Primary GATE with Caldecott -- "Two Bad Ants" by Chris Van Allsburg
If you're like me, you can't easily find activities designed for primary grade gifted learners.

Rocket Math Multiplication Flashcards by Levels (can edit)
Although many kids can memorize the Rocket Math facts with the homework sheet provided in the kit, there are still some kids that fall through the cracks or some kids that reach the higher levels that struggle to meet their goals. That’s why I created these flashcards. The level is identified in the top left corner of each single-sided card. I tried to keep the levels together, so you could print only what you need for each student. Most pages have 2 levels. Each page contains 8 cards. You

Primary GATE -- AIR! Active, Creative, Academic, and Hands-on!
I am always trying to figure out what to do with my little primary groups, and this unit was a definite hit with my kindergartners. It would work well with 1st grade too or the regular 2nd grade classroom. The full unit contains more than 2 hours of contact time.
It’s active, fun, and challenging for these little ones and seemed to have the right combination of “get up and move,” imagination, creativity, and “making” along with academic tasks.

Math Word Problem- Three Read Strategy Graphic Organizer
Word problems are a big part of any Math standardized test our students take. Be it on PARCC or NWEA, this is an area where students often struggle greatly. A method aimed at helping students master word problems is called the Three Reads strategy. It is essentially a close read that allows students to focus on something specific each time they read the word problem. I did not create the method, but I noticed that there was little in the form of useful graphic organizers. I created this form in
