DeWitt's Doodlebugs

This writing journal has become my go-to tool for my writing instruction. It is the perfect booklet for guided reading/writing and Writer's Workshop experiences. Some of the features of this journal: Primary lines to encourage proper letter formation & placementAlphabet reference on each pageOpen space for word work or illustrationsIntended for double sided printing to conserve paper.Cover options include kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, and non-specific

This graphic organizer is perfect for introducing story elements & developing retell strategies. It also serves as an effective tool for comprehension checks and can provide accountability in reading/listening centers. After reading or listening to a story, students identify the main idea, character & setting, and sequence the events. This is easily differentiated by allowing students to draw or write their understanding. The organizer can be completed small bits at a time or all at once.

Thanks so much for viewing this freebie! This bright and colorful mat is a great tool for teaching young students place value concepts. This mat can be easily paired with manipulatives to encourage hands-on learning. The Rainbow Place Value tool can be used to play "Mystery Number" during small group instruction or for partner practice. Printing and laminating not only provides extra durability, but creates the opportunity for students to draw pictures and numbers with dry erase markers. In
