Tangled with Teaching

This powerpoint summarizes the story of Jamestown, the first English colony. My students love reading along and clicking through the colorful pictures illustrating the story. The words are lyrics to accompany the song Jamestown, Virginia by Classroom Classics, but the powerpoint can be used with or without the music. Hope you enjoy!

This powerpoint is a fun story about a cowgirl who buys a horse that is simply too rough and tough. It teaches students about the 6 sounds of ough, increases reading fluency, improves vocabulary and spelling. Please rate it!

This powerpoint presentation highlights words ending with tion and sion. They can be tricky words, but my first grade students love to click through the slides and read or sing the words together. It is wonderful for reading fluency, vocabulary, and spelling. I've used it with kindergarteners and they were reading and spelling words like presentation, education, and determination by the end of the year!

This powerpoint presentation showcases two friends who go on an adventure and meet many other friends whose names contain consonant blends. My students love clicking through the slides and reciting the story, time and again. We highlight the consonant blends we hear, then try to think of all the others we can think of that contain the same consonant blends. It's a fun, visual, and interactive way to teach about consonant blends. *Please note that this powerpoint is designed to accompany a song,

This powerpoint presentation highlights several key points of Abraham Lincoln, 16th president of the United States.
