This Initial Sounds Center is a perfect center for any Reception or Year 1 classroom! At the center, students clip the letter on the clothes pin to the picture with the matching beginning sound.
The beginning sounds sheets are included in colour and black & white.
To organise this center, I print each letter chart with a different coloured background and then laminate. Using a different coloured marker for each clothes pin set, I write lower case letters from a to z. Each set is put in a plastic ziploc baggie. I use different coloured markers for each set of clothes pins so that students do not mix up their clothes pins.
The pictures for initial sounds are as follows:
a - astronaut
b - boat
c - car
d - duck
e - elf
f - flower
g - guitar
h - helicopter
i - iguana
j - jar
k - kite
l - lamp
m - money
n - necklace
o - otter
p - pig
q - queen
r - rocket
s - sun
t - tape
u - umbrella
v - vegetables
w - window
x - x-ray
y - yarn
z - zipper

These spinners are great for Centres. One student, who I call the Score Keeper, is the spinner, answer checker, and score keeper. The Score Keeper spins the spinner and reads the time. Students in the group put the time on their clocks, and the Score Keeper uses the answer key to check. I have a class set of Judy Clocks that my kids LOVE to use, but I’ve included a paper clock you could use in this resource.
Students can practice their comprehension and retelling skills by sequencing the events of Jack and the Beanstalk. This resource is also perfect for practicing written story retelling. There are no captions, so students could sequence and write their own captions for the pictures. This resource would make a great addition to any Jack and the Beanstalk unit and would make a great Literacy or Writing Workshop centre!
This resource is 16 pages in total: 4 pages colour sequencing, 4 pages black and white sequencing, 4 pages answer key, and 4 pages of a sequencing chart.
I use this planning template for my long form planning. When you're spending hours typing out lesson plans, it's good to have something pretty to look at. Don't you agree?
In this resource you will find a variety of activities to take your learners through the classic fairytale The Princess and the Pea. These resources are an excellent addition to any fairytale unit and are geared toward years 2 and 3.
There are vocabulary word cards with pictures, which would be great for pre-teaching the words/character students will encounter when reading The Princess and the Pea. There are two graphic organizers which allow students to organize the text by Story Elements or by Beginning/Middle/End. This resource contains Picture Story Sequencing in full color and in black and white. The Picture Story Sequencing does not have captions, so students could retell the story orally or in their own written words. This resource also has a differentiated comprehension activity which focuses on using textual evidence and inferencing.

This product is geared toward Years 1, 2 and 3 to improve fluency by reading in different voices. This activity forces students to focus on intonation and creativity. For speedy, monotoned readers, this activity forces them to slow down and use a different kind of voice.
Some cards prompt students to read like they're underwater (students would plug their noses and read) or read like they're a monkey or read like they're a teacher . . . to name a few.
In this product, you will find 3 versions of fluency cards and 2 versions of fluency spinners. Some in black and white and some in colour. Click the Preview for a closer look.
The spinners are available in large and small versions. The small spinners would work great for placing in Interactive Notebooks.

In this product, you will find a differentiated comprehension activity and a PowerPoint to accompany the comprehension activity, along with some other lesson ideas you could incorporate into this resource.
These learning activities also double as STEM lessons! When we are finished learning about how the Ancient Egyptians built pyramids, I have my students bring in tissue/shoe boxes. Then in groups, the students go through the process of building a pyramid: drawing one, making a model with blocks and finally building their own pyramid with shoe/tissue boxes. This activity allows for a ton of self assessment and reflection upon completion of the unit.
