"FALL"ing Take 2

In my last blog post, 

I said that I was putting all of my FALL resources in that one post.

But.....

when I saw this candy corn clip art,

I HAD to make something else.

See how it was just begging for multiplication sentences??!!!

I made a packet that includes sentences 1x0 through 12x12

and 2 different recording sheets.

It's made to be leveled.

You can cut away only the yellow section

and have students make matches,

or you can cut all 3 sections apart

and have them completely build each sentence.

And.....if you made it this far 

then here is the recording sheet for FREE.

If you want to grab the whole pack,

just click on the picture below.

Happy Fall!

"FALL"ing

I FALL for FALL.

I love all things FALL,

the weather (when it finally cools off in Florida),

football, chili, sweatshirts and leggings <3 

I also love FALL resources,

there's just something about cute pumpkins and leaves on schoolwork.

I have spent the last week updating my fall resources

and wanted to put them all in one place.

So here they are.

If you make it all the way to the bottom of this post,

you'll find 3 FREEBIES.

Happy Fall Yall!

Trick or Treat

Trick or treat! This is Cyndie from Chalk One Up for the Teacher 

taking over this blog today as my trick, but keep reading to get your treat!

Several bloggers have joined together for this Trick or Treat Blog Hop. You will find more tricks as well as plenty of treats as you hop from door to door.

So, here's a treat to collect from me. (Oh, that I wish I could shove chocolate through the screen to you, because I think we've all hit that spot in the year, am I right?) This is a fun contraction game with a candy corn theme. Simply match the two word parts to the contraction to create a complete candy corn. You can find the product right here.

Johnny Appleseed FREEBIE

I guess I'm working a day behind for most of you......

I know that many of you celebrated Johnny Appleseed Day yesterday,

but in our classroom we were finishing up a weather unit.

So we are getting to Johnny next week.

Just wanted to quickly share a FREEBIE that I made last year.

Hope it's not too late for you to use it:)

Happy Friday!

My Sights are on Sight Words

I think we've talked sight words before, but I've made a new FREEBIE 

so I thought we'd talk about them again.

For the past several years our school has used Saxon Phonics to teach phonics. 

It also comes with its own list of high frequency words. So, that is the list we have worked off of. The approach that the program uses can get rather dull (ok very boring) and since we practice sight words EVERY DAY something has to be done to draw in the crowd.

We normally do a whole group "drill time" in the mornings.

It might consist of flash cards (standing up, sitting down, monster voice, whisper voice, etc), 

sight word bingo, or an "I Have, Who Has?" game.

I will try anything to capture their attention and get them to engage 

when we are practicing our words.

(Free copy - just click on it)

After the words are introduced they are stuck to the word wall.

We also have sight word activities of some sort in at least one center.

We've done concentration, order the "I Have" game on the carpet, flash cards, stamp the words, write the words (with pens, markers, crayons, colored pencils), alphabetize the words, put the words in sentences, word searches, and the list goes on and on. 

I have a semi-new plan for next year (yep, already thinking about it). 

I'm skipping the Saxon list and plans and strictly using the Dolch Word Lists.

I love that it is already leveled and I can easily check my kids and track their progress.

The rest of the plan is still in the works:)

I am ALWAYS looking for great new ideas for ways to practice these words.

I would love for you to share any ideas that are working for you.

I've made a TON  of flash cards and "I Have" games with all different themes,

just because I change the picture and they think it's a new game. LOL

Here is a new set of flash cards that I've already made for back to school.

It's yours to grab if you can use it.

This set is preprimer dolch but all 5 levels are available in my store for purchase.

Be sure to leave your great sight word ideas, my kids will appreciate it.
