How to Make the S Sound Spaghetti Clues!

The S sound is such a tricky one for so many of our early elementary students to pronounce!

In this freebie, I’ve included a quick description of a mini lesson for teaching the S sound in the classroom, a poster, and a worksheet.  There are so many touch cues and verbal cues for this tricky sound, but this is one that has worked for me!

Enjoy!

FREE SCIENCE LESSON – “Natural Disaster QR Vocabulary Sort”

by Texas Science Gal

5th – 8th Grade

 

natural-disaster-qr-vocabulary-sort

 

In this download there are 5 different natural disaster vocabulary words and QR codes. This download focuses on the natural disasters that have strong impacts on the ecosystems including tornadoes, hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanoes.

To use this, simply print these out for a group of 2-4 and have students sort out all of the cards. Once students have sorted the codes, you can give them the guided questions to help with comprehension. This helps assess what they have learned and put it into writing. There is also an answer key provided. I find that it makes a great way to integrate technology, get students hands on, and to reinforce the content knowledge.
