The Giggling Goose and Muddy Moose

🪶 𝐍𝐄𝐖 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐆𝐎𝐎𝐒𝐄 & 𝐌𝐎𝐎𝐒𝐄 𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐓! 🪶

What if math fluency was about more than just getting the answer?

What if students were encouraged to think, reason, explain, justify, and make connections?

That's exactly why I created the new 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐅𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 𝐒𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬!

𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐅𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 𝐒𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐬: 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲
➡️ Addition & Subtraction within 50
➡️ Multiplication & Division within 100

AND

𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐅𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 𝐒𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐬: 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐲
➡️ Addition & Subtraction within 100
➡️ Multiplication & Division within 1000

These resources move beyond rote fact practice and support students in:
✔ flexible thinking
✔ number sense
✔ reasoning and justification
✔ mathematical communication
✔ efficient strategy use
✔ deeper understanding of number relationships

Students solve, sort, explain, discuss, and reflect while teachers gain valuable insight into how students are actually thinking.

Perfect for:
🍁 Math Rotations
🍁 Small Groups
🍁 Intervention
🍁 Number Talks
🍁 Whole-Class Discussions
🍁 Daily Fluency Routines

Even better? They're now available individually or together as a bundle for an even richer progression from foundational fluency to strategic mathematical reasoning.

Because fluency isn't just about speed...It's about understanding.

✨ NEW RESOURCE ✨

Back at it… and this one has quickly become one of my favourites 💛

🪺 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐍𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬: 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐈𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐬 𝐁𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐖𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞

Sometimes students don’t struggle with writing…
they struggle with organizing their thinking.

This simple, visual tool helps students:
🪶 collect their ideas
🪶 group their thinking
🪶 talk it out
🪶 and turn it into clear, meaningful writing

It’s that bridge between 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 → 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 → 𝘸𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 that so many learners need.

Perfect for Grades 4–6 and especially supportive for students who need help getting their ideas organized before they write.

I’ve also included:
✔ a writing page to guide paragraph development
✔ “Feathered Thinking Stems” to support oral language rehearsal
✔ a simple teacher overview to make it easy to implement right away

This one is all about slowing students down to build clarity — and the writing that comes out of it is incredible ✨

𝐅𝐔𝐋𝐋 𝐁𝐔𝐍𝐃𝐋𝐄 𝐋𝐀𝐔𝐍𝐂𝐇

𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐭… 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐁𝐈𝐆.

Over the past while, I’ve been building something that I kept wishing I had in my own classroom…

👉 decodable texts that don’t feel “babyish”
👉 that actually support older readers
👉 and connect 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 → 𝘧𝘭𝘶𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘺 → 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨

So I finally put it all together.

✨ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐞 (𝐀–𝐂) ✨

This bundle is designed for students who can 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘧 read...

but still struggle with:

• longer words
• fluency
• and really understanding what they read

Inside you’ll find:

📘 36 decodable passages
🧠 Comprehension Conversations
💬 Student thinking stems
✍️ 𝘔𝘶𝘥𝘥𝘺 𝘔𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 writing extensions
📊 Teacher-friendly (DIBELS-style) fluency support

But more than anything…

🌿 these are 𝐝𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐬
for growing readers who deserve texts that match their age AND their needs.

This is the progression:

🟢 Start with 𝐁𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐞 𝐀 (foundations)
🔵 Build with 𝐁𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐞 𝐁 (vowel patterns)
🔴 Extend with 𝐁𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐞 𝐂 (word structure + meaning)

👉 Or grab the 𝐅𝐔𝐋𝐋 𝐁𝐔𝐍𝐃𝐋𝐄 and have the whole system ready to go.

If you’re working with readers who say:

“I can read it… but I don’t get it.”

This one’s for you 💛

🚨 NEW RESOURCE DROP! 🚨

Making writing visible… one sentence at a time.

I’m so excited to share a new Goose & Moose resource that has been growing quietly behind the scenes…

𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬 🪶🫎

This resource was designed with one big idea in mind: helping students move from 𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 → 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 → 𝙬𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜

Using simple, colour-coded sentence parts, students learn how sentences work, how ideas connect, and how to express their thinking clearly.

It’s been especially powerful for:
🖋️ early writers (K–3)
🖋️ EAL learners
🖋️ students who need that bridge between oral language and writing

And honestly… watching students realize “𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥 𝘢 𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦!” — that’s the magic ✨

If you’re looking for something structured, meaningful, and easy to use in your classroom, this might be just what you need.

🪶 From speaking to writing — one sentence at a time
