Kindergarten and first grade students can strengthen their emergent reading and writing skills with these cute party animals. This book contains a repetitive text pattern and cute clip art to engage young readers. Two versions are included in this download: A. An emergent reader mini-book to print and fold. Great for guided reading. B. An emergent reader with words on each page left out for students to write themselves. Great for use in a literacy station.
This is a peek at what the Nursery Rhyme packets include! It shows examples from all the different activities and includes a freebie. The actual packets contain much more!
Living or Non-Living? Let your students decide with these phonics-based science worksheets. If your students are learning to decode CVC words, you can help them use those words on a “real world” level by sorting living and non-living objects on a reading level they can handle. Students can learn vocabulary, decoding skills, and science concepts all at the same time!
In response to the “even-number-of-objects” requests, each lesson/worksheet now has two living and two non-living objects. Note: This set includes Short “A” only.
CURRENT FILE (Short “A”) Lesson 1: fan, man, jam, ram Lesson 2: Jan, van, Sam, ham Lesson 3: hat, bat, dad, lad Lesson 4: Nan, pan, man, can Lesson 5: cat, rat, map, cap Lesson 6: bat, mat, pad, dad Lesson 7: rag, bag, rat, bat
Thanks for the valuable feedback and requests.

Now That School’s Out. What Will We Do for the Summer?
Summer is the time for fun, fun, fun! School is out no more hitting the books. The only problem is that much of what was learned during the school year is forgotten, “out of sight, out of mind.” Not so with these fun educational activities that will keep the children looking for more and not even realizing they’re learning.
I am SO thankful for the many teachers who know more than me and their willingness to share their expertise! There is no reason to reinvent the wheel! Here are some tried & true tools that have saved my time and sanity with distance learning!
Will a delayed start to kindergarten improve a child’s success in school? Many kindergartners have not experienced a full school year due to the pandemic. This re-post might help some parents and teachers in reaching what might be a more difficult than usual decision this year.

Are you looking for a fun “Spring” reinforcer activity to use with your students? Do your little ones love bugs? Then this fun FREEBIE is just the activity to use to keep your students engaged and learning!! There are two variations to use this activity.
Catch a Bug Game Directions for version #1: Print the bug jar (page 3) and the blank sheet of bugs (page 4) on card stock and laminate. Adhere velcro on the jar and bugs. Use as a token board or let the students take off a bug after they complete their speech or language target.
Directions for version #2: Print the bug jar (page 3) and the sheet of bugs with numbers (page 5) on card stock and laminate. Use an empty container and place all the bugs in the jar. I put paper clips on the bugs and then we used my magnetic fishing pole to catch bugs and earn points. The student with the most points wins the game!

Turning my thoughts to sunny days and warmer weather!!! Can’t you just smell spring in the air? Daffodils beginning to bloom, Lilac trees starting to flower, and Lilies of the Valley popping up. A vaccine for Covid-19 hopefully soon.
It’s been five weeks since we’ve been quarantined and it has taken me this long to even try to organize my thoughts (& life!) Well, still working on the life part. . . How are you all doing? Despite teaching 30+ years, I feel like a brand-new teacher again, attempting to get a handle on “distance learning”, “remote learning”, whatever you want to call it: learning without physically being with my students! Here are 5 tips to help ease the transition to distance learning.
This Coronavirus pandemic is extremely serious and stressful, but independent reading can be part of a useful solution to children learning at home. Now is a good time to hook kids on reading because they can choose their own books according to their own interests. At the same time, they can practice previously taught reading skills and improve in many ways.
Each year, my husband reads the book “My Side of the Mountain” to his science students. As a culminating activity, the students make falcon hoods since Sam has a peregrine falcon for hunting. Take a look at some of the falcon hoods his 6th grade students made in my latest blog post.

Who wants another spring clipart FREEBIE?! Great for adding a punch of color to covers, or to embellish your spring, Easter, or Earth day resources, these doodle flower illustrations are just the thing 🙂 There are 5 different images, each in 3 different color variations. White-filled blacklines are also included.
All pieces are high resolution 300 dpi PNG images on transparent backgrounds and can easily be layered into your projects and lesson materials.
What Are Doodle Clips? Doodle Clips are images created from sketching traditionally (on paper), inking (blackline), then coloring either traditionally (with markers, pencils, or paint) or digitally. They tend to have a much more organic feel, and AREN’T composed of perfectly straight lines. There is beauty in imperfection, which is what I love most about Doodle Clips!
