B D P 9 Reversal Posters FREEBIE

Here's a freebie of a new poster set I made for my classroom.  Act these out by drawing the letters in the air, on the tables with their finger, in sand, dry erase markers, using Visual Phonics hand shapes, etc.

b:  First the bat.  Then the ball.
d:  First the doorknow.  The the door.
p:  First the pin. And then the pop!
9:  Make a hoop.  Then a line.  (That's the way to make a 9)

You can download the PDF of these poster set HERE at my TPT store.

Continents and Oceans Songs

Well, as always I end up creating something to go along with a unit and don't finish it until the unit is done and over...so I guess I will have these songs for next year!  Finished these "Continents and Oceans" themed song posters on a Friday night sitting in the living room with my family.  They all thought I was pretty goofy dictating (talk to text) and singing into my iPad.

There is a song for each continent and ocean, and follow a catchy tune (I'm a Little Teapot, Home on the Range, Scooby Doo, Flinstones, If You're Happy and You Know It, The Wheels on the Bus, etc.) to help teach a few key details about each of the places on planet earth.

You can find this song set HERE at my TPT store.

Space and Planets Songs

It's Friday night and I'm sitting under the covers in my PJs with the laptop on my lap writing songs about the planets!  Sounds fun to you, doesn't it?  I think my husband thinks I'm a little looney because he just came in here asking what the H#CK I was doing.  I asked him if he wanted to help me come up with the lyrics, but he said, "Nope, I'll leave that up to you!"

Well, I just finished up this 9 poster set of songs for all the planets.  Last spring my co-teachers and I came up with some songs for the different habitats while we were at a the Beginning Reading Conference in Cedar Falls, IA, and our students just LOVED singing them.  I wanted something like it for our Space and Planets unit.

Money Posters FREEBIE

Pin It

This is probably the 3rd time we have revamped these money posters!  We know we need something on the wall to help the kids refer to and remember the names of the coins/money and how much it is worth.  A few summers ago we took a class on working with autistic children and realized we needed to declutter and desensitize our classrooms.  We decided to simplify some of our posters so they weren't so BUSY.  It's so easy to get hung up on cute clip art, but sometimes simpler is better.  All the kids really need is a visual representation of the heads and tails side, the value of the coin, and a letter to help them remember the name.  If your school uses Everyday Math, your students will know what the P, N, D, Q stands for as this is the symbol that is used in the Math Boxes review pages and on the written assessments.

Here is what our current money posters look like that we made for this year:

If you want to save yourself some time without recreating these yourself, you can find them at our TPT store HERE for FREE.
