A gingerbread CVC word bakery is a fun, hands-on phonics activity where students “build” simple consonant-vowel-consonant words using gingerbread-themed pieces, like cookies for letters and trays for word mats. This resource supports lower-grade learners and beginning readers by helping them practice letter-sound blending, segmenting, and decoding in an engaging, playful way that strengthens early reading skills while keeping them excited about learning.
Unlabeled visual labels for school materials! I print these out on card stock, write the specific material, laminate, and put a magnet on the back for easy use! These are a life saver in helping me not repeat instructions as often.
A great way to start each morning! This is separated by day, and asks an ice breaker question, goes over days of the week and months of the year, has students practice saying the date, and weather. This is geared towards younger grades due to DOK bell work questions, although you can always reach out and I can change the bell work questions/ anything else if you want!
