Connor the Cow Contractions! **FREEBIE**

Good morning! As I am currently on vacation I thought I'd take a few minutes to show a new idea! This is a contraction center where students match the contraction to the story!

A great way to use this in your class would be to use it as one of your literacy centers while your completing a reading group.  It's great because the students need to read the story and match the contraction.  

You can even have them write a summary or sequence the story when they're done to enhance their comprehension!

Happy almost Thanksgiving!! This is one of my favorite holiday's, besides Christmas :).  I love getting together with family and really appreciating all that I have.  This year is the first year my husband and I are hosting Thanksgiving so I am excited for that!  Well anyway I created a Thanksgiving Activity pack to use with my students the week before Thanksgiving.  With all the state testing they have to endure I love to make the holiday's packed with exciting lessons.  So take a look!!

I happen to love all graphics by www.djinkers.com!! You should check them out if you haven't already!

Anyway... the first activity in this activity pack is a sequencing activity.  Through classwork that I have been giving I have noticed that my students are struggling with sequencing so I thought I would put this skill into the activity pack.

 

The students read the story about a girl named Jenna on Thanksgiving morning.  This story also leads into a great writing assignment where students can write about traditions their families have on Thanksgiving.  Just a thought :)

This activity pack also gives you a part of speech word sort.  It contains sorting mats for Noun, Adjective, and Verb.  Also 30 vocabulary cards for the students to sort!

I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
