Our first day of sixth grade is scheduled to begin soon! I've been working on planning for our first day traditions, and am making good progress. I am going to use the same "All About Me" pages as last year.
And as for our first day of school math graphing tradition, I am thrilled to have found some mid level Skittles math that includes graphing on the Teachers Pay Teachers (TPT) website.
We will probably get two years out of this packet as I may save some for next year (or later this year). Well worth the purchase price either way because I was fresh out of ideas, and this is such an important tradition! I came across some free Skittles math on the TPT site as well for younger students (scroll through to see different choices).** It's a great site, if you've not come across it before. LOTS of creative material! Of course, anyone out there reading is also welcome to use pages I've made in the past.
...So on with more planning!...
**I did come across some free Skittles Math elsewhere online, so I'll link those below in case anyone is interested. The TPT packet is perfect for us for this year, but there are even higher level math activities using Skittles out there! :-)
DG requested Skittles again for this year. Skittles may become a new tradition in and of itself. Third year and counting....
