Sentence diagramming is so helpful when teaching students parts of speech and sentence structure. The repetitiveness of diagramming for a bell ringer is extremely beneficial for students. I tried grammar workbooks for years, but my students hardly retained anything. Daily sentence diagramming made them remember their parts of speech, and was an amazing foundation for my students to have when we started forming different types of sentences. This technique provided my students a strong enough foundation to truly understand gerunds, participles, and infinitives!

Phonemic Awareness Cards R-Controlled Vowels

By K3 Homeschool Foundations

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

-Includes

-vowels; ar,or,er,ur,ir

-R-controlled vowel words with a picture

-Sound boxes on the front

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

Behavior Bingo for Elementary Classrooms

By Professional Development and Teacher Prep

Behavior Bingo is a behavior incentive tool to add to your elementary classroom management plan. There is a Google Slides version and a PDF version. 

You can move over a piece to the bingo board for Google Slides when the students earn it. You can decide on what kind of reward system to implement. If students transition from one subject to another in a certain amount of time or if they are quiet in the hallway, they earn a bingo piece. 

This can be a part of the various classroom management strategies that you have already in your classroom. This can be used on a whiteboard or a bulletin board with the printable bingo boards and board pieces. You can laminate the board and pieces for longevity purposes. The bingo pieces can be cut out and placed in a basket or somewhere where they can be pulled out easily. When students earn a bingo piece, you or a student can pull out a bingo piece. An expo marker can be used to cross out the matching square. When students have earned four-in-a-row or have filled the whole bingo board, the students earn a reward. 

This is an excellent way to keep students motivated and your classroom management system running like a well-oiled machine. 

The product includes:

  • 3 Google Slide Bingo Boards 

  • 3 Printable Bingo Boards

  • 3 Printable Bingo Board Pieces
