You Can Read! from 1+1+1=1

The most recent additions to the Education Cubes Members Only site are the You Can Read! insert cards. I collaborated with Carisa from 1+1+1=1 to create these insert cards as a supplement to her new You Can Read! Sight Word Program!

Included on the Members Only site are three sets of insert cards to go along with the program:

1. Alphabetical word list
2. Word list by unit
3. Colors & Numbers

Use these insert cards with your cubes for some fun review activities! For example, roll and read the word. Roll multiple cubes and use the words in a sentence. Designed to supplement the You Can Read! program, there are tons of possibilities!

Do you have ideas on how to use the You Can Read! insert cards? Please share them in a comment!

You can access these insert cards and many, many more by joining the Education Cubes Members Only Site.

Attn Members: You can find these insert cards on the “Curriculum-Based” page found under “Early Concepts.”

Cupcakes & Candles

As part of the Birthday Bash celebration at Spell Outloud, I created a fun little birthday themed game board called Cupcakes & Candles. It is very similar to the Astronauts to Earth printable game board. I also created Education Cubes insert cards to go along with the game board! Included in the Cupcakes & Candles set of insert cards are both candles and cupcakes with and without numbers 1-6.

For now, you can ONLY access the game board by visiting Maureen at Spell Outloud on Facebook OR by visiting the Spell Outloud Birthday Bash Central Page. So, be sure to head over and check out all of the fun giveaways and party favors she is offering, including TWO chances to win an Education Cubes Membership!!! So, what are you waiting for? Head on over to see what all the fun is about!!

Creative Writing Prompts

The most recent addition to the Education Cubes Members Only Site are the Writing Prompt insert cards. This is the first of more sets designed to provide ideas for creative writing. This particular set comes from a list of ideas created by Keri from The Home Teacher. (You can see her complete list of journal writing prompts over on her journal wiki page.) Thanks for sharing your ideas with us Keri!

Roll the cube to select a writing prompt and then let the creative writing begin! This provide a fun, active way of selecting a writing topic!

Word Matching

E from Adventures with a Chinese Noodle used the Blank insert cards to create her own list of words for her daughter to do a bit of word matching! Click on the pictures below for more information on how E used her Education Cubes to help her daughter practice her word list.!

Fraction Action

The most recent additions to the Education Cubes Members Only Site are some basic Fraction insert cards. Included are both a set of reduced fractions (shown below) and a set where the fractions have not been reduced.

These insert cards can be used to put a little more “action” in learning fractions. For example, use them along with the Guidecraft Fraction Board or Fraction Cups. Roll the cube (with the Fraction insert cards) and then show the fraction using the board or cups!

Do you have more ideas on how to use the Fraction insert cards with your Education Cubes? Please leave a comment and share your ideas!

FYI: I have some more visual fraction insert cards in the works. Stay tuned…

Spaceship Colors

The most recent addition to the Education Cubes Members Only Site are the Spaceship Color insert cards. There are two sets of cards, one with the color names and one without. (The set without the color names is shown below.)

These insert cards would make a fun addition to a space unit. Or, you could use them along with the Astronauts to Earth game board!
