Synonym, antonym, prefix, suffix worksheet game

The cross out game asks students to use their vocabulary skills to cross out words from a list, leaving them with a saying. The first group or person to discover the saying is the winner. Students are asked to cross out words with specific affixes, and to find synonyms and antonyms. They are also asked to cross out nouns, adjectives, etc. I like to have to these worksheets handy for students that complete their work quickly. They require no pieces or parts! All you need is a pencil.

Finding the Theme PowerPoint activity

I have been having the hardest time figuring out how to teach my students about theme as we prepare for the State tests. I created this powerpoint to give them a clear defintion and provide them with a chance to practice using common books and movies. It really helped to clear things up for them.

Book Talk Student Handout

This is a handout that students can complete prior to giving a book talk in front of the class. It allow students to plan what they are going to say and which passage they will read to the class. Students will provide a summary, a star rating, and a critique of the book. It also serves as a check for teachers who want to verify that students have read the book and gives them something tangible that they can provide a grade for.

Awards & shining teacher moments

I was selected Teacher of the Year for my building the first year I taught. It really was unexpected and an honor! This past year, my 8th graders selected me as Teacher of the Quarter for our middle school! Awards are never my intention, but it really is nice to be recognized for your hard work, especially by your students! I am very proud to say that my husband has done very well on the Ohio Achievement Assessments. He was able to achieve a 100% passage rate on both the reading and math assessments for three years in row!

My own education history

My husband and I both attended Bowling Green State University for undergrad, but we didn't meet until we began our Masters degree program in Reading!
