Buddy Binders

Are you always looking for extension activities for your kiddos?
Do you ever wonder how to get two kiddos to work together ‘nicely’ who struggle?
Or do you have ever kiddos who work so hard and you want to reward them somehow?
If you said yes to any of these questions, then my newest creation is just what you need!  It is even organized into binders for easy storage and easy access for students!
Check out my Buddy Binders! 
buddy binder 1
There is one for ELA and one for Math.  They are available in my TPT Shop together and sold separately.
Your probably thinking… Well, what the heck is a Buddy Binder!?
Let me tell you!  I am so very excited.  One day Lyndsey from A Year of Many
Firsts and I were talking about how there is never enough storage in the classroom- where should we put things, how should we store them- the usual conversation.  Then binders came up.  I thought hmmm… how could I make this work.  I wanted to create Math and ELA activities for the entire year.  Something that could be revisited multiple times during the year and still engage the kiddos and provide meaningful practice and creative outlets.
So BUddy Binders popped into my head!  I thought that if the activities required a buddy, it would be easier to require less copies to be made once it is assembled.  It would also allow for students to learn and practice working with different classmates.
These binders are ideal for grades 2nd-4th.
Uses for the binder:
- Early finishers
- Students who need improvement on social skills
- Reward for great choices/behavior
- Classmates who need to learn to work together
I created 14 Math and 14 ELA activities. 
Let me give you a sneak peek into the Math activities first:
matchthemoney
read the clock
flash card focus
makeanotherway
odd and even war
around the number
finish the line
roll and add
place value
comparing cards
story problem switch
roll and subtract
to 100 we go
to 100 tally marks we go
Here are the ELA activities:
word champion
photographfact
whydidithappen
simpletosuper
story sequencing
splitting it all up
kidstheater
readallaboutit
interview
name it
putpieces
wearecard
expanding vocabu
fact card
I included two options for labels in the pack.  I used the labels on the folder for each of the games and on the envelopes to hold the additional supplies. The envelopes are obviously optional, but I chose to use them to keep everything very clearly organized for my kiddos.
labels
labelpic
I then stored the envelopes and the additional supplies (dry erase markers, erasers, dice, and cards) in a basket.  I will keep these baskets next to the binders on the shelf.

  6. my favorite memory from this summer was helping plan and attending my 10 year high school reunion! My how time flies! It was a wonderful night and it was worth all the stress that went into putting it together! I cannot believe I have been out of high school for 10 years...it truly seems like yesterday I was walking those halls!

  11. My best memory this so far this summer has been helping my friend & fellow teacher clean out her mom's house. It was fun taking a trip down memory lane as she kept finding toys from her youth not the mention the other surprising items we found that her mom had. Another good memory was the time my Aunt & Uncles came down to visit mom in the nursing home. It was nice visiting with all of them.

    These are amazing items. I am crossing my fingers that I could win, however I also added it to my wish list.

    I am following you on both sites.
    Blessings on your school year.

  13. My favorite memory was when we were on our way to the Oregon Coast and stopped at our daughter's house for the night. We all came in to the house and hugged and I just hugged our granddaughter and my daughter said, "Mom, look at Lanie's shirt" because you know I was obviously NOT paying attention. So I looked at my granddaughter's shirt and it said "Big Sis"! So I screamed (naturally) because I am going to be a grandmama again in January!!!

  29. I follow you on facebook and bloglovin'. My favorite memory of the summer is going to LEGOLAND last week. We were on a pirate ride with the kids and all of a sudden I was getting hit in the face with a water cannon. When I looked up it was a 6-7 year old who was on the water cannons blasting away at all the people on the rides. Can't believe that kid had such good aim! Of course, when we were done with the ride, we had to take out kids to wet all the other riders who were as unsuspecting as us!

  56. We haven't gone on vacation yet... just a few more days but my favorite summer memory has been my 9 year old son playing on a travel baseball for the first time. He finally got to pitch after waiting all season for his turn. He strikes out the last 2 players to end the inning. He walks off the mound with a huge coast to coast smile. We knew he could pitch and he knew he could pitch but he surprised the rest of his team!

  90. I also follow you on both Bloglovin and Facebook! I absolutely adore your materials!! One of my favorites was on finding a pet a home! I love it as did my kids! :) My favorite memory from this summer was hanging out with my whole family during our family reunion in Arizona! Although the last time we were all together 5 years ago ended up being a bittersweet memory of being introduced to my first nephew after saying goodbye to one of our uncles, it is always a memorable time when we get together! I got to see my 2 nephews who live states away which always brings a huge smile to my face!!

    Thanks for all the time and effort you put in to making amazing materials! Happy new school year!

  96. My favorite memory from this summer is taking my elderly grandparents to the beach for a week to see my grandfather's sister. I enjoyed getting to know her and some of our family history. It broke my heart when we left because my great aunt thanked me for bringing her brother to see her and that it would probably be the last time they see one another before one of them passes away. I vow to take them down every summer if they are able now.

  97. My favorite memory from the summer was teaching my daughter how to swim. Now she is swimming underwater! I loved hearing "Look Mommy!" every day!

  100. My best memory was going to Magic Kingdom with my family and watching my son laugh and squeal as he saw and danced with the characters and rode on the rides. It was precious.

  101. I LOVE this idea! You're a genius! :o) My favorite memory from this summer was spending a week at a cabin that we rented on a beautiful clear lake and taking our pug into the lake to swim for the first time. It was SO STINKIN' cute to see him in his little swimming vest paddling away. :o)

  102. Awesome product! I really hope to win it. :-) Liked you on Facebook and followed you on Bloglovin.

    My favorite summer memory is the fact that I wasn't in grad school this summer and had ME time for once. It gave me time to pursue things I love such as taking workshops, starting my own blog, and lots of fun get togethers with friends!

  107. Hi!
    I follow on Facebook and Bloglovin. Your blog is so cute! I LOVE these binders, nice work. Such a good idea.
    Okay, I need to focus. :c) My favorite memory from the summer so far is the looks on my niece (6 years old) and nephews' (4 years old) faces when I walked into the room after not seeing them since December. Priceless! It's good to be loved!
    Thanks so much for the chance to win!
    Take Care,

  108. This would be PERFECT for daily practice during my math RTI time. I follow you on both Bloglovin'(Jodie Corbeil) and Facebook (Jodie-Lynn Corbeil). My favorite memory this summer has to be spending my birthday on the beach with my bf and his 2 daughters enjoying everything summery. The girls learned how to use their boogie boards and then we went out for a birthday dinner of lobster and steamers. The little one fell in LOVE with lobster and even requested it as her birthday dinner!

    Enjoy the end of summer :-)
