I created a skills sheet for each of the stories in the new 2013 Reading Street. It has the spelling words, high frequency words, amazing words, comprehension strategies, phonics, and writing skills for each story in unit one. I plan putting it on the back of my newsletter each week so my students' parents can see what skills we are working on (and I don't have to worry about typing all that information on the newletter!!). The stories included are: -The Twin Club -Exploring Space with an Astr

I love using the four square method but, as my students began writing more, there wasn't enough room for them to write in the boxes. Not to mention how hard it was for them to write in straight, neat lines. Therefore, I created a set of graphic organizers that allow for growth (and neatness).

I created a set of spelling activities to go along with unit one in the Reading Street series. The first day, students cut out the words and sort them. The next three days include: unscramble the words, three times each and ABC order. On Friday, students can play spelling games like speed sorts or blind sorts.

This is a quick reference guide for each story in the Scott Foresman Reading Street- Reading Readiness. It is a great way to help plan lessons or to use as a guide for parents. The stories included are: Sam Snap! Tip and Tam The Big Top School Day Farmers Market More detailed units for first grade will be coming in July. Please stop by my store to see them.

These are three quick and easy foldables that can be used in any subject. The examples I included are for math. I created these half way through the school year for my students to use with their math journals. They love them and I often see my students looking through their journals to "admire" their work! What a great way to encourage students to review skills.

This is a set of two worksheets that I used with my students when we did a unit on tall tales.

This is a set of word lists for each decodable story in unit 1 of the new Reading Street series. The decodable books go along with: -Exploring Space with an Astronaut: Ike and Ace, Pete Can Bake, and We Can Do a Lot -Henry and Mudge and the Starry Night: On Stage, Fran and Flip, Can Ben Skate? -A Walk in the Desert: Lifting, Stan and Bev, Showing and Telling -The Strongest One: Will the Whale, Chet Checks, Shane's Itch (The first story, The Twin Club, is a freebie.) I made each story i

This is a list of all the words in the decodable reader stories Pages 97-240 which are covered in Unit One of Scott Foresman's Reading Street. You could have students practice the words with a partner, in small group, or send home to practice with their family. You could also use these lists as a form of assessment.

I created this worksheet for students to write who the main character is and draw a picture. It's a quick and fun writing activity that goes along with the common core standards.

This is a list of all the words in the decodable reader stories Pages 1-96. You could have students practice the words with a partner, in small group, or send home to practice with their family. You could also use these lists as a form of assessment. More lists will be available in July. Please let me know if you feel like this will be a useful tool.

This would be a great addition to watching the movie Twas the Night, reading the book, or seeing a play based on the story. My students recently went to see the play and I created this worksheet for them to fill out when we returned. My students then used this information to help them write a story about the play.

This is a very sweet story about an old buffalo who seems to have lost interest in keeping up with the herd until he meets a calf who needs someone to look after him. This would be great to use along with in science for Habitats or Social Studies when learning about Native Americans. For Reading, I created worksheets that cover: -Asking and answering questions- RL2.1 -Cause/ Effect -How the character responds to major events- RL2.3 -Present/ Past tense verbs - Adjectives that Compare (-er, -est)
