Homophones, D*I*B*E*L*S, freebie and more, Oh my!


This last week we started working on reviewing/learning about homophones.  They're a lot of silly fun.  I can't wait to use this new unit I created!  I'll give it away FREE to any follower who follows my blog, TN & TPT store AND can guess my middle name. Good luck!  Also, my prepositions unit is still up for grabs... some lucky person just needs to guess my favorite number! Click the image above to grab it on TPT and click the image below to grab it on TN. 

Does your school use DIBELS?  Mine does, and I might just be a tad-bit more invested in my students performance/progress this time since the scores are going to be reported in my Masters Project.  Eek! So, since our DIBELS testing is this week, I created this quick practice pack for nonsense word fluency. NWF seems like it always throws a few kids off. Hopefully with some practice they won't be thrown off. Now lets keep our fingers crossed that they do their BEST reading on the fluency passages, and remember a lot about the story for the retell!  Haha.  Click the picture if you want to pick up the pack.


 Here are some photos of the craftivity we started on Friday.  I was feeling a little ambitious when I decided to have the kids paint BOTH sides of BOTH halves of their plates AND let them choose up to four different colors.  I mean, come on, what was I thinking?  26 first graders + 1 me + 8 colors of paint = ?  What do you think the answer is?
But at least they turned out pretty cute!

 



 And now for more freebies!  We've still been learning all about early U.S. History.  Samuel Adams, the Father of the Revolution helped organize the Boston Tea Party, then he addressed the continental congress and helped them write a Petition to the King.  So did Mrs. Bell's Class!  Then Paul Revere just rode by and warned us all that the British were coming to capture Sam...

    This week, I've been having a lot of fun working with homophones in my classroom. I created a new unit on the topic, which I'm giving away for free to any follower who joins my blog, TPT, and TN stores, and can guess my middle name. My prepositions unit is also available for free to anyone who guesses my favorite number! We're also getting ready for DIBELS testing, which is especially important since the results will be part of my Master's Project. To help my students prepare, I created a practice pack for nonsense word fluency. I also had my class work on a craftivity involving painted plates—26 first graders, 8 paint colors, and me, what could go wrong? Finally, we’ve been learning about early U.S. history, including Samuel Adams and the Boston Tea Party, and I’m excited to share a free downloadable petition template that my students used.
