Free Spelling Activity

Mrs. Vensko created some great spelling task cards that I use during Daily 5 Word Work time.  I created some record sheets for some of these tasks.  They are free on my teachers notebook store.

Here is a preview of what you can download for FREE!

There are 9 pages included in the free download.

Blogging...

I've really been a bad blogger.  I have been giving all of my blogging energy to my blog on the Learning Forward Teacher Community.  Visit learningforward.org, scroll over e-learning and choose communities and click join our teacher leader community. There you will find tons of information for all areas and you will find my literacy blog. :-)  Hope you will join!  I should mention it's free!

Language Arts Activity

I like to teach my language skills with my morning meeting.  Many language skills can be taught in the morning message, but I like to get my kids up and moving.  I made a contraction match up activity.  You can find the activity on my website.
My website

Can it really do that?

I use Google all the time.  Just today I was having trouble with Word and PowerPoint on my Mac.  I googled the answer and now it's fixed!  If something goes wrong and I need to try to fix it I always Google my problems.  If you like Google you're going to love this!  Visit the link below and ask it a question, type in a math problem... what ever you desire, it gives you the answer!  How cool is that?!
