First Grade Literacy and Math Review

It’s the week that report cards are due and, as you look over the report card skills and standards, you’re suddenly thinking: Did I assess that? Did my students master that skill? I think he mastered it, but I don’t remember? I think he struggles, but I don’t have evidence? Did I teach this?!?!?!

Well, at least that’s happened to me a time or two!

Since it’s imperative to be intentional with every ounce of time and instruction, I needed a review to be absolutely SURE that my kiddos were ‘getting it.’ This reading foundational/literacy and math review pack can be used as a review of the standards, preparation for benchmark testing, as a quick assessment, or as a progress monitoring tool.  Above all, it helps you easily take note of which standards students have mastered and where there are gaps, so that you have the opportunity to reteach before it’s too late.

Are you looking for a great way to review reading foundational and literacy and math skills with your first grade students? This review packet is full of activities that are just PERFECT for helping you do just that! There are twenty days worth of review, that help with everything from phonics to word recognition to phonemic awareness to writing and more! Plus, you can try a sample day for FREE!

I would recommend doing a review activity each day in a teacher-led literacy center. This will give you the opportunity to complete the review together and take note of student success and/or gaps in learning.

Free Number Sense Toolkit

Do your kiddos have a number sense kit at the ready for use during small or whole group math activities? If not, I’ve put together a FREE number sense starter kit that you can download, print, and start using NOW!

Grab this FREE number sense toolkit that includes a five frame, a ten frame, number cards 0-20, and a set of ten frame cards 0-10. Simply stash them in a gallon sized baggie, clear plastic sleeve, or dry erase pocket for simple storage and organization. They're perfect for small or whole group math activities in kindergarten, first grade, and second grade classrooms!

I find that they store VERY easy in a clear plastic sleeves, gallon-sized baggies, OR these amazing dry erase pockets. I own the neon set (pictured in the images below) and I LOVE them. They’re 9×12″ so they’re plenty big to slide toolkit pieces and activity mats in and out of with ease.

(The activity mats pictured above can be found HERE.)

You can use the toolkit for MANY different activities, and I just did a little video post if you need some ideas! Go grab a set for your classroom by clicking the graphic below 🙂

ETA: If you are not able to access the materials via the links or graphic (they’re working for some, but not others – I have no clue what the issue is!), here’s the link you can copy and paste into your browser to take you to the resource:
