Special Blog Only Freebie: Long A and Short A Color & Sort

I've been working the last month or so on Long A activities for my mother-in-law and to sell on Teachers Pay Teachers. Since it has been a while, I thought I would share a sample of the activities that are included in the bundles. The two activities are for sorting long A and short A words.

The answer keys are available in the preview as well. If you have any trouble downloading the product, let me know and I can send it directly.

The full products can be found on TPT:

I'm pretty excited for the long O activities bundle that I am currently working on. Once I am finished, I will combine the products into one mega, growing bundle as well as sell them separately.

Long E Activities Bundle

I've been working on this product for a long time and it is finally finished!
Teach, practice, and review long e words with this comprehensive bundle! Students will have fun with a wide range of activities to enhance their learning experience. This product also has students practice identifying long e words and short e words. 

This bundle includes:
+mystery picture activities where students identify words and color the picture based on the given code
+write the Room set to help get students out of their seats
+task cards for whole class, center, or individual practice
+sorting activities to help students identify the different long e patterns as well as to identify long e versus short e words
+a board game for small group practice
+word searches
+crossword puzzles

My mother-in-law mentioned that she was having a hard time finding long vowel activities, so I came up with these. They are available as separate products as well. 

Three Things Thursday-New Products!

This year, we went to Illinois to visit my parents for Christmas. Since we were on vacation, I took a break from actively keeping up with Teachers Pay Teachers products and blogging. Now that we're back, I have some more products to introduce.

 There were times where prepping for guided reading was a real pain. During my first year of teaching, I would be up until 2:00 am several nights in a row trying to get the lessons done for each of my groups. I created this product to save myself and other teachers the headache of working on guided reading plans for The Sign of the Beaver. Just print the packet and you can be on your way. Each chapter has comprehension questions for students to answer, chapter summaries for teacher use, end of book activities, plus more! This product can be used for individual student study, small group instruction, or even whole class instruction.

This next product is a continuation of my math task card series. The task cards here are specifically for 4th grade, but can be used as a review for upper grades. There are 28 task cards that have problems that help students practice reading, writing, rounding, and comparing multi-digit numbers. Perfect for fast finishers, centers, or games!

Finally, I created another Spanish product. This product is based off of the popular card game, Spoons. During play, students are looking for an AR verb, its correct definition, the correct conjugation, as well as a picture that matches the definition of the verb. Great for beginning students or those that just need a review!

Multi-Digit Multiplication Unit for 5th Grade

Multi-digit Multiplication
I just finished my biggest project yet: Multi-digit Multiplication Unit.

I haven't decided if this will be a growing bundle or not, but I'm pretty happy with it at this point. I included task cards....

a project based learning activity....

vocabulary posters....

and more!

I'm really excited about the Excel book that I included. You can input students' names and their pre and post test scores and then it will tell you the percent change in the score as well as a chart showing the change in student scores. When teachers have to report student progress, it will make it much easier. 

Christmas Vocabulary-Spanish Edition

Meeting Update
The church meeting I went to was pretty good! It was mainly a Broadcast where they talked and answered questions about teaching. It reminded me of this talk by Elder Bednar that was given back in 2007 that one of my college professors had us read.

New Product

I really liked all of the Spanish classes that I took in high school and college. My last year of teaching, I ran the Spanish club for the 4 h program. This inspired my latest bundle for vocabulary practice and this freebie. 

Perfect for upper elementary or secondary education, it contains a word search with an answer key, a crossword with an answer key, Taboo cards, a Flyswatter PowerPoint, and a vocabulary matching game. 

Exercise and Racing

My family is going to Idaho for Thanksgiving and my grandpa's 88th birthday. Instead of the usual football game, we're going to participate in a 5k charity race. I have never been one for running, so this will be a challenge. I didn't do too bad for my first day. Hopefully I can keep it up!
