We have been working on fractions recently and I was able to purchase fraction coloring activities that my students enjoy doing. \r\nIn reading, I really wanted to expose my students to various types of reading passages and the holiday reading comprehension passages have been a hit in my classroom. My students loved the Valentines's day reading activities that I purchased with the TPT gift cards.
