We Teach Like A Rockstar said...: Can "cuteness" get any cuter? The best thing is the students will love using these products to learn instead of just paper and pencil. How creative you are! Thanks for sharing!!!; June 27, 2012 at 11:41 PM

Anonymous said...: Thanks to your post, I picked up the monster cards, cupcake cards, and even some super cute pirate cards in the dollar section of Target today. I thought I might use gold coins as the counters for the pirate cards. Thanks for the inspiration! :) Love your stuff!

ilovetotchkinder said...: Kim,
What sort of counting game will you have the kids do with the monster cards and cupcake cards? Will they roll dice or use number cards? I'm thinking about using them in a math station and it would be independent or with a partner. What are your thoughts?
Thanks,

Kim and Megan said...: Robin,
I am going to use them to do my workjobs. I did several blogposts about them some time ago. Follow this link to the first one and then there are several more posts that follow.

ilovetotchkinder said...: Hi Kim,
Thanks so much for answering my question! I went back to the Workjobs posts that I had missed and devoured each one! :) I am soooo excited to begin this process next year. Can you please tell me how you store everything and keep it organized? It sounds as if the children get to choose the work mat and counters that they want to use, but how much choice do you really let them have?
Thanks so much. I wish I was heading to I Teach K in Vegas this year...got to go last year and had the best experience! Have a wonderful time!!
Thanks so much...

Kim and Megan said...: Robin, I store each workjob in a baggie. Then I put the baggies in a basket. I usually have 6-8 workjobs out at a time. Then, I just rotate them in and out so that the kids don't get board with the same ones.; July 12, 2012 at 5:43 PM
