Elementary Goodies

A Writing Help reference for young writers. Excellent tool for revising & editing! I used a binding machine and created a cover and back page for protecting it. My kids love this. I have found many pieces for supporting students online but never a comprehensive help section that was ORGANIZED. I have included a table of contents and page numbers to help our writers quickly access what they are looking for! This is a work in progress & I will be adding pages soon. Enjoy! Please let me know if

Reward your students for free using things they beg for anyway! Switch Seats Wear PJs to School Wear Slippers To School Music During Work Visit Another Class Bring Stuffed Animal To School Show & Tell Free Drink Sit in Teacher's Chair Use Stickers and much more!!!

Use these cute name plates to help your little ones learn to write their names correctly. A border of leopard print surrounds a border of zebra print filled in by giraffe print. Ravie text states " My Name Is:" Followed by a Penmanship line for you to write in their name. The best part- you can laminate these, write it in with vis-a-vis & reuse next year if you wish! When printing, the file prints 2 per page so you will need to print additional copies for your entire class size.
