Literacy Center Rotation Cards! This is a great way to organize your rotations so students know exactly where to go. You can either use a pocket chart, or attach magnets to the back of each card. This includes cards for up to 5 rotations and 5 groups, as well as a header. Bold colors help students know where to go from anywhere in the room. Can be used for Daily 5 with Read to Self, Read to Someone, Word Work, Work on Writing, Listen to Reading, Meet with Teacher, and Free Choice. It also has

I hand this out to parents during our Open House or during Back to School Night. It is just a way to show parents that you are interested in knowing their child as an individual. It also gives you good information about your students that helps you get to know them! I keep these in a binder with any notes I take throughout the year as well as parent communication.

I use this voice level chart to demonstrate my expectations, and improve my behavior management. I have this poster hanging in my classroom for quick reference. Hopefully you can use it in yours as well! I have included one poster with levels 0 - 3 and another with levels 0 - 4. I have also included single posters with each number on it. Enjoy!

This is a template I use for exit tickets after lessons as a quick formative assessment. I keep copies of blank and lined papers to use when I need them, but I also will create some ahead of time with directions or math problems for students to solve. This document allows you to print the large and small version both lined and blank as well as copies to edit for directions or problems. The font used is called KG Miss Kindergarten at http://www.kimberlygeswein.com/. You can download her font, or

This is a template I use to create exit tickets. This offers both lined and blank space for students to answer either with words or through drawing pictures. Enjoy!

I created this product for my own students as we discussed narrative writing. It was motivating for them to "publish" their work in their own booklet! It includes a place for a title, cover photo, as well as pages for illustrations and text. Simply print the PDF double sided, and your students will have 7 pages to write and illustrate their story. You can add more pages to the booklet by printing off the 3rd and 4th page multiple times. I included a small box at the bottom for page numbers. I ho

I used this as a quick assessment after reading the story The Little House by Virginia Lee Burton. Students have to number the pictures in the order they occurred, and then write 2 changes that happened to the Little House's community.

I created this product to use with the coding robot Ozobots. Students can practice sequencing by connecting the various items that the little old lady swallows. I also included boxes for students to be able to code the story. If your school does not have Ozobots, you can simply use the photos as a sequencing activity. Students can draw lines from item to item in the order that the little old lady swallow them. This product includes sequencing from Lucille Colandro's stories The little old l

I created this journal for one of my students who has been having trouble recognizing their feelings. This gives them the opportunity to recognize what they are feeling, and then also identify why they feel that way. I included a cover sheet, list of feelings that students can decorate to make their own, and then space for them to write. I printed this double sided, hole punched it, and put it in a folder. I hope this can benefit your students as much as mine!

This number sense inventory allows you to quickly and easily assess your student's number sense. It includes prompts to determine their ability across the number sense learning progression (Subatizing, Comparison, One to One Correspondence, Cardinality, Hierarchical inclusion, and Conservation). This is a great tool to use to determine where to begin working with students. I have also included additional prompts if students have basic number sense. This includes skip counting, even and odd, par

Colored Polka Dot Math rotation cards. Includes cards for up to 5 rotations and 5 groups, as well as a Math rotations header. Centers include Math by Myself, Work with Teacher, Flash Cards, Math Games, Math on Computers and Partner Math. I included pages for different teachers to match the needs of your classroom. Download the zipped file and print either the PDF or the PowerPoint slides based on your needs. If you like this product please check out my Daily 5 Rotation cards below: https://www.

I use this voice level chart to demonstrate my expectations, and improve my behavior management. I have this poster hanging in my classroom for quick reference. Hopefully you can use it in yours as well! I have included one poster with levels 0 - 3 and another with levels 0 - 4 as well as single posters with each number on it to place in different areas of the classroom. Enjoy!

Do you have a struggling reader in your classroom? Of course you do! Every year teachers are faced with struggling readers, and not all the resources for how to help them. I have created this intervention plan to give you the tools you need to help your struggling readers! I begin with 5 assessments that you can give your student to understand where they are as a reader (phonological awareness, concept of print, phonics screener, sight word assessment, spelling inventory) as well as a student c

This resource allows you to quickly practice or assess your students phonological awareness. It addresses all areas of phonological awareness including: sentence segmentation, blending, syllable and sound segmentation, deletion, rhyme recognition and generation, categorization, and phonemic awareness (isolation, identification, addition, deletion and substitution). This is best utilized in small group reading instruction. It includes spaces for 6 students to practice each area over 5 dates. Hop

This is a great resource for your students to practice reading words with the -sh, -ch,- th, and -wh digraph. Simply print (on colorful paper if you would like), cut, laminate, and assemble! Students slide the onset or rime through the slot to build words that either begin or end with the digraph. Includes 10 words for the beginning or end of each digraph (excluding wh) Hope you enjoy!

We all know that a fantastic way to improve student's learning is by helping them reflect and be a part of the learning process. That is where goal setting comes in! This resource helps when conferring with students to help them set their own reading and writing goals. I have included two different reading goal bookmarks for primary and intermediate grades. Primary focuses on Decoding, Fluency, Accuracy and Comprehension, while Intermediate focuses on Vocabulary, Accuracy, Fluency and Comprehen

This is a fun activity I used with my class to review contractions. Students glue 2 legs to the corresponding body segment with the contraction. It is differentiated for you to use the one pre filled in or have students write in their own. Enjoy!

Students are able to practice their graphing skills with a fun twist. Just add skittles. Includes a place to create the graph as well as questions to answer.

I did this fun graphing activity with my 1st graders during Read Across America Week after reading One fish, Two Fish, Red fish, Blue fish. Students created picture graphs using multi colored goldfish, and answered questions afterwards. Enjoy!

This is a simply way to keep parents in the loop about their child's academic and behavioral progress throughout the year. I have included 3 different versions for you to choose from based on your student's needs. The front includes a space to grade students as S: Struggling NE: Needs Improvement P: Proficient (Goal) E: Exceed Expectations in Reading, Writing and Math. There is also a section to indicate their behavior as Outstanding, Great, Multiple Reminders and Needs Improvement. The ba
