I'm a little late posting my trays this week, but I hope you enjoy them! We aren't following a theme this week, just working on some fun skills! Beginning Sound Sort Sort the items in the bowl by their beginning sound. Nuts & Bolts One of our favorites: Match each nut to the correctly sized bolt and screw it on. Washcloth Folding Fold each washcloth into 1/4ths, then stack. Button Sorting Sort the buttons by the number of holes each has. Counting Straws Place the correct number of straws…

[Edited to add: I cannot upload these puzzles, as I do not have the right to distribute Microsoft Office clipart. They are fairly easy to make; give it a try! My apologies for not being able to hel…

I am on a roll with making some literacy games, so here is another: Beginning Sounds I Have, Who Has... You can play as you wish, but I play with the students in small group. I pass out all the cards, then we take turns asking about the cards, etc. You can get these here!

I am now in week 3 of literacy work stations. Last week, as you might have seen on instagram, I had a rhyming focus, with lots of rhyming activities. This proved to be too big a jump for the kiddies, so this week its back to basics with initial and ending sounds. I *heart* having my very own product tester at home and it is pretty cool that she says and I quote "I love testing things for you Mum!" Wonder if I should be paying her royalties of some description? This is what you get - There…

This download includes 8 picture cards targeting initial sound identification. The student is required to circle the correct initial sound for each picture card. Print the cards and laminate for re-use (with dry erase marker) or print a full worksheet for every student.

Did you miss me? Probably not, it's only been since Sunday, but it seems like an eternity. Why? Because we have been without Internet service! It could have been MUCH worse, so I wont complain much. We had a storm with 80 mph sheer winds tear through the area early Monday morning. It was quite crazy! I spent half an hour-at 1:30 am huddled in the basement with my kiddos. Thankfully, we didnt get much damage. Unfortunately, the big city where we go for everything got HAMMERED. They are still…

use clear stones to mark the beginning sounds

Hello! I have a FUN idea to share with you!! I saw this idea on Pinterest using large "gems" from the dollar store. It's a great way to practice sight words, so I thought why not use this same technique for other skills??? I printed small clip art pictures and letters and made beginning sound matching gems. I love the way they turned out! I still have to make a cute bag to put them in. I can just see all of the possibilities for these gems...can't you??? Thanks for looking and have a great…
