I am a primary school teacher with a knack for teaching to the multiple intelligences, particularly the visual learner. My resources are inspired by my experience of teaching different students with unique ways of learning. I love the magic of helping them to make connections in learning. The grades 3-5 are mostly what I cater to, however, I also have some great resources for grades 1 and 2.

The Three Little Pigs - Retelling Worksheets

(0)
The Three Little Pigs - Story Retelling Worksheets - with picture writing prompts. This mini-book is for your students to retell the traditional story of The Three Little Pigs. It is for grades 2-4 and makes a great addition to any folk tales unit. Instructions for the teacher: Just print out either the colour or black and white version and make copies of each page. Then guillotine them across the middle. That’s it. The instructions on page two are for your students to be able to do the rest for themselves. I kept it as simple as possible for them to easily make their own mini-book story retelling. Pages 2-8: Mini-book pages for the story of The Three Little Pigs. Pages 9-11: Longer sheets for older students who may not need the picture prompts. Pages: 12-21: Black and White versions of everything above. TeacherNyla Nyla's Crafty Teaching

The compound words in this set are: outdoor, raincloud, ladybug, butterfly, rainbow, dragonfly, flowerpot, eggshell, honeybee, grasshopper, raindrop, bullfrog, bluebird, toadstool, thundercloud, buttercup, honeypot, flowerbed, springtime, doghouse, raincoat, beekeeper, overcast, and honeycomb. The size of these cards may be right for you but if you would prefer to have them smaller, you can always set them to print on a smaller scale such as 4 pages per printing page. As long as you print the files from your already saved files, these instructions would work because if you print straight from the downloaded page on the web, the printing settings of the web page would be limited. In Adobe Reader, go to print, under page sizing and handling, select ‘multiple', then under ‘Pages per Sheet' select 4. It will also give you the option of choosing landscape or portrait orientation. You can play with these to see which layout optimizes the space on the paper the best. TeacherNyla Nyla's Crafty Teaching

This is a set of 25 Idiom Posters which display common idioms, their definitions (both literal and figuratively), with pictures and examples with the idioms being used in a sentence related to the picture shown. Your students will have a lot of fun learning about idioms! This file is a wonderful tool for teaching idioms because it has idioms that are current and presented in an attractive format. It incorporates simple definitions and examples of common idioms. Idioms are very difficult for English Language Learners but the illustrations are a huge help for preventing students from taking the literal meaning of each idiom. You can also use it to make a bulletin board of idioms. You can also print them out on a smaller scale so that they can be used as revision flash cards. I included as many pictures (clip art) as I could because I like to have students make connections between the new vocabulary and the everyday situations that they are already familiar with.
