Alphabet and Digraph Posters

Hey! Since I'm now teaching dyslexic students to read, I need all things visual! So I created some alphabet and digraph posters to help my little friends at school! Here's a sample! You can find them at my TPT store.

I'm also working on a syllable division activity for my students. I am creating these so they can practice over the summer. It's an easy, awesome activity, that helps them understand syllables and word attack!! I will post it soon.

Apples, Fish, and Caterpillars!

In library this week we celebrated Johnny Appleseed's birthday by reading about his life in this book...

 

We also made our favorite tasting apples and hung them in the trees.... 

 

In K5 we made these apples

After reading The Rainbow Fish in K4 and K5... we made some fish... :)

Our caterpillars went with Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar.....

 

Reading!

4th grade hanging out in library...... reading!!

Enemy Pie

 

 In 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade we visited TumbleBooks.com and listened/watched the book Enemy Pie by Derek Munson. What a great story!! Everyone agreed that serving Enemy Pie to your enemies really works!! After the story, we enjoyed some Enemy Pie ourselves! You can find the recipe here.

Where The Wild Things Are

 

Today we read one of our favorites, Where The Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak, and made our "wild things"!

Two Bad Ants

In 2nd grade library time, we read Two Bad Ants by Chris Van Allsburg, and learned about inferences and a little bit about perspective. We learned that inferences are a conclusion a reader draws from the text based on their schema and various clues in the story. Then we wrote some inferences and made these ants!

A Bad Case of Stripes

I read this book to the third grade class and they loved it! Then we read it again and talked about cause and effect and WHY Camilla got her stripes. Here's a little craftivity we did with it.
