Phonics Fun

Happy 2012!

I plan on posting on a regular basis this year.

I just finished my first week back to school and started studying r-controlled vowels. I started with Babbling Abby's Pirate Mark unit...my kiddos LOVED it!

This week, we will be on /or/ and I wanted to continue the fun.

I created a little unit with Orville Or (he is very indecisive but loves popcorn!).

Head over and grab it in my TpT store!

Math Station Freebie

Happy Fall, y'all!

Here is a graphing station I adapted from an activity I saved online. It does not have any credits on it, so I don't know who to give credit as the author! (if it is YOU, let me know!)

We just finished a week long graphing unit and this is going out into the math station world this week.

Enjoy!

Fact Family Freebie

Here is a handout I created for my parents to explain what a fact family is. I designed it so it can be used with my Fact Family Fun math station. Leave a comment if you can use it.
