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. Pdf file includes 12 pages.

Here is a brand new edition of my popular grocery game . There are three rounds (Back to School, Halloween, and Thanksgiving) with five food items each! This game allows students to practice estimating, adding, and multiplying with decimal numbers in a fun and engaging way! It is a fun, whole class activity that you need to be able to project in your classroom on an interactive whiteboard or screen-share for distance learning. As students play along, they practice estimating to stay within a shopping budget. They have to multiply and add with decimal numbers: all helpful realistic applications. Since this is a PowerPoint Presentation, you are able to move the boxes covering the price of each item after students make their guess: just like a real game show! Grades to Use With: This is a fun game for grades 3-6 when you are studying money, grocery shopping, and decimal operations. Even kids in middle school will have fun playing along! Standards: CCSS5.NBT.B.7 Add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals to hundredths, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used. CCSS6.NS.B.3 Fluently add, subtract, multiply, and divide multi-digit decimals using the standard algorithm for each operation. CCSS4.NF.C.7 Compare two decimals to hundredths by reasoning about their size. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two decimals refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual model.
