Gung Hay Fat Choy! {And a FREEBIE!}

Chinese New Year is coming up (on February 10th!)! And for those of you who've been following me for a while you know my district uses Houghton Mifflin reading curriculum. 

We're working on the story Chinatown right now, so I created these literacy activities to go with the story and the skills we're working on this week! Even though they were created with HM in mind, you could absolutely use these even if you don't use the same curriculum!

Plus, Nikki at MelonHeadz created this adorable clipart so I had to use it! :) 

Take a look:

They cover four skills: 

Common & Proper Nouns

*Sort

*Scoot  

Suffixes -er and -est

*Sort

*Scoot

*Sentence Match

*Rule Posters 

Consonant Clusters WH-, SH, and TH

 *Scoot

*Sort

Alphabetical Order

*Three differentiated levels

*ABC order to the first letter, second letter, and third letter

Included with ALL of the activities are:

* Recording sheets

* Answer keys

* Student directions

* Teacher directions 

* Word cards

All of the activities can be used with whole group, small group, or at independent centers. In addition, each activity is aligned with Common Core! 

Head on over to TPT to check them out! 

Here's a little freebie from the pack for you: 

Just click on the picture to download! 

I'm looking forward to incorporating some fun Chinese New Year activities- art, read alouds, and other fun stuff in our room! I'll be back this week to share!!! :) 

Hope you are having a great weekend!!! They just go by so fast, right?!?!

Suffixes Literacy Station { FREEBIE }

Hi everyone! 

I'm sad to say today is the last day of our cruise. I will be home tomorrow to catch up on all my blog reading and get back into the "get ready for back to school" mode. :-(

Here is my suffixes freebie for you today. :)

Just click the top picture to grab it. 

It was designed to help the kiddos start to practice using the suffixes -s, -es, and -est. 


There are two activities: a scoot and a sort. And it comes with recording sheets for each activity, teacher directions, student directions, answer keys, AND three "rule" posters for when to add each suffix. AND there are two different levels: an easier one (with the suffixes already added) and a harder one (without the suffixes). AND it comes in color and black and white!!! :)

These can be used for 1st or 2nd graders, or even struggling 3rd graders. 

I hope you can use them!!! Please let me know! 

Also, today is the LAST day to enter my giveaway, too! :)

Head on over and enter!!!
