Looking for a way to have fun in your classroom this winter? These "Would You Rather" slides are perfect to add to your class party or as a time-filler at the end of class!

What's Included?

• 10 Winter-themed "Would You Rather" questions
• Instructional Activities Sheet to provide ideas for extension and assignments

Why do you need this?

This is such a simple activity that can be utilized in so many ways!

• Have your students write a paragraph about why they chose what they did.
• Have your students move from one side of the room to another when making their selection to incorporate a sensory/movement break into your day.
• Have your students find a new friend who picked the same thing they did, or pick a partner who didn't pick what they did and have them discuss why they chose their answers.
• Have your students debate over why one choice is better than another; make sure they defend their answers (and keep it friendly).

How can I help?

Reach out to me on Instagram at www.instagram.com/rebekahpoeteaching or email me at lessonsandlattes2018@gmail.com. I'd love to answer any questions you may have.

I have created a digital self-checking 15-question quiz template in Excel and Google Sheets.

With this template, you will be able to insert 15 questions as well as insert an answer key into this conditionally formatted template that will do the grading for you automatically. If a student answers a question correctly, the answer will turn green and if they answer incorrectly, the answer will turn red. You will be able to use this template for multiple quizzes in multiple subjects - all you have to do is change the questions and change the answer key.

This template will be a lifesaver and you will be sure to keep handy for every day to weekly use.

I look forward to your feedback.

Thank you for your support,

A great resource for working on the 300 first-grade HMH spelling words of the week writing the tiny words hidden in the drawing. There are a total of 36 weeks.

Download the first module of this resource for free when subscribing to our newsletter!!

Your students will have to look with a magnifying glass for the tiny words of the HMH week hidden in the pictures of animals and write them in the boxes. They will also be able to write a sentence using one or several words of the week and color the drawing whoever wants or finishes soon.

There is no better way to learn vocabulary than to write the words after paying close attention to how they are written.

There are two different resources available:

1. 'Find and write' resource: Your students will have to look with a magnifying glass for the tiny spelling words of the week hidden in the pictures and write them in the boxes. They will also be able to write a sentence using one or several words of the week and color the drawing whoever wants or finishes soon.
2. 'Find, circle, and trace' resource: Your students will have to look with a magnifying glass for the tiny HMH spelling words hidden in the pictures, circle or line them, and trace the dotted words in the boxes. They will also be able to write a sentence using one or several words of the week and color the drawing whoever wants or finishes soon.

Both products can be purchased separately, but also together for a lower price.

Differentiation:

For children with greater ease when it comes to tracing the hidden words, I'd use the "Find and write" resource, while for the rest, I would opt for the "Find, circle, and trace" resource.

You will find three PDF files with three different font sizes of the hidden words for children with problems seeing words due to their visual ability. Use the one that suits each child or your group best. The two smaller ones will require the use of a magnifying glass, but most will be able to read the larger one without using it.

I hope your students enjoy this very motivating activity. Let me know in your comments.

Exciting Memory Game to Enhance First-Grade Students' Mastery of HMH Spelling Words!

Explore the first 3 weeks of this amazing resource and unleash the full potential of learning by accessing all the weeks through the following link, available for only $6.50! The complete set comprises 36 distinct decks, one for each week. During the first 5 modules (15 weeks), students will practice 6 Decodable Words per week, followed by 10 words a week in the last 7 modules (21 weeks). An impressive total of 285 words to master!

How to Play:

The game begins with all the cards face down, and players take turns flipping over two cards. If the two cards reveal the same word, they must write it on their recording sheet and keep the cards. If the words don't match, they turn the cards face down again. The player with the most cards when all cards are taken is declared the winner. For students who find the game challenging, they can play with the cards face-up to make it more accessible.

Game Ideas:

- Play Memory Game individually or in pairs, depending on the students' comfort level with remembering and writing the words.

- Combine different weeks from the same module to reinforce learning at the end of a unit.

- Utilize the cards for countless games. For example, print the cards of multiple weeks or even modules, distribute them face-up to each table or group of students, and have them find the words you call out before others do. The first group to find the word keeps the card and records it. The group with the most cards at the end wins!

- Let students pick a card from a deck, write the word, and then select another one to continue the learning process.

- Foster collaborative learning by having students work in pairs. One student picks a card and dictates the word to their partner, who writes it down. Learning together through repetition!

- For added practice, have one student in a pair say the sounds of each letter in the word, while their partner writes it down.

If you have more innovative ideas, we'd love to hear them! Feel free to share your creative game variations in your review.

Printing Instructions:

To print the cards, first print the front of the cards. After that, reload the printed sheets into the printer and print the back design. For sturdiness, thicker paper is recommended, and you can even laminate them for extra durability.

Each module consists of 2 to 4 pages. Pages 1 to 93 are the front of the cards, while pages 94 and 95 are the back. You can try both designs to see which one aligns better with your printer. Additionally, page 96 provides 4 recording sheets to write down the pairs of words you create during the game.

Unlock a world of fun and learning with our captivating Memory Game designed to elevate students' understanding of HMH Spelling Words. Enjoy the journey of learning and discovery!

Exciting Memory Game to Enhance First-Grade Students' Learning of HMH Sight Words!

Memory Game HMH High-Frequency and Decodable Words

The set consists of 36 unique decks, one for each week, providing a comprehensive learning experience. Students will practice 8 High-Frequency Words and up to 6 Decodable Words per week with every deck, resulting in exposure to more than 400 words!

How to Play:

The game starts with all the cards face down, and players take turns flipping over two cards. If the two cards reveal the same word, they must write it on their recording sheet and keep the cards. If the words don't match, they turn the cards face down again. The winner is the player with the most cards when all cards have been taken. If some students find the game challenging, they can opt to play with the cards face-up for added support.

Ideas to Play:

- Engage in Memory Game sessions with High-Frequency Words, Decodable Words, or both simultaneously each week for a varied and dynamic learning experience.

- Integrate different weeks of the same module to reinforce word retention at the end of a unit, ensuring lasting mastery of the sight words.

- Utilize the versatile cards for an array of engaging games. For instance, print the cards of several weeks or even modules once for each table or group of students, all face-up. Challenge them to find the words you announce before other groups do. The first group to find the word keeps the card and records it. The group with the most cards at the end emerges victorious!

- Foster active learning by allowing students to pick a card from a deck, write the word, and then select another card. This repetition reinforces word recognition and writing skills.

- Encourage cooperative learning by pairing students. One student can pick a card and dictate the word to their partner, who will write it down. Learning together through rote practice!

- For an additional challenge, have one student in a pair pronounce the sounds of each letter in the word while their partner writes it down.

If you have more innovative ideas, feel free to share them with us in your review.

I broke the words up into 8 sets so that each set would have 52 cards to keep the game engaging and not too long!

Included:

*Prep time is needed. I suggest you print these on card stock and laminate them for more durability. Printing on normal paper will work too! Print the set of cards and cut them out!

These are perfect for small-group instruction or centers! Slide them in sheet protectors or laminate and you can reuse them! You can print these cards double-sided (on the short side) so that students can self-correct!

This creates meaning for words that follow the phonics pattern they are learning. This is important in helping the child turn these words into sight words!

107 Zeno Sight Word Game BUNDLE

Let's be honest, phonemic awareness can be SO boring for our students! Whenever we are working on it they want to use the words in sentences or want to see a picture of what that word means! Now they have a picture to connect to the word!

These cards are so much fun my students beg me to work with them! I let them choose their manipulative; whether it is play-dough to tap, legos, chips, or blocks! This also gives those kiddos struggling with blending and segmenting a concrete method to gain those skills!

The cards are broken into each digraph so that you can easily practice phonemic awareness with the digraph you are working on. You can also mix them up so they can practice the skill for each digraph!

-Includes

-ch, sh, ck, ph, th, wh, wr, kn, qu

-Digraph words with a picture

-Sound boxes on the front

-The word and amount of sounds on the back for self-correction!
