Syllable Count Freebie

We are working hard to determine the number of syllables in common words around the classroom. Maybe your students are working on this skill too...if so, why not download this freebie for them to try? My students love to grab a clipboard and go around the room searching for 1,2,3 or 4 syllable words. This packet has a Fall into Winter type theme. There are pages to help students find 1,2 syllable words as well as 1,2,3 or 2,3 or 2,3,4 syllable words. I really like to create materials that allow for differentiated learning. If some of your students are not quite catching on to syllables, give them the lower numbers, if your students are clapping along just fine, then challenge them with the higher syllable counts.
Either way, they should have a lot of fun. You can head over to my shops at  TPT or Teachers Notebook  to get your free set of Syllable Count Write the Room packet.

 And yes, its CCSS RF.3.2 and RF.1.2 ;-) Would love a little feedback on how this goes over in your classroom. THANKS!

A New Activity

Hi, It seems like forever since I've had time to sit down and work on a new fun activity for my students. AND have time to share it with other teachers online.
In class we have been working on learning a host of sight words. We have been working on reading and writing our words in sentences. Sometimes my kiddos have a hard time making up sentences so I wanted to create something to help them out a bit. My ROLL, WRITE, READ, DRAW packet is designed to provide practice, variety and fun.
To prepare for your kiddos... Choose the sheet(s) for students to work with. Provide materials for writing and drawing and a dice (1-6)

Each sheet has a focus sight word. Many sheets build upon various sight words, so be sure you expose students to the words to ensure success. Oh and yes, they are Common Core aligned. (CCSS are printed on each page)

Directions: Students roll the dice, match the number on the dice with a word in the word bank at the top of the page. The student fills in the blank in the sentence with the word from the word bank. Then the student draws a picture to match the completed sentence.

Sight Words: a, the, and, big, little, my, is, here, blue, red, see, it, one, yellow, can, in, make

This is a GREAT activity for your independent literacy/word work centers. Students can work side by side on the same sheet and create their own sentences and illustrations. You can also differentiate by assigning the more complex sentences to your stronger readers and writers.

Working on Comparing Objects

I am working with my students to help them learn about comparing objects and using words to describe what they see. I felt my math series went over it much too quickly for some of my kiddos, so I created this set of independent center activities to help some of my little ones as they learn. I figured I'm probably not the only one with kids who could benefit from more practice, so I am sharing this FREEBIE with anyone in need! ;-)
I've added the related Common Core Standards right on the master worksheet for easy reference as you plan your lessons.
 Just click over to my Teachers Notebook Shop to download a copy for your kiddos. Maybe while you're there you can add my shop to your favorites and get notification when new items are added.
I hope you find this useful...
