0 Syllable Thumpers

Have you given your class a quiz so you will know your students' learning style and multiple intelligence?  There are many different tests out there.  Here are a few:

When I plan lessons, I try to incorporate as many of the learning styles and multiple intelligences as possible so that I will meet my students' needs.  When I introduce syllables to my students, I like to use syllable thumpers.  We make thumpers out of oatmeal containers or containers that are the similar size and shape.  We decorate them.  We thump on our container when we count syllables.  This is a little noisy, but students love it!  

I just finished a Syllable Thumper Center packet that is patriotic themed.  This would be a great addition to your Presidents' Day lessons.

Included in this packet are:

• 4 syllable cards
• 18 picture cards that students will sort

Two different response sheets are included so you can differentiate.

There are two different pages that students can choose from to decorate their syllable thumper.

A parent note asking for supplies is also included.

0 February - Trace, Write, Draw

Are you looking for a writing center that you can set up up for the entire month of February?  It is a center that is quick and easy to set up.  Once your students learn the format the first week, you (hopefully) won't have to spend too much time go over instructions for the center the following weeks.  Each week your students will complete a writing assignment.  There are two to choose from.  One has three words and the other has the three words from the first assignment plus an additional word.  

There are group signs included in case you put your students in writing ability groups.  There are also 9 extension cards that you can use to differentiate these assignments.  The signs include:
