Nonsense Word Fluency BLACKout BINGO Game by Ms. Lendahand (EGG to CHICK Life Cycle Theme) 1/2 Price for first 24 Hours!
*************************************************************************
Inspiration for creating these games comes from what we are studying or reading about in class. Oftentimes games coordinate with the season we are in and the holidays and customs we are studying! This week the theme coordinates with our continued unit on LIFE CYCLES via EGG to CHICKEN. Although the 100th Day happens only once, we will be utilizing this resource for the duration of the school week!
I love creating these resources because it keeps my firsties happily practicing NONSENSE WORD FLUENCY and I have seen a direct correlation in improved NWF Scores on DIBELS NEXT Tests.
*************************************************************************
Nonsense Word Fluency is no nonsense! Gear up for DIBELS Next using resources that are effective, but fun and inexpensive. The best part of all is that the prep time is minimal for you and the reinforcement of nonsense word fluency is right on target. If you are not sure about BLACKOUT BINGO, try one of my freebies before you buy.
This is up to a six player NONSENSE WORD FLUENCY GAME.
(No pseudo haters here please! LOL! Really if you don’t like nonsense words this is NOT the place to be!)
Includes:
6 BLACKout BINGO Cards
30 Nonsense Word Fluency Calling Cards
More than 60 Bingo Chips
This game is all about nonsense word fluency practice=) This little resource stands to become a game-changer in your classroom.

please do yourself a favor and just do it!
Your Little Bears will forevermore love you for it.
I pinky promise!
If you squeeze it into your schedule and get it up
and going, let me know how BINGO works for you
in your classroom.
(Played like traditional BINGO…just play until the entire card is filled for each player.)

Kindergarten – 3rd Grade
Understanding how to make an inference from text is often difficult for children. Children make inferences all the time without realizing exactly what they are doing. It is important to share with them that making inferences is like being a detective. You look at all the evidence or clues and put them together along with their background knowledge to come up with an idea about a situation or problem. This packet is filled with “close-ups” and pictures of 50 different creatures.
How to use “What am I?”:
Use the following pictures on a Smartboard, in small groups or individually to introduce and teach the reading comprehension strategy of inferring.
Begin by having my students look closely at the picture of the close-up. Ask them what they see or observe in this picture? What details do they notice? What do they see when looking “closely”? What might they infer this is, based on what they see in the close-up?
Next, have your students make a list of clues or evidence to support their conclusions about the close-up. Using the clues or evidence, what inference can they make about what this creature is? Have them use their evidence to support their conclusions.
Common Core Standards introduced or covered include:
RL.1 and RIT.1 – Ask and answer questions about key details in a text
SL.2 – Recount or describe key ideas or details from a text read aloud or information presented orally or through other media
SL.3 – Engage effectively in a range of collaborative discussions (one-on-one, in groups, and teacher-led) with diverse partners on grade 3 topics and texts, building on others’ ideas and expressing their own clearly. (Determine the main ideas and supporting details of a text read aloud or information presented in diverse media and formats, including visually, quantitatively, and orally)
SL.4 – Engage effectively in a range of collaborative discussions (one-on-one, in groups, and teacher-led) with diverse partners on grade 4 topics and texts, building on others’ ideas and expressing their own clearly.
Any claims of correlation or alignment to the CCSS or WIDA ELD Standards are solely those of Tools for Teachers by Kyp McLaren and have not been evaluated or endorsed by WIDA or the NGA.
Kyp McLaren is the sole creator of this product and is not associated with the entities who created the standards.
The Common Core Standards were developed and written by the NGA. © Copyright 2010. National Governors Association Center for Best Practices and Council of Chief State School Officers. All rights reserved.”

MyPlate is the nutrition education program that has taken the place of the USDA’s Food Pyramid. My picture book, Jack & the Hungry Giant Eat Right with MyPlate, provides a kid-friendly introduction to MyPlate. Like the traditional fairy tale, Jack climbs up the beanstalk and enters the giant’s castle. The giant scoops him up, says “I’m hungry!” so the terrified Jack makes a dive for it. The giant catches him and advises him to be careful. Waldorf turns out to be a nice giant as well as a wonderful chef who is delighted to invite Jack to enjoy a healthy meal. The full color artwork has large illustrations of the fruits, vegetables, and other food groups as they’re being prepared.
For more info about the book, please see this post on my blog.
This FREE packet contains the I Can Fill Up My Plate! printables for students to respond to writing prompts and write lists of foods in the Fruit, Vegetables, Grains, Protein, and Dairy groups. Next they decide which foods to put on their plate. They label the foods and color the page. They may draw the foods or paste cut-outs in a collage. To make the book available in your school, please request it from your librarian.

https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Comment-Bank-1218405
Do you run out of meaningful criticism for your students’ high school papers and work?
I created this comment bank because I had the same problem. After a little while, you don’t know what to write on a student’s test.
The Comment Bank has been constructed to save the Language Arts teacher time when offering constructive and helpful comments on students’ evaluations. Marking papers in any Language Arts class is always a lengthy process. Increasingly, teachers are being asked to write more detailed comments to highlight students’ strengths and weaknesses, and sometimes we run out of ideas. Being the vigilant teachers we are, and wanting to help our students achieve their potential is and will always be one of our priorities. To this end, when marking students’ papers, writing down everything we want to say to them about their papers would be a very lengthy process. I have decided to share my personal comment bank with you.
The bank comments on the following areas:
-Structure
-Communication
-The next step
-Mechanics
-Style
-Persuasion
-Analysis
The package contains 7 pages of comments, which are divided by levels of accomplishment A, B, C and D. (levels 100 to 50)
Included in this package are over 120 comments for students. You can get inspiration from these pages to handwrite your comments, or you can do what I do and copy/paste your comments into a word document, print, and staple the comment to the students’ evaluations. This is a real time saver. Parents, students, and school administration LOVE this method of feedback. And, this way, it takes much less time to be much more efficient. I hope you enjoy it!

The Fishbowl activity is mostly useful during literature circles or in a novel study. Quite literally, the group in the center is being watched by the rest of the class, while they are discussing elements of fiction. This activity is a very important tool in order to teach students how group discussions should run, what is to be said, and how it is to be said. Many times the leader of the discussion doesn’t know how to prompt members to elaborate upon their contributions. This will certainly help.
In addition, it is often difficult for a teacher to evaluate these discussions, which is the reason I have created this package. It is easy to use and you can merely check boxes to quickly assess each member of the groups.
This package contains:
• An explanation of The Fishbowl Activity
• How to run a Fishbowl Activity (within the realm of a literature circle)
• Why such an activity is important
• Evaluation sheets one can use to easily evaluate the discussions and roles of students
It’s teaching made easy!
