Our team used this story board to help our kids sequence their fairy tales. They added temporal words as well as speech bubbles through out our fairy tale writing unit.
This document can be used under the document camera or made into a poster.
*** JUST ADDED TO MY TpT STORE: FAIRYTALES WRITING PROJECT! File includes NEW and IMPROVED storyboard, organizer, cover pages and story pages. Check it out :)
Run-on sentences has to be one of the biggest obstacles for second grade friends on their path to great writing. This is normally something that is taught in first grade, but I wanted to create a review type of activity for the beginning of the school year.
This file includes:
- two posters: explanation of run-on sentence & examples of run-on sentences
- three activities:
-- run-on fixer upper
-- run-on rover
-- wear it proud
This file includes color and printer-friendly b&w copies :)
Enjoy!
A very tough aspect of personal narratives for 2nd graders is sticking to one specific event. I hope the poster, organizers, etc. will help your kids focus on that one personal event they wish to share with you.
File includes:
Personal Narratives Poster
Personal Events Organizer (revised)
Personal Event Details Organizer
Event Sequence Organizers
Final draft cover pages
Writing paper with/without drawing box
Don't forget to download my free personal narrative rubric/scoring guide :)
Enjoy!
This is a really fun and creative idea that help students visualize the differences between the different areas we live in.
The file includes:
* three posters on rural, suburban and urban areas that explain what makes each area distinct
* directions and pictures of the hanging mobile
* five sets of mobiles to choose from with different fonts
Enjoy :)
This is a great resource to use while teaching your kids to write a Procedural/"How-To" piece.
This file includes:
* Characteristics of a Procedural Writing Piece posters
* Topics organizer
* "How-To" sequence organizer
* Cover pages and writing pages for each step of their piece
* Materials organizer (rough and final draft)
* Introduction and conclusion pages for final draft
Enjoy!
If you like to open your lessons with your objective/learning target then these posters are a cute way to present them to the class. At my school, we use "I can" statements so I print out a set of these posters, laminate them, and write on them with a dry/wet erase marker.
Subjects: math, reading, writing, science, social studies
Enjoy!

I made this log in order to document specific behaviors. I made copies and carried it on a clipboard to help all staff involved jot down quick notes. This was very handy when it was time to present information on specific behaviors (what were the behaviors, frequency, etc.).
This is a simple form that you can fill out either before or during the conference. You can highlight student's strengths, areas of growth, and concerns. Also, there is a section for comments and/or questions.
You can give this filled out form to the parent so that they know in what areas they can help their child.
So, I scoured the web looking for a 'long vowels' activity that contains one syllable words and is appropriate for second grade. That didn't go well :/. So I decided to make my own.
This activity includes 24 cards and a recording sheet.
It is aligned with RF 2.3 in the Common Core Standards.
Enjoy!

This is an interesting activity in that it helps your kids learn that there are exceptions to the rule of "drop the y and add ies". This is an engaging activity your students will enjoy.
I just added a sentence and drawing activity to this file :).
ENJOY!
This activity allows your kids to create their very own story problems. They also show how to solve the problem and the answer on the back (in answer sheet). The story problems can be collected and made into a class book. Students will be able to read each other's story problems and try and solve them. They can check their work afterwards by looking at the answer sheet on the back.
This is a simple book report form your students can use as a reading response or to show comprehension of the text.
They also have the opportunity to rate the book and tell why they do/do not recommend this book to a friend.
I was thinking of a fun way to drill a basic concept into the minds of my lovely children and this is what I came up with.
This file includes:
"What's My Number?" cards A-Z (up to the hundreds cards set & up to the tens card set)
"What's My Number?" recording sheet
Place Value Bag Labels
Place Value Number Cards
Place Value Mat
Place Value recording Sheet
(FIle includes printer friendly b&w :)
ENJOY!
We noticed some of our kids were still struggling with adding money. So I made this engaging activity that I used as a morning warm up but you can also use it as a a center or activity.
All you need are baggies of coins for partners :).
Enjoy!
This is a recording sheet to help students tell the purpose of why they, as the author, write the piece. This can be used when teaching the reading strategy: recognizing and identifying the author's purpose for writing a text/passage/story/book.
Enjoy!

I've had book bin labels in the past that have been so specific that I didnt have/find any books to put into them. This year, I am going to go a simpler route. I made fiction, non-fiction, hard cover, and featured books labels to place on my bins.
Maybe they'll be useful to you too :)
Enjoy!

I made these to help keep the teacher's desk in my classroom neat and organized. You can print these on card stock, laminate, and cut them out. I paper clip these to any area or document that needs it but you can use these however you'd like.
These are perfect for teachers that job share and need to keep things neat, organized, and clearly labeled for each other to find.
Students draw 4 one-digt cards and create two-two digit numbers. They then create a subtraction equation and solve it.
There's room for 4 equations. This is a great morning warm up or a fun activity for students to review their subtraction skills.
Directions are also on the sheet :).
