Welcome to my TPT! I'm in my 16th year of teaching, all in Title I settings. I love making learning engaging and applicable for ALL of my students!
I am currently a 1st Grade teacher but have also taught Kindergarten, Fourth Grade, and 5th Grade.
We all know the foundational reading skills are the core of student success in the primary grades.

Making learning figurative language fun! This product includes 66 different idioms that students can draw the literal and figurative meanings of the idiom and then also has a place for them to write what the figurative definition is! My students love this activity every year and they're such a fun conversation starter when we hang them up in the hall!
Students can practice their knowledge of consonant digraphs through sorting! Picture sorts assess the student's knowledge of the sounds rather than matching the letters in the sort. Pictures are basic consonant digraphs but an answer key is included for any of those pictures that make you go "hmm."
Have your students practice their understanding of the /ar/ vs /er/ sound in this fun sort that includes well-known objects without words so they truly are showing their understanding of the sounds! Answer key provided if any pictures get hung up on!

Practice money and place value concepts- Students will identify the amount of 10s and 1s in each picture and then find 10 more or 10 less in each one. Great for solidifying place value and early money concepts!
Make CKLA a bit more exciting and accessible to your firsties! This product includes the key vocabulary word from each lesson in Domain 5. The poster includes the word, a corresponding picture, and sentence. Hang these up as you move through the Domain to keep this academic language at the forefront of your lessons! **This is not meant to replace anything from CKLA, but is meant to use as a supplement when already using the program**
Check your students' skills on Place Value to Tens-- Includes counting on by 1s and 10s, identifying numbers with 10-frames, drawing and identifying 10s and ones, and grouping tens and writing numbers.
Send this packet home with students or give it to parents at conferences to show them how to assist their students in gaining spelling skills through the use of sound boxes. Can be used for any words up to 4 sounds.
Students need extra practice with partitioning shapes into halves and quarters? This 2 page practice is just the ticket! Will work for any 1st grade math level with time to the hour and half hour as a standard, but specifically designed to follow Zearn and/or Engage NY's curriculum. *This is not meant to replace the curriculum, but add extra practice for those who need it to achieve mastery! **Growing Bundle for all of Mission 5 (Shapes, fractions, and time) coming soon! ****Make sure to follow
Assess your students skills on their two dimensional shape and fractions (equal, half, fourths) knowledge. No pattern blocks are needed to complete this test.
