This is just a note to let all of those who have or wish to buy something from my site know how to get their purchases. Once you have payed for your purchase you should be redirected to a site where you can open and save the file to your computer. For whatever reason sometimes the page redirection doesn't always work so I will also send you an email with your purchase as an attachment as a back up. I will send it either that day or the next. Occasionally the file size is too big so I can't host the file on this website. In those cases you will only receive an email. Recently however someone purchased my Vocabulary cootie catchers from my site and the email that was given wasn't a valid one. So if your email is (mmd~~~~~@charter.net) and you weren't able to download the pdf or you want an email sent with it attached please contact me with a correct email address and I'll get it sent to you.

In this e-book you will find 34 different alphabetical order word sorts, an answer key and place mat. This file folder game is a great activity for reading stations, a take home activity or as individual work. Creating the File Folder Game Print, cut out and laminate the game place mat. Glue it on the inside of a file-folder. You can store the individual word sorts in small envelops or in zip-lock bags. You can print the alphabetical order word sorts on red, green, and blue paper according to the difficulty of the sort. Using the game Students start by matching the first letters of the words on the mat. If two or more words start with the same letter they then move to the second column and the second letter. If the second letter is also the same they move on to the third. There is one word sort in this download that requires students to move to the fourth letter. Difficulty Red (easy) - All of the words can be sorted by looking at first letter. Green (medium) – Students need to look at the second letter to sort some of the words.

With the school year winding down its time to get your students motivated to read over the summer. I love the cute display that I found on Pinterest, but there are many other great ideas out there. I've collected a list of ideas/resources. Hope you find them helpful. 1. Make sure your students have a library card or at least know how to get one. You can't get your students to read over the summer if they don't have access to books. The simplest way to do that is to get them to the library. 2. Have the start a summer reading log. There are many great reading logs out there below are a few links to my favorites. Bookworm game by Martha Stewart Scholastic Reading Log 3. Help students create there own summer reading list. Don't just have your students set a goal of how many books they want to read over the summer, let them decide which books they want to read. Reading Rockets has a great summer reading list on there web site. But I think its better if kids make their own list. Preview some books, have your students remember some books that they enjoyed during the year, find books by the same author or on the same topic and have them write down the books that they want to read. Again make sure students know how to use their local public library, how to search for books in the library and how to put books on hold. Here are two different plan sheets for the summer!
4. Be an example Create a summer reading list of your own and share it with your students. Get excited about it and your excitement will spread!
5. Have your students blog what they're reading over the summer. Your students will be excited to be able to keep in touch with their classmates and having them tell about what they are reading will also help to keep their writing skills sharp over the summer. Edublogs is a great resource for students to have a secure place to blog about what they are learning. If you have any other ideas that you are using in your classrooms I'd love you to leave a comment and share them below! I found a great idea for an end of the year vocabulary game called Snowball Fight on the Third Grade Curriculum Blog. Have your students each choose two pieces of white paper. On one paper they write a word, on the other they write the definition to the word. Crumple the papers up and have a snowball fight for a set amount of time. The third grade curriculum blog suggested setting a timer for 30 secs. Once the fight is over everyone has to pick up one of the snowballs and find their partner. I.e. the students who find a word have to locate the definition and the students who find the definition have to find the word. You can also prepare the words in advance if you want to review certain vocabulary words. For more great vocabulary games and activities click on the links. |
