Getting Dressed For Winter Weather Emergent Reader

Let's Go! Let's Get Out In That SNOW!

FREE common core lessons, getting ready for winter weather poster, Let's Go Play In The Snow easy reader booklet, snow activities, compound word activities, Daily 5 activities for December, daily 5 word work activities, contraction activities, compound words with snow in them, ordinal number activities, winter poster,ending punctuation activities, beginning capitalization activities, Yesterday I updated and posted the ordinal number winter poster packet to rave reviews. (Thanks! So glad you liked it. I guess lots of teachers & parents were in the same boat. ) This sort of “What goes on next?” always helped my Y5’s and expedited things, so we could waddle out for recess before the bell rang to come back in!

I decided to follow that up by updating an emergent reader booklet on the same subject, that will help you review Common Core State Standards: RF.K1a, RF.K1c, RF.K3c, L.K2a, L.K2b

Like the poster, the booklet helps your students identify winter clothing words and the order clothes should be put on. Students correct the sentences by adding ending punctuation and a capital letter to the beginning word.

Students use pictures as clues to read the sentences, as they cut and glue other pictures to the matching numbered boxes. This packet is great for your Daily 5 word work activities.

There are 58 words in the booklet, 30 of which are Dolch sight words. I've included 58 traceable word cards to practice with, as well as worksheets involving contractions also found in the booklet, plus some word work with compound words.

Can you think up more than my 15? I’d love hearing from you! I still don’t understand why snow pants is not a compound word! Anyone have an answer to that? diane@teachwithme.com or post a comment here.

End Of The Year Activities: Reviewing The Alphabet

Won't You ABC With Me?

Are you looking for a few more fun things to plug in as the days wind down before summer vacation?

Do you like to send a few things home with your kiddo’s over the summer, so that they don’t forget the things that they learned?

Or…

Are you starting to tuck a few things away for back-to-school ideas?

No matter what your reason, I think you’ll enjoy these cute alphabet activities.

One of my favorite clipart designers is Laura Strickand. I used her alphabet graphics to put together the packet: ABC Stuff.

The easy reader alphabet flipbook incorporates 60 Dolch words! Students trace the word and lowercase letter, which match the cute uppercase picture.

You can also laminate the pages and use them as pocket cards.

I’ve included an ABC anchor chart as well as 26 traceable flashcards, with a cover, so students can make an Itty Bitty booklet.

Make extra sets, run them off on a different color, laminate and turn them into Memory Match Concentration games.

Play “I Have; Who Has?” by passing out the cards and asking: “I have A. Who has B?” ˆ

Sprinkle the cards on the floor and have students sequence them, while singing the ABC song.

For a quick center activity, have students trace the upper and lowercase letters on these bookmarks. To reinforce vowels, have children trace them in a different color.

Students glue the strips to a piece of construction paper. One side has uppercase letters, the other side lowercase.

Add a bit more pizzazz by punching a cut out or gluing a school photo to the bottom.

Do you need a quick and easy ABC recording sheet when you do assessments? Are you looking for an upper and lowercase alphabet certificate of praise to pass out to your students?

I designed both!
