Long story short, as soon as he walked into the room, I knew I was gonna like him, he just a twinkle in his eye and I loved his personality. . He was placed in the top group, did his work, and was an honor student. Sure he was outgoing, talkative, and questioned everything, but he was a wonderful individual who really cared about learning and his fellow students. Moral: Wait to know the child a little before you look at previous records. If they’re negative, take it with a grain of salt. Give everyone a chance and form your own opinion. ※ Lessons to engage, challenge, excite and be remembered long after they’ve left your classroom. ※ Copyright©2016 Deann Marin (Socrates Lantern) All rights reserved by author.

Let’s be honest, teaching CVC words can sometimes feel like trying to herd cats, adorable, distracted cats who’d rather talk about dinosaurs. That’s where these CVC Words Worksheets – Cut and Glue Edition come in. They’re fun, hands-on, and sneak in serious phonics practice while your students are busy cutting and gluing like it’s their job. In this activity, students complete each CVC word by choosing the correct missing vowel, cutting it out, and gluing it into place. It’s like a literacy puzzle party, and yes, they’re invited. Ways to Use: Phonics Centers: Because kids love anything that involves scissors and glue. Independent Practice: Keeps them focused (and quiet!) while building real skills. Homework (if you’re brave): Parents will thank you. Or at least not complain. Morning Work: Calm, quiet, and educational. That’s the dream, right? Early Finishers: Give them something purposeful to do that isn’t spinning in their chair. Why You’ll Love It: Hands-on learning that feels like play. Builds CVC word confidence, one vowel at a time. No prep required, print and go! Improves fine motor skills without chaos (mostly). Keeps little hands busy and little minds learning. Cut, glue, learn, and breathe, phonics just got a lot more fun.
