This is a list of all of the Ohio standards as of August 2021. I use this sheet to document the date I utilized each standard with a little note about what I did and how beneficial it was. This helps me to document the use of all standards, as well as guide my lesson planning to incorporate all standards into my teaching as well as going over the ones I had previously noted would need more help. Simplicity is key with this note sheet/check sheet
Split your class into a couple of different teams, I used red, yellow, green, purple, blue and rainbow table. The slideshow asks different questions and then "randomly" picks a team to answer. Work individually and then ask your team! PERFECT review game that the kids loved. Only uses coins: quarter, dime, nickel and penny. Know their name, and what they are worth.

Explore magnets in a fun interactive way around the classroom. Allow your students to make hypothesis and then put them to the test with this interactive work sheet. The simplicity of this worksheet makes it age appropriate and illustrates a fun game for the students.
I used this tool as a guide to start a writing compacted with adjectives. The first thing I did was have the students draw their dream sandwich (of course most were sweet) and then describe it. They then used this form to write down describing words to help describe each part of their sandwich. Once the adjectives were written they wrote a paragraph about their sandwich with all of the adjectives they used. The kiddos absolutely loved this and their creations were adorable!
Linked to this bingo is a fun song my class adored! We used this song, and then they would break up into group of 2-4. In these groups they would take turns rolling a dice, and then placing a bingo chip over ONE of those coins. This takes strategy and knowledge while encouraging a fun, competitive game!
I have created a fun interactive way to work on number recognition. There are two worksheets: one with pre-made circles so the child knows exactly how many finger prints, stickers or dots down, and another where the child has to determine the number themselves. This is perfect for differentiated number identification! I usually do finger prints or I use dot-paints.
There are 5 different bingo boards, so this is perfect for a small group. I use letter cards and I draw one without showing them the letter. Make the sound of that letter and if they have that letter they can put a marker on that card. You can laminate to reuse, or they can use paint dobber to dob each sound. Perfect fun way to assess phonics.
