Crazy Wonderful Days

Engage your students with this fun recipe activity!   Students can write their version of the recipe and then sheets can be sent home to the parent/guardian so they can provide the actual recipe.  🙂   Bind the students and parent/guardian recipes together and send home for a memory!

This file contains 8 pages of recipe templates. The first 4 pages are identical to the second 4 pages, except the second 4 pages have lighter lines for easier reading of printing! Also, I have included sheets that are designed for younger kids and older kids depending on who you are teaching!

Enjoy this file! This would be good to use for units related to family traditions, holidays, Mother’s Day celebrations, etc!

Learning sight words can be fun and exciting with this system!  Just $3 for years of use!!  Check out the full description below the links!!!  🙂

Order at TpT Link: Sight Words – Work Hard for the Money ($3 – TpT)

OR ..

 

All you need is colored paper, file folders, scissors, and some glue!   Print all the sheets on the colors of your choice, then cut and put together the folders.  I have shown my assembled ones below!

This is a fun and interactive tool to encourage students to learn sight words while “earning” sight word money!

I have included in the file:

time cards (students can start as Word Reviewers and be promoted to Word Managers and even ABC CEOs!  There are stars on the promoted time cards to designate their position at Sight Word, Inc.!)

sight word money (100 sight words, PLUS 1 page designated to blank sight word money so that you can write your own!)

labels for front and inside of folders (students can write their own names or the teacher can prepare this part!)

promotion certificates (two certificates have been included for when students are promoted to Word Manager and ABC-CEO!)

100 Words:
the, of, and, a, to, in, is, you, that, it, he, was, for, on, are, as, with, his, they, I, at, be, this, have, from, or, one, had, by, words, but, not, what, all, were, we when, your, can, said, there, use, an, each, which, she, do, how, their, if, will, up, other, about, out, many, then, them, these, so, some, her, would, make, like, him, into, time, has, look, two, more, write, go, see, number, no, way, could, people, my, than, first, water, been, called, who, am, its, now, find, long, down, day, did, get, come, made, may, part

Next, you just have to determine how you will use this system….

-How many times do they have to get the word correct to “earn” the money?

-Will you have a designated “shopping day” in the classroom for the students to spend their money?   (A redemption stamp could be used to stamp the front or back of the money to show that it has been used and still keep the money in the pocket… maybe even put a pocket on the back for money that has been redeemed!)

-Will you promote the students from reviewer to manager to CEO?  Will you have shiney star stickers to place on the promoted time cards?

So much fun and learning to be had!  Enjoy!!   And leave some comments below!  🙂 🙂

 

When my oldest munchkin went to kindergarten she didn’t have very much experience using scissors – it wasn’t something I intentionally avoided, it just wasn’t something I hadn’t encouraged or thought about teaching her – LOL!!

So here is a file that can help prepare kids for kindergarten or continue to develop their skills while creating a simple craft!  Distribute the sheets, let the students cut the shapes and match them up and glue onto the template sheet.

There are four files to print / copy (just make sure to figure out how many copies of each page you need):

Simple Cuts – flower (FREE)

Simple Cuts - flower (4)

Page 1 – Template (one per student)

Simple Cuts - flower (3)

Page 2 – Print on green (one section per student)

Simple Cuts - flower (2)

Page 3 – Print on flower color (one section per student)

Page 4 – Print on yellow (one circle per student)
