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.
This is a great resource you can use again and again. It has:
Pronunciation of Latin American Spanish, Easy Phrases For Medical Situations, Etc; Longer Medical Context Material; Handy List Of Medical Vocabulary; Spanish Grammar Sketch. ————————————————————— To get money-saving bonus points TpT says you can purchase and leave a fair rating for this product.

The Spanish herein is the more informal Latino Spanish actually used by most students from Latin America rather than the formal Castillian of Spain so there are some differences in grammar, spelling and or vocabulary even as there are with American and British English.
This is supportive of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) but does not thereby or otherwise imply any approval from the founders or others of the CCSS.

The law and racial tensions with Native Americans in Montana 1948 add to the Wild west feel of the novel.
Larry Watson’s Montana 1948 recalls a time when the West was becoming civilized- fences were going up, towns were growing, and families were making names for themselves. The Hayden family always had meant the law in Mercer County, and as narrator David recalls, his father, the Sheriff had an easy time at his job- until one day his brother Frank decided to take liberties with an Indian girl while tending to her as doctor. Frank kills her to keep her quiet, and the book’s conflicts take off as brother is pitted against brother.
Included in this 4 page document are over 20 study guide questions to handout while reading the book, including an answer key for teacher’s reference.

In my classroom, students always ask for passes, often when you are in the middle of teaching, or at a time that they should not be able to go.
To try to help alleviate this, I have made this “Can I Use a Pass?” sign. It can be posted in a few places in the classroom, and can answer many of those questions simply by pointing to it, and training students to check there before asking for a pass.
It is very simple, and could easily be modified to fit your needs, but the concept might help your classroom. A good thing to keep in mind as you think about procedures and organization over the summer.

Winter Math Activity: Do your students struggle to compare fractions? Do they need a fun, motivating, hands-on way to look at fractions? This freebie has students comparing fractions by coloring in the snowman fractions and then deciding which one is greater.
There are two different versions of this freebie. The color version starts on page 4 and goes through page 5. The black and white version starts on page 3 and goes through page 4. To complete, students will need to color in each fraction shown above each snowman. This will mean students need a basic understanding of what a fraction is before completing this activity.
Some possible ways to use this product:
• Use the color version as a center/laminate to use again and again.
• Use the black and white version as independent work/practice before a lesson.
• Use the black and white version as an assessment to see how students are doing during your fractions unit.
• Use either version at your teacher table as a small group lesson.
There is a set of 2 pages (black and white or color) that are purposely identical to reflect different ways of asking the question/allow you as a teacher to differentiate to meet the needs of your students. The first is the basic question of comparing which is greater, the second requires students to use the symbolic symbols of greater than (>), less than (<), or equal to (=).
If You Need More Fraction Skills, check out my paid version
which includes:
• Pages 5-6/13-14: comparing fractions with the same denominator (more/less pieces)
• Pages 7-8/15-16: comparing fractions with the same numerator (size of the pieces)
• Pages 9-10/17-18: comparing fractions with the same numerator (size of the pieces, numerator greater than one)
• Page 11/19: comparing fractions that are equivalent (=) and close to equivalent
