CVC Hump Day Surprise!
Wednesday! We made it over the hump. We have had a week full of observations on my campus and so I am....EXHAUSTED....but I had to squeeze out a little energy to post freebie #3! Click here to download it!
Scooping up those CVC words...
Oh
Now for that veg time...hopefully I can keep the computer away from finding its way into my lap again!
Don't forget to stop by tomorrow,
CVC words, oh how I love thee...
I am guilty. I have totally neglected blogging lately. I thought I would blame it on school wedding planning friends coming to visit LIFE...and so to make up for this MIA business. I have planned a FUN week full of posts and freebies!
As we near the end of October, the kiddos in KC have been working on onset and rime and FINALLY...we are ready for some real CVC practice. I don't know if you will agree, but I just love working with CVC words. It might be the huge grins of confidence that reading and spelling CVC words provides my students. Yeah, I think that is it!
I have some cute, quick, and easy CVC practice to share this week.
I have a fun FREEBIE planned Monday-Thursday this week. Check back each night! Yes! Four freebies!!
Do you have some bingo dotters you have been dying to use? Have you just been waiting to break out some paint? Are you wanting to practice some quick CVC fluency in your small groups?
TADA! Click here to scoop it up!
Although, it is only October, I feel like my class has matured like crazy! Here are some fun things that they have REALLY been enjoying lately:
1.SCOOT... We cannot get enough SCOOT. If you haven't played SCOOT, you need to! We play in all subjects and they love watching themselves gain fluency with completing each task card! (I definitely have a bunch of SCOOTs in my TpT store if you are looking to try some!)
2. Write the Room
They BEG to complete these activities! I have a huge pack in my store, but this picture is of a very SIMPLE one perfect for the beginning of the year. AND it is a freebie in my store:)
3. SWAT a Word! Look at those fly swatters. Who wouldn't love that?! They have been working on the letter identification version but next week I can pull out the CVC version!
Thanks for stopping by!
Don't forget to come back for more CVC fun this week!

Hi!! I cannot believe another week has come and gone so quickly!
Did you know October is National Bullying Awareness Prevention month?!! Well October is literally right around the corner and so I created freebies to accompany two books about bullying this week- Bully Beans by Julia Cook and The Juice Box Bully by Bob Sornson and Maria Dismondy

A quick synopsis about each book-
Bully Beans:
All About: finding the courage to stand up to a bully, that bullies might be bullies on the outside but they are still kids on the inside
Activity I Included: Bully Bean Bracelets
The Juice Box Bully:
All About: how a class is a team, to not just be a bystander when someone is being bullied, making a promise to stand up for others
Activities I Included: "Our Class Promise" for students to sign & Class Promise posters to work on collaboratively and hang in your classroom as a reference and reminder
Thanks for stopping by!

We are a "team"! Plus a freebie:)
Happy TUESDAY! That means tomorrow is Wednesday!! I posted a picture on my Instagram (thekinderlife) this afternoon about the AAMMMAAAZZIINNG experience we had with a simple Social Studies lesson today. We read the book "Teamwork Isn't My Thing, and I Don't Like to Share!" By Julie Cook. (This book was also part of the DonorsChoose project I talked about in my post last Sunday!)
This simple graphic organizer brought about SO much discussion and there wasn't one student who finished early or was uninterested in talking about this subject. Not going to lie...I was so elated when the little one pictured above wanted to write sentences in each box:). If you are talking about families in your classroom or just teamwork in general, I would HIGHLY recommend this book.
Enjoy!
Sunday Bookshare #1
Happy Sunday!!
I cannot believe half of September is already behind us! I guess that is exactly how the beginning of the school year always goes. Fast, busy, and
Each Sunday I will post about two books and include a FREEBIE activity to accompany each book! The books I will talk about each Sunday are not just any ordinary books, they are character building books! This means books about honesty, bullying, teamwork, being unique, etc. The books I will be blogging about are part of a DonorsChoose project I recently got funded. Psst...If you don't already use or know about DonorsChoose.com, please check them out. The projects I have gotten funded from this website have been life changing for me and my students! This is the entire list! (Feel free to use it if you feel like starting a similar DonorsChoose project!)
