday is the new Friday?

If not, then I guess we can settle for a Throw Back Thursday that includes a freebie, right?  Sure.

Tomorrow is the first day of spring {yippee!!} so I thought it was only fitting to share this fun math game that I created a while back to help us get in the spring-time mood!

Snag it now by clicking on the pic above {it's also always available in my math games archives}

Enjoy and shout it out in the comments if you give it a whirl!

100th Day of School

Happy Monday, friends!  I hope you had a great weekend.  We enjoyed dinner with friends (baby-less) on Friday, a busy Saturday of errands, and then my hubby and I were part of a concert at our church on Sunday.

I'm actually happy that it's Monday.  With such a busy weekend, I'm ready to get back into the daily groove.

AND - I'm REALLY looking forward to finishing (fingers crossed) my colonial unit by the end of the week!  It's coming together very nicely!

Can't wait to show you all the details!

So - have you celebrated your 100th day of school year?  It's getting close for the kiddos around here, so I wanted to share a fun game you can play with your kids on your 100th day of school.

It's called "Close to 100"

Students roll a pair of a dice three times and add up the numbers to see who can get the closest to 100.

It's great practice in number sense, addition (with and without regrouping) and subtraction (with and without regrouping).

Throw in a little friendly peer-to-peer competition and you've got yourself a winner!

You can find this freebie game here with the complete set of directions.  It will also be always available in Math Games Tab under "number sense."

Enjoy, my friends!
