These adorable candy bags are perfect to teach students one-to-one correspondence. Students place paper candy pieces (or m&ms if you're feeling extra fun!) on the numbered candy bags. There are optional "errorless" candy bags available where students can place one piece over one circle to count each number. Perfect for lower elementary and special education.

Use this poster to help your students learn how to identify if a word problem is calling for addition or subtraction. Print the chart as a poster to use as an interactive anchor chart with the large size word, or print as an independent worksheet with the smaller words. Use with my Word Problem task cards to expand the lesson and see their new skills in action by letting them sort the task cards! Clip art from Busy Bee Studio.

Students can color the pictures, cut the pieces apart, and reassemble them in numerical order on a template. Three designs are available: a soccer ball, monkey, and apple. Templates include those with numbers and those without for differentiation.

This bulletin board decoration will help students remember that they are in control of themselves: they control their actions, their words, their effort... And in doing so, they can make smart choices to reach their full potential. Product includes

Why do you need this?

Your students struggle to pay attention when reading or listening. They are wigglers who need something to keep them active in a positive way that encourages their learning. They have a hard time knowing what is important about a topic or a book, and they need specific prompts to know what to write and where to write it.

Prints in black and white so you can use colorful paper to save ink (if you desire).
