Get into the back to school spirit and learn the letters of the alphabet with these fun alphabet cards. What is Included: This set includes one capital letter card and one lowercase letter card for each letter. Ways to Use the Cards: Play a matching game by matching the capital letters to the lowercase letters. Attach a paper clip to a letter card and use a magnetic fishing pole to "catch" the letters for a fun fishing game. Use a sand or salt tray for students to practice writing the letters on each card. Have students find the letters that you have hidden around the room for a fun letter hunt. Place the letter cards in alphabetical order. Create a pocket char game where you place the cards on a pocket chart and hide a picture behind one of the letters. The students will guess which letter the hidden picture is behind. Add objects that begin with each letter for students to match to each letter card. When to Use: Literacy Center - Place the cards in a literacy center for students to match independently or with a partner. Morning Tubs or Baskets - Place the cards in a morning bin for students to work on while their classmates arrive to class. Small Group Activities - The teacher can pull aside a small group of students who need extra practice identifying letters to use these cards. These back to school alphabet cards are a great activity for students to practice letter recognition at the beginning of the school year. They are a low prep activity for teachers to prepare for students. Simply print, cut apart and laminate for durability. These cards can be stored in a task box for easy set up, clean up, and storage. Skills Assessed: These cards, depending on the materials added, can assess both letter recognition of capital and lowercase letters as well as identifying beginning sounds.

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 of the story: 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. ☞ Check out what other customers have bought ☜ Back to School SCOOT Game and More Fall Writing Prompts (6-8).

By concentrating on one new word per day, the "Sight Words Activity - Word of the Day" is a useful method for improving kids' reading abilities. With the help of this technique, learning sight words becomes fun and doable. A fresh sight word is taught to the class each day through a range of engaging activities. Students might, for example, come across a term in a phrase, practice spelling it, and then utilize it in their own writing. Students find learning to be less daunting and more pleasurable when it is divided into manageable daily chunks. To make sure the term is permanently ingrained in the student's memory, teachers and parents can use games, flashcards, and writing assignments to reinforce the word throughout the day. In addition to increasing vocabulary, this daily focus gives pupils more self-assurance as they learn new terms. Repetition together with a variety of exercises makes sure that sight words are maintained throughout time, which lays a strong basis for fluency in reading. In the end, this method helps young readers acquire sight words in a fulfilling and pleasurable way. Pdf file includes 10 pages. Enjoy!

Get ready to unleash your inner bat expert with the Bat Craft Cut and Glue Activity , a hands-on project that’s way easier than trying to befriend an actual bat. With just a few snips and dabs of glue, you’ll go from a pile of paper pieces to a fully assembled (and far friendlier) bat. No mosquito diet required! Here’s how it works: you’ll cut out bat body parts, wings, ears, maybe even a tiny smile if your bat’s feeling friendly, and piece them together, kind of like a Halloween jigsaw puzzle. Not great with scissors? Don’t worry, this bat doesn’t mind if its wings are a little lopsided; it just adds character. Once assembled, you’ll have a bat friend you can proudly display on your fridge, in your classroom, or anywhere that could use a dash of Halloween flair. And unlike real bats, this one won’t swoop around your room or hang upside down on your curtains. Perfect for classrooms or a fun afternoon craft at home, this bat activity promises lots of laughs, a bit of glue on your fingers, and a spooky-cute creation that’s all yours. So grab those scissors, summon your inner bat-maker, and prepare to craft your new flying friend! Enjoy!
