Amanda Trump 

Screen Shot 2015-07-10 at 1.10.59 PM

 

 

The bundle packet includes 75 games and activities that all target teaching the 6 types of syllables in reading: Closed Syllables, V-C-e Syllables, r-Controlled Syllables, Open Syllables, Vowel Digraph & Diphthong Syllables, and Final Stable Consonant Syllables.
The basic overall purpose of learning syllable type reading is to give students 6 reading strategies to aid them in chunking longer words into short, readable parts. Learning to read by identifying the type of syllable is the most consistent method to teach reading to your students, and the easiest way for your students to learn to read.These 75 activities/games can be placed in language stations, or they can be played during small groups. So enjoy as your students learn another way to break the code to reading!At the present, I am creating my last packet of game and activities to go with the final stable syllable type, and once I complete it, I will make it available.

LANGUAGE ARTS – “10 r-Controlled Games & Activities”

10 r-controlled-cover

This unit is a package of 10 activities and games that are designed to make it easy for students to learn to read r-controlled syllable type words. There are 6 syllable types, and r-controlled is one of the six types. These syllables are called –r-controlled because the –r is in control and the vowel is out of control when sounding out the word. Instead, of the vowels making their normal sounds, the –r decides for them what sound the vowel is going to make. Reading and spelling r-controlled words require visual memory and experience. These games will teach students a few consistent tips to remember when reading these kinds of words. There are five -r-controlled vowels–ar, -er, -ir, -or, -ur. These five vowel spellings make 4 different sounds. The packet includes 75 -r-controlled words cards and the following 10 games:

1. Climb a Tree

2. Grow a Centipede

3. Football Frenzy

4. Dominoes

5. Uno

6. Clear the Board

7. Snail Shell

8. Wild Animal Race

9. Checkers

FREE MATH LESSON – “Geometry Dictionary – A Project”

by Mad Eye Moody Productions

6th – 8th Grade

 

geometry dictionary

 

This project asks students to create a dictionary with 25 geometric terms and 5 geometric formulas from a completed Geometry unit (unit NOT included). Students define the terms/formulas, rephrase each in their own words, and give a visual example of each.

Each year I used this project in my 7th grade Math class I was impressed with the level of detail my students produced. Some students didn’t complete the project, but most of them at least defined the terms for partial credit. This is a great way to help your students review important terms and formulas before a unit test, and it will excite your students who like to draw.

Document is ready to print and distribute to students.

Includes project rubric.

File is in .pdf format, but for an editable version, please contact me for details.

FREE SCIENCE LESSON – “Winter Solstice Activity”

by Science in the City

6th – 12th Grade

 

winter solstice

 

Search Terms: Solstice, Equinox, Seasons, Sun’s path, winter

This is a winter solstice activity. It is a great introduction or reinforcement to why we have seasons, and a fun, short, science activity to do right before a winter break.

It includes a little bit of information about winter celebrations around the world, and then an exploration into the ‘reason for the seasons.’ It is appropriate for middle school or high school.

This lesson can be done as a whole group activity with a projector to show the map, or by printing out the map ahead of time, or individual or small groups on a computer.

To see more suggestions for using this project, and activities for the other solstice and equinoxes, as well as associated websites and vocab activities, go to Solstice and Equinox Hours of Daylight and Seasons Lessons Pack

Common Core Standards:
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RST.6-8.3 Follow precisely a multistep procedure when carrying out experiments, taking measurements, or performing technical tasks.

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RST.6-8.9 Compare and contrast the information gained from experiments, simulations, video, or multimedia sources with that gained from reading a text on the same topic.

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RST.6-8.7 Integrate quantitative or technical information expressed in words in a text with a version of that information expressed visually (e.g., in a flowchart, diagram, model, graph, or table).

No-prep printables – Reading and Writing for Christmas!

2x Xmas Preview - Copy

Happy (almost) holidays, my friends. Have you noticed an excitement in the air? My students definitely have the Christmas Spirit, and are always thrilled to have some fun seasonal activities do to recognize it!

I run Early Literacy Intervention groups with students from grades 1-3. While we do guided reading and writing, and play skill-building games, once in a while I do like to have them do some worksheets that I can keep a copy of in their files. We are currently working through both of the packages shown in the picture above and they are enthusiastic with the variety of activities at their ‘just-right’ level, too.

Here is a close up of the North Pole Reading and Writing Fun preview:

FREE SCIENCE LESSON – “STEM Engineering Challenge: Make a Table”

by Lopez Land Learners

3rd – 12th Grade

 

build a table

 

Engineering Challenges are an exciting part of the new NGSS Standards. I love the collaboration and team building that these projects bring to my classroom. My students LOVE the excitement and engagement that naturally occurs while they are actively participating!

In this challenge, students are given 3 types of material and have to collaborate on what kind of table they can make. The team sketches a design they all agree they can create and then set out on the journey to build a table. I do not set a timer, but this activity is easily adaptable to any changes you want to add, such as a timer or adding a different variable.

Perfect for grades 3 and beyond. I have used this with adults and the results are just as eye opening and engaging!

Mega Reading & Game Cover

Grades K-3

Amanda Trump

The mega bundle packet includes 400+ words lists and 70+ games and activities!!!

There are 6 syllable types in reading. The basic overall purpose of learning syllable type reading is to give students 6 reading strategies to aid them in chunking longer words into short, readable parts.
