FREEBIE FRIDAY: CVC Word Building

Yup, I know it's Saturday :(

I tried to get this posted yesterday but......

Anyway, here it is.

This is one of the very first products I ever made.

So it needed A LOT of updating.

It's a great word building activity for your students

who are working on CVC words.

It was designed to focus on the letter "b" but 

can really be used for any CVC words.

Just print out the letter tiles that you want

 your students to practice.

It comes with 3 different work mats,

letter tiles,

a recording sheet,

and a possible word list.

FREEBIE FRIDAY: Cool Adjectives

Still over here cleaning out old files......

I found this cute page that I used

when we were practicing adjectives.

When I used it, I enlarged the left side to model 

as they followed along on their paper.

When we finished,

they completed the other side independently.

Anyway, it's yours for FREE,

if you can use it.

HAPPY FRIDAY!!

Prepping for St. Patrick's Day

If you are getting ready to celebrate St. Patrick's Day
 with your students, I have a
 few things to share with you.

 I LOVE when activites and stations match the season 

Yes, they need to be quality and educationally solid
 but they can still be cute).

One idea for a fun whole group game is the ever popular,
 "I Have, Who Has?". I LOVE having this game for all
 seasons and themes. Same words your students need to
 master, but add a new picture and kids think it's a
 new game (whatever it takes to keep their interest).

I have this bundle for sale in my store.
It includes 5 levels of word cards

(preprimer, primer, 1st grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade).
Click on the picture to go directly to the link.

And now for some FREEBIES....

This word building activity uses the letters in the

 word LEPRECAUNS.  Have your students use

 the letters to build words and then add them

 to the included recording sheet. 

Odd and even sorting fun!

The pack includes some preprogrammed number cards,

 but also includes blank shamrocks

 (I would laminate them and then write

 whatever numbers you want on them.

 Then you could easily erase

 and change the numbers as often as you want to.)

And the last freebie is a set of gold coin number cards.
The cards go from 0-120 and have soooo many uses
(100s chart, calendar numbers, number ordering,
 addition/subtraction sentences,
multiplication/division sentences,
 greater than/less than,
skip counting, etc.).
The possibilities are almost endless.

I hope you see something here that you can use to make
March learning fun and engaging.

Just click on the picture and they are all yours.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Noah's Ark

Who doesn't love the story of Noah?

You know the cute part with all the sweet animals 

floating along happily on the boat?

Do you think it was really like that?

Can you imagine?

The true sounds and smells of so many animals

all together in one place?

I don't know so much about the cute and sweet part,

but I do know that Noah was obedient to God

even when God asked him to do something strange

that would mean something awful for so many.

When teaching the story of Noah in class,

I certainly use the cute and sweet images,

but it's important to get students to the reality of what

was truly going on.

Genesis 5:32-10:1

If you are ready to teach Noah, 

your timing is just right for my updated learning packet

(and a FREEBIE).

It's a HUGE packet with over 90 pages and 16 activites
including reading, language arts, math, science, etc.

One of the activities is a memory verse puzzle

The verse is Genesis 6:22.

It's a fun way to help your students learn the verse.

 

Here's a sneek peek at the whole packet.

And now the FREEBIE....

It's a making words activity that practices "ar" words.

Click on the preview below to get your copy.

I hope you find something helpful here

as you get ready to teach the story of Noah to your kids.

FREEBIE for your Little Leprechauns

Looking for something to keep your little Leprechauns 

busy yet productive? 

This FREEBIE would be a good addition to your Word Work station next week.

It's also easy for you...

just print and let them do the work.

Happy Word Building :) 

St. Patrick's Day FREEBIE

With Dr. Seuss activities behind us,

we are ready to look ahead to St. Patrick's Day.

I am constantly trying to change up word cards for 

the students I work with

(change the picture & they think it's a whole new game).

My St. Patrick's Day sets have been updated and 

I've bundled them to include 

preprimer, primer, 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade Dolch words.

Fingers crossed that the change in pictures will keep them focused.

(Click on the picture to pick up your set.)

I've also been updating old files.

This odd and even sorting game REALLY needed a make-over.

So here it is, updated and FREE.

This is a fun activity to add to your seasonal Math stations. 

(Click on the picture to get your FREE copy.)

Hope this will be helpful as you're planning for St. Patrick's Day.
