Are you wanting to know how to set up and manage these first grade task boxes? No problem. I offered a FREE WEBINAR on June 24! Simply sign up to watch the replay. The samples are from the kindergarten set, but you will get an idea of how we use them.

ADDITIONAL FAQ'S:

Q: Where can I find the colorful task card boxes?

A: I bought them on AMAZON, but you can also find them at MICHAELS.

Q: How many boxes will I need?

A: There are over 80 tasks in the unit. It depends if you want to prepare them ALL ahead of time, so you can just swap them out quickly... or if you want to rotate them in. Some tasks you may not need at the beginning of the year (like long vowels) and you may want to rotate them in. That being said, I think you should have at least two sets (one for ELA and one for math).

Q: I don't know how to edit the sight word cards or unzip a file.

A: You can read this blog post for technical support! TECHNICAL TROUBLESHOOTING TUTORIALS FOR TEACHERS WHO USE TPT

Met expectations
Great value
Standards-aligned
This resource has helped me with activities for my students who are not able to complete grade level work on their own, but can work independently through skills that they have already mastered. It has saved me time when it comes to planning as well. I am able to look through the cards and match them with the skills that I want to touch on with my lower level students!
