Friday Freebie!

Howdy, friends!

Summer is rolling along, and I am enjoying this relaxing time with my family and friends.  Hope you are too! I have decided to make a new goal for myself this week- No matter how busy I may get, I am going to post a FANTASTIC freebie for my readers each and every Friday.  The purpose of my blog is to share creative educational resources with my teacher friends out there, and with parents of elementary schoolers as well. I never want to lose sight of my goal. So, I hope you enjoy my posts.

This week's freebie comes from First Grade Funtastic.  It is an extensive (and adorable!) pack of activities to use with Pete the Cat: Rocking in My School Shoes. All of the books in the Pete the Cat series are so engaging to young learners. Your kiddos are going to flip for this one!

So many skills are covered in this freebie pack for grades K-2: 

graphing, sight word recognition, rhyming, sequencing....  Click here to download!

Spring has Sprung...

Hey Y'all!  We are back from Spring Break and ready to roll.  Although the kiddos seem a little tired today, I know they are happy to be back at school and are ready to get back in the swing of things.  It's the final nine week period of the school year, and I am dedicated to keeping all of my kiddos on track!  We still have many skills to cover and lots of work to do.  Now that all of my K/1 students seem to have their letter sounds mastered, we are moving on to sight word recognition.  I have SO many wonderful sight word activities to share with you.  Here are just a few of my favorites:

My number one fave is this SUPER HERO sight word activity from Erin at SmallTypes.  My first graders absolutely loved this writing activity, as you can see below!

Visit Erin's TpT store to download this awesome freebie! 

Next is this really creative freebie from the Moffatt Girls... Now, if you have never visited their wonderful, amazing, fantastic, incredible blog, you MUST go check it out right this second. 

THE MOFFATT GIRLS ROCK!

Their TpT store is also chock full of freebies and exciting educational ideas.  Anywho, here is a "Crack the Code" activity that I am going to be using this week.  I thought this was such a clever idea.  I always wondered what I could do with all those little whimsical picture fonts... now I know!

My third and final activity comes from Kimberlee Fulbright at Two Fulbright Hugs.  This sight word extravaganza has FIFTY (yes I said fifty!) sheets of Fry Sight Word practice for your little learners.
This freebie is so comprehensive, you need not look any further!
The students will read, write, color, cut and paste their way to sight word stardom.  :)
