We Teach So Hard…Episode 33… Interdisciplinary Projects Can Save Your Sanity

We’re galloping toward the year’s end. There’s standardized testing to get through…HOURS of it, in fact. Field trips, assemblies, learning celebrations, and don’t forget about your evaluation, report cards, common assessments, and closing up your classroom. When we think about our school life in the months of April, May and June, it’s hard not to hyperventilate. BECAUSE WE STILL HAVE TO TEACH, and let’s face it-our students are checked out! Interdisciplinary projects can save your sanity. They really can! They’ll keep the learning going, engage your kids, and help you get in all those standards you still have to teach. TURN UP YOUR VOLUME and get ready to rock your end of the year teaching!

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON – “FREE: Body-Spelling Sight Words PowerPoint”

by Brenda Tejeda

Kindergarten – 2nd Grade

⭐The bundle has just been posted and is 40% OFF for a limited time!⭐ Grab it here: 
40% OFF: Body-Spelling Sight Words BUNDLE

Sight word fluency is so important, yet many kids struggle to build and retain a strong sight word vocabulary, despite a variety of approaches. 

Movement has been scientifically proven to be linked with increased academic performance! Most students are kinesthetic learners and using their bodies to spell words is a great way to incorporate movement into sight word instruction!

This PowerPoint presentation is a free sample of my Body-Spelling PowerPoint resource. It includes the sight word ‘the’ for you to try with your students.

With this PowerPoint, you’ll be able to introduce sight words using all 4 learning styles:

❶ Visual– students read the target sight word, and again in context

➋ Auditory– students say, spell, and hear the sight word

❸ Reading & Writing– students read and write the word on whiteboards or in a student notebook

➍ Kinesthetic– students sky-write and body-spell the sight word

In addition to targeting the 4 learning styles, this method teaches the sight word in context, ensuring comprehension.

If you own my Ultimate Sight Words Bundle, you get this resource free, as it has been added to the bundle! 

Thanks for reading!
