FREE Access to over 20 Microsoft Resources- MIE





In February of last year, I was able to spend two days with top notch Microsoft Trainers in the Microsoft Office in Detroit.  During these two days I learned about many programs and Microsoft Infinitives in the classroom.

One of my FAVORITE times of the year is getting the caterpillars in the mail and watching them grow into butterflies.  Now, I even do this at home with my own kids.  In my opinion one of the most important parts is having the students record what is happening, so I created this Butterfly Observation Journal.

FREEBIE! Valentine's Day Word Scramble with Self Checking QR Codes

I love a good QR code activity.  Kids enjoy scanning them, I enjoy making them.  All around a good time!  This activity features several Valentine's Day words that are all scrambled up, this would be a great center activity where students work on the activity and when the time is up they can scan and see how well they did.  :-D  This is my first QR activity to make publicly available so I would LOVE some feedback.



While you are here, did you get these past freebies?  Check them out!







There are several others too!  Check them out!  Don't want to miss another freebie?  Be sure to become a blog follower!  I'd love to have you!  :-D

Freebie! Groundhog's Day Writing Paper





It is no secret I am a huge fan on integrating technology into everything that I do, but there is something about handwritten letters.  I hope that as technology becomes more and more important, and our students technological skills grow, that they will always be able to write, especially handwrite.  I love reading my Grandma's handwritten diary entries, a recipe card that has been passed down, a friends picture with their signature on the back, or a classic note from Junior High.  Handwritten goodness is something that I hope never goes away.  I think I'll take sometime today to write a quick card to a friend- it always means so much more than an e-mail.  :-)



I hope this Groundhog's Day writing paper gets your student's creative juices flowing.  Have your student's tell a story about what the groundhog does in the 'off' season.  Predict whether or not he will see his shadow.  To get the freebie click here, or on the picture.  :D

Be sure to not miss the next freebie by becoming a blog follower.  I also, have a website of all of the best resources on the web at http://mrsfullenkamp.com Check it out it's all free!  :-)


Be sure to check out the Valentine's writing pack.  There is enough for every single student to have something different!  That would make a very cute class book.

Fonts! Free Fonts!

While I was blog hopping today, I stopped at Tech with Jen (awesome site by the way!), she has a section for fonts.  At the very bottom she featured Really Quite Lucky a site that reminds me a little bit of the pea fonts from Kevin and Amanda.  Anyhow these are free fonts, but what I really liked about it is that it had student writing samples.  :-D  I love that you have someone at the age of six writing their own font instead of an adult "faking" it.  Love!  Check it out!  :-D  If you would like to use any of these fonts just remember to include a link back.  What other fun font sites do you love?

Virtual Manipulatives


ABCya has done it again!  I'm sure many of you are already familiar with website.  The National Library of Virtual Manipulatives



 But what I just found out is that they have an app.  This app is awesome for teaching fractions, decimals, and percents.  The screen shot below is the directions for using.



Basically on half of the screen you can choose from fractions, decimals or percents and drag them to the second half of the screen.  This allows you to compare fractions like the picture below.  But what is even more exciting is that when you click on the fraction pieces it will show you the fraction as a decimal and a percent.  It also has the feature that lets you draw.



This is an awesome app!  I have my fingers crossed that they add more manipulatives in the future.  At the price tag of free, you can not beat it!  What do you hope they add next?






Apps Gone Free




This app is amazing!  Apps Gone Free is a free app that has a daily calendar of all of the previously paid apps that have gone free.  Each day when you open the app you can see around ten apps that are free for usually a 24 hour period.  It is rated a five star app with a whopping 23,000 reviews- unbelievable.



The apps featured are usually under the $5.00 mark and are often times games or other simple things.  But there is usually a keeper.  This is a great way to try new apps without breaking the bank, and if you decide that you don't like the app you can just delete without remorse. 



Block Posters


This *might* be my new love.  Block Posters takes an ordinary sized image and blows it up so that it is huge.  You can then print off several 8x11 papers, tape them together to make a large bigger than poster sized image.  This is seriously neat.  Take a minute go to Google Images and then search block posters and you will get some awesome ideas.


Think of the possibilities.  We could do a class photo, class pet, display, quote, random picture.  I do believe that the possibilities are endless!  Let me know what you create... I bet it will be awesome!


My Cute Graphics


My Cute Graphics is an amazing site.  It is a mom of three boys who designs clipart.  She knows how much time, energy, resources, and money that teachers put into her students so she allows teachers to use her work for free.  Isn't that awesome!  But her clip art is sooo cute.  I just used her snowman on my last freebie. Check her out and remember to send a note of thanks!  She is helping out so many teachers!







FREEBIE! Snowman Writing Paper


This week, I have been super excited about themed writing paper.  It really does jazz up student's work and sometimes gets them to think outside of the box!  Today, I'm sharing a Snowman Writing Paper.  
:-D  Isn't he cute?!?!?!




I just found this!  So, I'm linking up with Rebecca at Teaching First.  Check this out for some fantastic freebies!



It's that time again!  I'm linking up with Manic Monday at Classroom Freebies.

Math Common Core Guides K-8


Classroom Freebies Manic Monday


It's Monday and that means freebies!  Wahoo!  One of my favorites.  :-)  This weeks freebie is something every parent and teacher needs!

Preparing for the Common Core is a huge task as any teacher can tell you.  Sometimes, even understanding what the standards are trying to say can be a big problem.  In collaboration with several others we have created 9 different math common core guides.  These guides would be a great resource for parents to understand what is being asked, what developing, proficient, and advanced skills look like.  You can grab all of these at MrsFullenkamp.com on the Common Core Resource Page or by clicking the links below.


Kindergarten Math Guide
First Grade Math Guide
Second Grade Math Guide
Third Grade Math Guide
Fourth Grade Math Guide
Fifth Grade Math Guide
Sixth Grade Math Guide
Seventh Grade Math Guide
Eighth Grade Math Guide



While you are here, take a minute to link up your teacher page if you are interested!  :-D  Have a great day!





Ribbon Hero

Remember clippy?  You know that little pop up paper clip that was always giving advice while using Microsoft Office?



Clippy is getting a second chance!  Microsoft has created a game atmosphere to learn all of the hidden features of Office.  This is a FREE download and runs on Office 2007 and 2010.  I've always considered myself a proficient user of Office but I learned a ton!

You get points for completing tasks, using shortcuts, and learning more about the ribbon at the top of the screen.  You travel through different time periods and interact with the data that you are given.  If you are ever in charge of teaching computer literacy to late elementary, middle school, or high school students this would be an AMAZING activity!  Seriously.  Everything is laid out.  It's fun.  It's competitive.  And you can show document progress of your learning!  What more could you ask for!


When I teach Microsoft Innovative Educator classes it is always one of the favorite activities among teachers.  Check it out.  You will be glad that you did and surprised at the time it will save you doing day to day tasks!  Let me know what your high score is!

Be sure to like MrsFullenkamp.com on Facebook to stay updated on all of the latest additions.  :-)  Please feel free to share this resource with your students and parents!  If you have any other ideas for more of these type PowerPoints/Resources please let me know.  I enjoy making them!


Freebie! Math Power Points!



Check out these FIVE free math fact Power Points!  I have addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and basic algebra.  I often used these in the morning while the kids were coming in, or at a time when I wasn't directly teaching.  A little extra math review is always a good thing!  You can snag these on MrsFullenkamp.com on the Math Facts Page.  Have ideas for more?  Please let me know!  Also, if you want to check out tons of other freebies, take a look at the link below!
