Mini Erasers Fans and Addicts Report!!

  

Hi friends! I know I have not been around much! We have moved to another house, while putting our home for sale, plus having the kids make all of this a little bit more difficult! While all this craziness has been taken place, I have been working so hard lately to get this unit done!! So today I would like to blog about my addiction to mini erasers (I am sure you already believe me based on my picture)!!!!

If you follow me on my Instagram (@brincaintobilingual), you already know my addiction for those little mini erasers! I started a long time ago when I just started teaching (more than 4 years ago), but they were not as popular as they are right now. However, my love and addiction for them has always been there!
Once I get back in the classrom, I will have ALL my mini erasers (some are packed in my garage) so I am planning on making another blog post regarding storage and more pictures or even some videos while my students use them!

Meanwhile, I am planning ahead on creating a product that can be used along with the mini erasers as a whole group or in centers. I am not really sure WHY I took so LONG to start this unit. I have always used them in my classroom from one way or another. This time, after having so many bags, I promised myself I was not going to leave it incomplete and that I was going to finish it! My plan of a 100-pages unit turned into 200 pages and then I ended up making 9 folders! 


This unit has turned into one of my favorite units (go figured huh?)!!! I am planning on adding more themes as I get a chance to catch up (adding those mermaids, donuts, aliens, etc) AND as more mini erasers are added at Target! If you are interested, but then you say "I don't have all of them, so can I could I use this activity?" NO PROBLEM! I got you covered! I included mini counters for you to use instead of the mini erasers!
The unit is mainly for 2nd and 3rd grade. However, I included 1st grade in the description because you can always use SOME activities with the above grade level students in 1st grade!

So here is a little sneak peek of what comes in the unit (This is also available in Spanish):
SOME ACTIVITIES INCLUDE RECORDING SHEETS AND FOLDABLES TO EXTEND YOUR STUDENT'S WORK OR TO USE AS ASSESSMENT (YOUR CHOICE!):
1. Parts of Speech  (Nouns, Nouns vs Verbs)
2. Sight Words
3. Bar Graphs 
4. Pictographs 
5. Comparing Numbers (How much more?) 
6. Race to 100 
7. Addition and Subtraction Facts 
8. Multiplication and Division Facts 
9. Part-Part-Whole Word Problems
10. Mini Counters to replace the mini erasers





I still have a few more activities I would like to add, but due to my time (and a little bit of energy), I decided to add them as I am adding more themes into this unit!
I hope you find this new unit as exciting as I do and that you take a look at my store! Click on ENGLISH or SPANISH to take you to the product!

Thank you for stopping by today! I look forward to blog more next week! I will try my best to finish another product I have been working on that I just left incomplete (not an unusual thing for me to do lately). Hope you are having a great week and that it also goes fast so you can recharge over the weekend!
