Quarterly Reading Progress Graphs

Happy Monday!

It is the time of the year that things are winding down and I am thinking about parent-teacher conferences and grade cards. 

I created graphs for each student to measure their DRA, Sight Words and Fluency quarterly.

I typed in our quarterly expectation but I also included a blank copy without the quarterly expectation in the file download.

You can download them for FREE here!  :)

Font Confusion

Many of my little ones are having trouble reading words with a different font like the I, g and a.  I created this short packet with teaching posters and a sorting activity to reinforce different font.  I also have a b/d sorting sheet at the end of the packet. 

You can download it here for FREE!  ;)

Have a great Monday!

2D Shapes

Ahh!  I am FINALLY finished!  It is nearing the end of the quarter and many of my little ones have still needed more 2D shape practice.  Using the motivational shape bags sure did the trick for MOST of my students!  I couldn't believe how hard and motivated that they worked just to eat half of a Little Debbie cupcake.  :)

I created this packet to use for independent practice.  The worksheets are simple and increase in difficulty ONLY slightly. 

Here is a peak:

Only ONE more day until a much needed weekend!

2nd Grade Common Core Standards

I received a few emails asking to make 2nd Grade Common Core Recording I Can Notebooks.
It sure made me appreciate 2nd grade teachers.  Their math gets much heavier than first grade!

Animal Unit Finished!

I will be posting my students photos soon!  They have already finished their fantasy animal stories.  This week they are working on their non-fiction stories and we are adding our labeled animals to the shared first grade animal hallway display!  ;)

Have I Got the Book for You!

This is my absolute new favorite children's book!  I saw it recommended on proteacher.  I ordered it and just picked it up from the teacher store.  I am going to use it with persuasive writing and have my students try to sell something later in the year.

This book is absolutely hilarious.  I recommend it to all ages!
