Practice Makes Perfect (Carson-Dellosa Review)

November 27, 2015

Hi everybody! Hope you had a happy Thanksgiving and are enjoying a nice Friday off of school. I’m stopping by today to show off some products that Carson-Dellosa sent me this month.

First up,

http://www.carsondellosa.com/products/140317__Red-Light-Green-Light-Dice-Game-140317

This game was a hit with my kiddos. In this game, the students roll two dice – one green and one red. Then, they write 5 words that begin with the letter on the green die and 5 different words that end with the letter on the red die. Whoever gets done first yells, “Honk! Honk!”

Best of all, this game is on sale right now. Click on the product image above to view on Carson-Dellosa.
This game was much more of a challenge than I thought it would be, especially writing words that end with a certain letter. It allowed me to see strategies that some of my students have in spelling words. One of my kiddos wrote homophones for when she was writing words that start with the same letter. I thought that was a great problem solving strategy.

I also received a math workbook from the Kelley Wingate series. This workbook provides great math practice and really challenged some of my students. These worksheets would be great for homework or a challenge activity.

Looking for some easy problem solving activities? These Real World Mats are for you. These mats were really challenging for my enrichment group of kiddos. The mats combine math, reading, science, and other concepts when students answer questions about the pictures.

This last resource provides great practice for students. I really liked using this workbook when I had a sub as it helped my students really practice their skills when I wasn’t there. Also, these pages would be great review and practice for homework.
