Space and Planets Review Packet

We will be finishing up our Space and Planets theme this week after taking time to learn many different facts about each planet.  Friday of this week, students will be making their own solar system mural.  They have to put the planets in order and place the fact next to each planet on the mural.  They have lots of fun with it.
To help get ready for this, I created this Space and Planets Review Packet:

Dr Seuss Cut-Aparts Complete Set FREEBIE

I had an earlier post about some of the Dr. Seuss things that I did in my classroom and posted some JPGs of a few of the cut-apart sentences I had made for the two week Dr. Seuss theme that we do.  Decided to just upload the whole set and share with everyone.  There are 9 scrambled sentences to choose from:

• March 2nd is the day we celebrate the birthday of Dr. Seuss.  (This one was kind of hard for my class, but after a few times saying it in "silly" voices, which I called my silly Dr. Seuss voices, they were able to put it back together no problem!)
• March 2nd is Dr. Seuss day.
• The silly cat wore a red and white hat. (Cat in the Hat)
• Plant a seed to show you care about the earth. (The Lorax)
• You should treat everyone the same. (The Sneetches)
• Some are red and some are blue. (One Fish, Two Fish)
• Daisy Head Mayzie had a flower grow out of her hair.  (Daisy Head Mayzie)--2 options for pictures
• Do you like green eggs and ham?  (Green Eggs and Ham)

Click HERE to download the whole set from Google Drive.  All clip art used to create these sentences were drawn by me.

Shape Box Letters: DNealian Type

Well, I've had this font created for some time, but I kind of forgot about it since we don't use DNealian anymore.  Thought I'd at least put it out there for those that still do use DNealian.

You can purchase this font:

Continents and Oceans Review Packet

Our Continents and Oceans theme is coming up and I decided to get creative again.  I thought we had enough stuff to go along with our theme, but when you LOVE to create...its hard to stop making!  And there are so many people that have purchased my continents/oceans stuff, so I know there's a demand for them...the ideas just keep blooming!  It's also nice to pick and choose each year what to use and what not to use.  I hate it when things get redundant.

I wanted something to use as an end of unit assessment. 1 fact from each continent and ocean is highlighted upon, giving your young learners something to remember for each continent and ocean.  The retelling sheets have three options available to make it developmentally appropriate for the ages and abilities of your students.

Continents and Oceans Writing Retell Sheets
3 options available:
--Students write sentences to match the pictures
--Students write the missing continent or ocean name in the shape box font.
--Student traces the continent or ocean name within the sentence.

Continents and Oceans Fact Cards: BW and Color Options

Name the Dr. Seuss Books FREEBIE

Since Dr. Seuss' birthday is coming up this weekend, here's a quick little FREEBIE I made to use during "must-do" time during Guided Reading.  I even sent one of these pages home as homework with my firsties.  If you'd like a copy of this 2-page FREEBIE, click HERE.

All clip art used in this freebie was created by Clip Art by Carrie.

Celebrating Dr. Seuss Day 3

Today we started out our Morning Work by doing a cut apart sentence about the silly Cat in the Hat. "The sill cat wore a red and white hat."  As they finished I had them write a sentence about the Cat in the Hat on the back of their paper.

We also read "The Sneetches" by Dr. Seuss and talked about how all the sneetches were treated differently and how unfair that was to the Sneetches that didn't have a star on their belly.  So I whipped up a craftivity that students had to put together after doing their writing assignment:  "Star or No Star I Like the Way You Are!  I Like Me Because..."  One of my co-workers who used to blog with me came up with that cute little saying!

If you want a copy of this Sneetches craftivity, click HERE.  The border I used was from Graphics From the Pond and the clip art was drawn by me.

Here is my Sneetches themed cut-apart sentence that my first graders did during must-do time during Guided Reading:

Hoot Hoot! Here's a FREEBIE!
