1st Grade English Language Arts Handouts (by date, oldest first)

Move and breathe through a childhood classic. The Napping House by Don and Audrey Wood has been a favorite story in my classes for years, and with a librarian’s suggestion, I brought it to life through yoga for the first time in 2012. Now accompanied by our beautiful illustrations, we can use this yoga sequence to promote a lifelong love of learning, reading, and healthy habits.

Each of the characters in the story is paired with a yoga pose, and each page adds another character in order. As the sequence builds, the poses come together in a beautiful flow. Do the poses as you read, or read and then do the poses—whatever feels the best to you.

This lesson plan is a perfect resource for teachers, parents or clinicians who want bring the story to life with movement. We’ve included a story script and a list of poses so children can learn the yoga sequence.

The Napping House Literacy Integration is a 14-page PDF download that you can view on your phone, tablet, computer or print to paper.
This download contains the following:

• The Napping House Lesson Plan designed for kids ages 4-10

• List of yoga poses, props and key themes that relate to the story

• Story script to read along with The Napping House

• Guided relaxation, meditation script, crafts, and group activities

• The Napping House yoga sequence poster, with nine (9) poses

Do you have literacy buddies with a younger class? Do you sometimes find your students off topic when they should be reading? Want to make life easier for yourself...and your buddy teacher? This package is for you.

Common Core standards listed for grade 4, also meet standards for grades 5 and 6.

Included is:

* expectation sheet,

This is a physical escape room to be completed after reading the Lorax. Students will answer comprehension questions for their clues along with spelling some sight words and vocabulary words. It all ends with them unscrambling letters to make the door code.

This will take some prep. You will need to print off all the clues (which I included some options already) like the gloves and the watering can. You then hang those up around the room for the students to find. Have a stack of clues by that item so students can get their next clue.

I would recommend having the students complete this in groups no bigger than 3 or 4. Each group will need a clue sheet so they can keep track of their clues and also provide you with answers. This also has the area where they will provide the door code. You will also need to provide the timer for the students. I recommend putting it on a projector board so all the students can see the time.

You start off by showing the students the intro message from the Lorax, then you provide the groups with the clue sheets, and Clue # 1.

If you would like to do a virtual escape room, I also have created one to go along with The Lorax.

I hope you enjoy it! Please rate and review.

This is a spring-themed activity to practice beginning Digraphs Sh-, Th-, Wh-, and Ch-.

**Students will need Scissors, Glue/Tap, and Colored Pencils/Crayons.**

Students will need to cut out the center of the flower with the beginning digraphs on them. Then they will need to cut off the pedals. (6 pedals for each digraph). Once they have cut it all out, they will then glue/tape the pedals to which center they belong.

Example: There goes with Th- center.

This would be a great activity to display students' work!

I hope you enjoy it. Please rate and review.

This is a worksheet for students to practice inflectional endings: -ed, -ing, and plural endings. Students will need colored pencils, crayons, or markers to color in the puppies with the correct endings. This would be a great product for morning work, sub work, and or busy work. I hope you enjoy. Please rate and review.

This bundle includes 10 Lorax products I have created. These products include multiple movie-watch-along, activities focused on characters and events, coloring sheets, a virtual and physical escape room, and a Lorax-themed jeopardy game! I hope you enjoyit. Please rate and review!

Are you in need of cute and functional nameplates/nametags for your students? Look no further! This resource is perfect for you! These nametags measure approximately 4.27 inches high and 10.91 inches width wise (numbers will vary based on how you cut them out). These are a bit bigger so they won't fit in the holders from target but they are easy to laminate. Once you edit - print on your preferred paper (cardstock is my preference - I like Astrobrights), laminate and cut! Easy to cut - just cut across in the middle!

Students will be able to use these right away to help with their multiplication facts, place value and gives them an idea of what the cursive letters look like! There are 3 options! For the primary kiddos - numbers 1 -30 on the top and the primary alphabet on the bottom! I am using them in my fourth grade class and the students are already raving about how helpful they are - no more straining to see the posters!

I attach mine with velcro so that students can easily take them with them if they work in a different area of the room.

You will need a font KA Jackfruit for it to look just like mine. I included the link to purchase the font in the file. Zip files open to an editable powerpoint!
