While I was working at summer school this year (as an IA), I went to Walgreens to buy some personal school supplies. Just post-its, pens, and the like. As I was browsing down the aisle for some stickers, I found this great workbook full of colorful, clear, and bright exercises in math, and language arts. And it was HUGE! There was a such a range of exercises, i picked one up for the 1st grade class I was working with. We didn't end up using it and I've thought nothing of it...
This year though, I have found it is probably the best workbook I could have ever gotten. For 10 bucks! It's called:
The SchoolZone Big Workbook Series

The first one I purchased was the Pre-K one (not pictured), but it is red. It especially makes me happy that each book is predominately a primary color. Makes it very easy to say "the blue book" or "the orange book".
But as you can see, I budgeted out the $20 to to purchase the 2 further books. My kiddos' levels can all be summed up on the prek-1 grade level. I'm okay with spending $30 on 960 pages to fabulous material.
And what COULD be really cool, is the books all come with an online code. I'm not quite sure what it access' us to, but if it's anything like the quality of the books...I'll be one happy customer!
Here's an example of a page from the kindergarten book, and one that I'm very excited to use. Not only do these two pages help her with spelling the word "ring", it also helps improve her fine motor coordination, and handwriting! It's just fun, and perfect in the mornings/times when they haven't joined me yet.
It really is awesome!
