I am so excited to share these Word Family Workbooks with you! This workbook includes 100+ long and short vowel word families that come at the end of a word (and common digraphs). It is a FANTASTIC year-long tool that will help your students learn about different word families and
How many more days do you have left in the school year? To make your own summer countdown download the printable here and put it in a glass picture frame. I got this frame at the dollar store. Then you can use a dry erase marker to write in the number of
Along with learning about the /ow/ and /ou/ sound, we’ve also been learning about the /ar/ sound. To help reinforce this particular r-controlled vowel, I gave all my students an “ar” eye patch. I got them cheap from Amazon HERE. To put the “ar” on them I cut out vinyl with
Last week we learned about the vowel pairs “ow” and “ou”. I used all the activities from my Clowning Around unit on TpT. I also added a lot of new activities to this packet and I’ve spruced up some old ones! If you already own this packet, then be sure to re-download

This week we are learning about CVCe words and I introduced my students to SUPER E! Let’s just say that they are crazy about him and he’s really captured their attention! Teaching CVCe word patterns to your kindergarteners and first graders can be tricky! Let’s start with first things first.
Let’s face it — we teach in a world where our students NEED to know what true and false mean. Just knowing what these words mean will give our students the upper hand on any test. In math right now, my students are learning about this true/false concept, but they aren’t quite
I love January and I love all the snow, but I am starting to get tired of all the gloominess! It will NOT stop snowing around here! So, I am already starting to think about February and Valentine’s Day. I love Valentine’s Day!! For this fun and *lovely* holiday my
For some reason January makes me think of snow, penguins, and pretty much nothing else. Here in Utah it has been so bitter cold lately. It’s cold enough that my students are literally begging me to let them stay inside for recess and, because I am a sucker, I usually say yes.
Okay, okay. Let me explain why I have these creepy {CREEPY} little hermit crabs. Well, you see… I am a first grade teacher. Need I say more? But really, next week we will be reading Moving Day from the Houghton Mifflin reading program. It’s a cute story about a hermit crab who is
This is our Erickson Family Time Capsule! Inside it you will find yearly lists of events that have happened in our family. Making an end-of-the-year list (on New Years Eve) has always been a tradition in my family growing up, so naturally, I carried this tradition on into my own little family.
