By French Made Fun!

Cette ressource comprend 16 semaines d'incitations d'écriture créative (4 questions au choix chaque semaine) pour un total de 60 incitations! Elles se présentent sous la forme de « démarreurs d'histoires », où les élèves réfléchissent ou inventent une histoire ou une expérience.

Vous pouvez demander aux élèves de choisir un nombre d'incitations d'écriture par semaine (ou tout!) et vous pouvez aussi choisir la quantité d'écriture. Vous pouvez choisir de les rendre formels ou informels, formatifs ou sommatifs. Vous pouvez choisir de les faire comme devoirs ou en classe.

Ils sont excellents en tant qu'activités de remplacement pour les enseignants!

Au fur et à mesure que j'ajoute à mes propres documents, je les mets à jour pour vous. Mes produits sont en constante évolution et mise à jour.

Merci!

Early Reader Mini Books & My Favorite Things Sentence Starters - Literacy Center

By Morgan Jeffries

What's Included In This Bundle:

Set Of #26 Alphabet Books:

These books are a great resource for letter and sound recognition. You can have your students color or trace each word and color the picture on each page.

These mini-books are short and simple to create and help your early readers as they begin to learn the sounds each letter makes. Each sentence starts the same way making it easy and predictable for your young readers. They are perfect for the beginning of the year or spread throughout!

Fun Jellyfish Themed Sentence Starters:

These jellyfish are fun sentence starters for you to not only get to know your students better. But for them to also practice their fine motor skills of cutting things out and writing words. They are also fun to use as decorations in your classroom. Your students can also decorate their jellyfish however they would like. I created #5 different colors of jellyfish as well as a black and white one that you can print on different colors of paper or have your students decorate and color themselves.
