Magical Math Words *FREEBIE*

Happy Thursday!

Let's make *m*a*g*i*c* be our theme...yes, let's go with that.  So...*a*b*r*a*c*a*d*a*b*r*a* today isn't Thursday afterall. There is another *week* left of break ~*~*~*~*~*~*poof***

Did it work?

Hubby doesn't go back until the 9th, but I'm pretty sure a whole bunch of us still go back on the 3rd.  Sorry girls, I tried.

There are some giveaways going on out there so I thought I'd share those with you first.

Erika over at The Honey Bunch is having her first giveaway to celebrate reaching 100 followers!

She's giving away this little slice of cuteness:

A car sticker that says "I'm a teacher - What's Your Super Power"

She's also giving away a *mystery item*....hmmm...that almost sounds *m*a*g*i*c*a*l* to me!

Caitlin over at Kindergarten Smiles is trying really hard to reach 300 followers before the New Year so head on over...make some *m*a*g*i*c* happen and follow her awesome blog.  Don't forget to enter her giveaway of her entire TpT store.  Looks like she has some cute stuff over there! :)

Hope King from 2nd Grade Shenanigans {don't you just love that blog name?} is also giving away her whole TpT store....just to thank everybody for following her blog.  Pure *m*a*g*i*c*!

Diane and Kelly are giving away a complete set of winter themed centers, over at Made for 1st Grade.  Oh my goodness...there is some way cute stuff!!!!

That's a lot of *m*a*g*i*c* in the air - wouldn't you say?

We spent some time before break learning about number stories and the *magic* words that are in them that tell us what to do with the numbers {add or subtract}.  We call them number stories instead of story problems because they aren't a problem to do at all {after we learn the *ma*gi*cal* math words, that is}. 

So grab yourself a *magi*cian's* hat and your magic wand...

Here's Mine!

And *a*l*a*k*a*z*a*m* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Those number stories won't turn us into frogs or rabbits because we know the....

*M*A*G*I*C*A*L ~ *M*A*T*H* ~ *W*O*R*D*S*

Wave your magic wand on the poster below if you'd like to perform some magic in your own classroom!

Now stop thinking about school...go grab yourself a cuppa joe, and go watch Ellen!
