R blends Freebie

I'm going to do one more post for the day. It's been a productive one.  I guess that's the plus to being home all day while it's snowing out.  I did venture out for about an hour to go to my physical therapy appointment!  I am so excited! I don't have to go back.  My arm/hand is feeling so much better.  I hope it continues.  

Here's an updated snow picture.  This is from around 5 pm.  It's still snowing!

My husband is in winter denial.  He refuses to wear winter clothes.  He was shoveling our drive-way tonight in shorts.  The snowflakes were HUGE when he was shoveling. 

 

 

I finished another spelling unit.  The second unit that we are teaching for spelling is on R blends.  I will have the kids sort the words in a center and then complete the worksheets.  Each day they will do a cut and past sheets and answer the questions to go with it.

L Blends Freebie

I'm sitting at home with my two boys today (who both have pink eye)!  YAY me!!   I'm hoping my husband and I don't get it! As I am sitting on my couch, looking out my window...I see this. 

Yep...those white specks are snow!!  It doesn't EVER stop.  We had a beautiful day 2 days ago.  The boys played outside for 3 hours after school and life was good.  From now until tomorrow morning we could get up to 7 more inches!  YUCK!

I've gotten a lot done and would like to share a freebie with you. 

Next year we are getting a new curriculum for Language Arts.  I am starting to develop spelling centers for my kiddos to match the words we will be using.  Today I worked on our L blends list. My units are always going to include some kind of sorting of words.  They will match the skill we are working on.  At the end of them, I am going to include mixed-up sentences.  Our kids take the MAP test three times a year.  They are good writer's but for some reason, putting sentences in order is really hard for them.  I have included our spelling words in our sentences and will have them answer some questions about them.  I can't wait to get them all done.

 Students will sort the words onto the proper mat.

There are 4 words for each blend and there are 6 blends total.

 A worksheet is included to record the words that they sorted.

 Students will cut apart the words in the dotted lines.  They will put them in the correct order and glue them down.  They will answer questions about their sentences.  I will post the rest as I get them done.

Are you ready for some football?

I don't know about you...but even though the Vikings or the Packers are not in the Super Bowl this year...my kiddos are busy talking about who is going to win the Super Bowl game this year.  In my class, I will have my kids wear the colors of their favorite team the Patriots or the Giants.  We will then do some fun activities that I uploaded to my TPT store!

Fall Activities

I cannot believe it is fall already.  The first month of school has gone by so fast and we have had so much fun.  We are now starting to do many activities related to fall.  Our first big project was our DOWN, DOWN poem that we did.  We located OW words in the poem and then ripped pieces of paper to look like falling leaves.  We glued these around the poem.  The steps of what we did are listed below.

I have uploaded many other activities that we are going to be doing during our fall unit to my TPT store.  I hope you are having a great fall!

In this unit we will be learning about graphing, concepts about print, sentences, OW words, ABC order, punctuation marks, and syllables.

Apple Day

I have been taking advange of the yucky weather that we have been having and have been continuing to add things to my apple file!  Here is a sheet that I am going to use to teach concepts about print.  I am almost done with some fun games to upload to my TPT store and am really excited about it!
