I made this worksheet for my class in second grade. I have seen clue word worksheets with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, but my kids didn't need that. These are the clue words that I have seen used in math word problems. This is great for group discussion and whole class teaching.

To introduce coin counting to my kids, I read them the book, "Curious George Saves His Pennies." The story mentions specific coin amounts. I decided to make a companion worksheet set to connect to the story. Any cross-curricular connections are helpful. If you don't have the book, you can find it read on YouTube by multiple people.

I have found that children have difficulty hearing the difference between f and th. This is a worksheet with similar sounding words, with the only difference is f or th. To remind teachers and students, "/TH/" is said with your tongue in between your top and bottom teeth with the air passing through your teeth.

I kept looking for a worksheet with just one option per short vowel sound as a formative assessment in my small group, and I couldn't find it! So, I made it. I kept it animal themed so the kids would not be confused. Simple, easy formative assessment or exit ticket. (I also discovered kids confuse short e and short i the most, so I made a worksheet for just those two, too.)

This is a worksheet for students struggling with the difference between short e and short i. This is difficult for ELL students in particular. This is a perfect formative assessment or exit ticket for small groups.

This worksheet uses tens and ones blocks to explain regrouping. It has step by step instructions, and an easy way for the kiddos to see the ten being ungrouped. This works as a first worksheet after use of manipulatives.

This worksheet guides students to retell a story in sequence and talking about characters, setting, and main idea. A fun visual flow chart helps them ask themselves the questions of retell. I have two versions, one for younger students who need middle lines, and one for older students with blank lines.

I have two versions of a story retell visual for kids to remember an order to retell the story. It guides them through sequence, characters, setting, and main idea. I have used it as a game with points, where the bottom tier is one point (or candy), and the middle is two, and so on. The kids love it!
