Circle Time Sentence Starters
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Social Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Not Grade Specific, Centers, Activities

Facilitating rich student sharing during community circle time builds essential communication skills. Yet prompting deep back-and-forth discussion versus one-word responses from young children tests even veteran teachers. These sentence starter cards involve every student in conversational bonding and insight sharing through thoughtfully designed, developmentally appropriate question cues. The set includes 48 double-sided language prompt cards covering getting-to-know you topics like family, pets, friends, feelings, strengths/challenges and more. Sample starters include: My favorite thing to do with my family is... When someone gives me a hug I feel... My favorite place to be is... I get scared when... My friends like that I... Something I want to learn more about is... I feel proud when I... Open sentence shapes spark diverse responses while structured phrasing still scaffolds early narrators. Children gain confidence feeding off peers’ modeled shares first. Teachers can target specific emotional, social or academic domains needing growth through selected prompts. Cards also work one-on-one for children hesitant to share in groups. Far beyond boring roll-call questions, these lively discussion catalysts infuse community vibes, self-esteem and listening skills into circle time learning. Students open up insighting their innermost thoughts, joys, worries and wonderings! These cards can be laminated for use time and time again.

Here is an ultra fun game to help pupils learn to sound out words with both the long and short forms of OO as in moon and book. When introducing OO words, many children have particular difficulty sounding out short OO words. This game can take the stress out of learning. How to play The game involves each player having a baseboard upon which to build his/her tower. Players aim to be the first to build their tower and win! Word cards containing both long and short OO words are scattered on the table - with an 'oops' card hidden amongst them! Players take turns to choose a card. If it is read correctly, the player places it on his/her baseboard and begins to build a tower. Teachers and parents may give the child as much help as needed to read each word and turn it into a teaching opportunity. With more confident children, you can change the rules so that the card is returned face down to the table if it is not read correctly. If a player chooses the 'Oops' card, then the whole tower is wiped off the player's board and the cards are returned to the table, face down and play continues until someone manages to build their tower. Your pupils will have so much fun they will forget that they are learning! Games take the pain out of learning! Ease of preparation: The game is easy to make: simply print the baseboards and desired word cards, then cut up the word cards. Full instructions included Who can use the Build a Tower: OO game?

Sorting Activity: Animals - Non-identicals

Sorting Activity: Animals - Non-identicals
Special Resources, Special Education Needs (SEN), Math, Early Math, Science, Basic Science, Preschool, Grade 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, Activities

This downloadable PDF is an educational activity that involves sorting non-identical animals. Why we teach sorting and grouping - Sorting and grouping are important skills for young children to learn because they lay the foundation for many other important academic and life skills. Sorting and grouping involve categorizing objects based on common attributes such as color, shape, size, and function. These skills help children to understand and make sense of the world around them. This activity begins by presenting the learner with two large cards, one depicting a dog and the other a cat, to introduce the two animal categories. Then, the learner is given 12 smaller cards, 6 with different pictures of a dog and 6 with different pictures of a cat. The task is to sort the smaller cards into two piles, one for dogs and the other for cats, based on the animal depicted in the picture. The learner is encouraged to observe and compare the pictures to identify the distinguishing features of each animal and group them accordingly. As the learner progresses, the activity can be made more challenging by introducing pictures of animals that are similar such as a horse and a cow, to test their ability to differentiate between similar but unrelated objects. This activity can be used to promote several learning outcomes- visual discrimination classification critical thinking skills It is also a fun and engaging way for learners to explore and learn about different types of animals while practicing essential cognitive skills. This activity was created to be an activity book. However, feel free to print and create to fit your needs. This is a ten-page book with twenty different animals to sort. The different animals can be switched out and rearranged on the different pages to fit the individual learner. Enjoy IFIO girl I'll Figure It Out

What is FEATURE - FUNCTION - CLASS Sorting or grouping items by feature, function, and classification is a way of categorizing objects or ideas based on specific characteristics or attributes. This method of organization helps to make sense of complex information and allows for easier comparisons and analysis. 1) Feature: Sorting items by feature involves grouping them according to their physical or observable attributes. For example, you could sort a collection of books by their color or size. In this activity - Things that are yellow 2) Function: Grouping items by function involves categorizing them based on what they do or how they are used. For example, you could sort kitchen appliances by their function, such as sorting blenders, mixers, and food processors into one group and toasters, ovens, and microwaves into another group. In this activity - things in the kitchen 3) Classification: Sorting items by classification involves grouping them based on their characteristics or attributes that are intrinsic to their nature . For example, you could sort animals by their things that with wings or things that have fur. In this activity things that we wear. By using these different methods of sorting or grouping, you can provide different perspectives or ways of understanding a set of items or concepts, which can be helpful in teaching and learning. Why we teach sorting by Feature, Function and CLASS Teaching children to sort or group items by feature, function, and classification is important for several reasons: 1) Cognitive development: Sorting and grouping require children to think critically and make connections between items based on their characteristics. This helps to develop their cognitive abilities and improve their problem-solving skills. 2) Organization: Sorting and grouping items based on their features, function, or classification can help children to organize information and make sense of their environment. This can improve their memory and make it easier for them to retrieve information later. 3) Language development: Sorting and grouping can also help to develop children's language skills by providing them with the vocabulary to describe different features, functions, and classifications. This can improve their ability to communicate effectively and express their ideas clearly. 4) Mathematical skills: Sorting and grouping can also help to develop children's mathematical skills, such as counting, categorizing, and comparing. This can lay the foundation for more complex mathematical concepts later on. Overall, teaching children to sort and group items by feature, function, and classification can provide them with a range of cognitive, organizational, language, and mathematical benefits that can support their development in various areas. In this activity the pages are clear of visual distractions which helps the learner focus on the task. This activity is easy to create - Print and laminate all cards, cut out the individual sorting cards and velcro to the corresponding activity mat. You can hole punch the mats and put them in a binder for many years of teaching and learning. Enjoy, IFIO girl
