    chalkies turkey trot

    Welcome to “The Chalkies” Turkey Trot!

    We hope you enjoy a jog through our blogs gobbling up freebies, ideas, and recipes for some holiday joy!

    Chalkie Blog Name

    We have a new blog name!  We switched out the word “Primary” for “Elementary” so that we can meet the needs of any teacher K-6. Our blog has been thoughtfully designed to help you find what YOU need for YOUR classroom level! See what I mean in the screen shot below of our blog:

    You can see the new grade choices in the picture above.


    And now, lets start trotting for goodies!

    This trot will also take you through the blogs for primary only. If you are interested in the higher grades, just click on the Elementary Chalkboard image and click on the 4-6 posts! You’ll find the authors you need!

    We hope you enjoy this little meal from appetizer to dessert! Let’s start with the appetizer…

     

    chalkie appetizer
    Use this year-long set of Snakes and Ladders type game boards to practice using the 120 chart. There’s a new one for each month of the year, using different themes to keep it fresh. I’ve also included recording sheets to challenge students to record their moves along the board using equations.
     Click here to grab the 10-month set.

     Here’s a helpful idea to help organize your classroom after a big painting project. I used to always  start painting projects with my students too close to the end of the day, and end up with nowhere to put all the wet paintings (the janitor needs to wipe down all the tables).
    So, the solution: use your stacked chairs as a drying rack!
    There’s a slot for each student, and the paintings are dry by the time you need the chairs in the morning. Give this a try – works like a charm!
