Dollar Deals Galore!

Happy New Year, everyone! It's Gina from Teaching With Heart. I am SO excited to see what 2016 has in store for me, and I hope you are ready to tackle the new year as well! This month, I began creating a new series of products called Let's Label. My students LOVED learning about labeling a diagram, and it turned out to be a great way for them to practice some important writing skills!

I really love this series because I have such a range of abilities in my classroom, and these labeling activities help me to target all of my learners! The advanced version requires students to use the words from the word bank to label the diagram. Then, they must use one of those words in a sentence.

The more scaffolded version requires students to cut and paste the labels onto the diagram. This is great for my students who lack strong fine motor skills- they still get to practice the skill of labeling! After their diagram is labeled, there is a pre-written sentence for them to trace and practice reading.

These labeling activities also come with COLOR versions which I love to use because I only have to print them once! I print them out and put them in dry erase sleeves (you could also laminate them or put them in sheet protectors). My students are able to complete the activity using a dry erase marker in our writing center. Much less prep for me!!

Get Organized for BTS: LABELS style!

Hi, everyone! It's Shelly Rees, of Appletastic: Blossoming in Fifth Grade! You may know that I teach fifth grade or that I love creating teacher resources, but you probably don't know that I am a label junkie. Truth. There is nothing better than a nicely organized space, where everything is clearly labeled for the world to see!

My dollar deal for August is nothing other than....... Editable Labels! Not just any old labels, of course, but some beautifully colored editable labels with a variety of backgrounds. They are perfect for just about any organizational need you may have at school, at home, or even at church!

Take a look at some of the ways these labels can be used in your classroom:

 Create schedule cards to keep your class on track throughout the day.

 Label your book bins in your classroom library and personalize students' bins.

 Keep your graded and ungraded paper organized. 

(Isn't it sooo nice when that "ungraded" bin is totally empty?)

Make those supply containers really stand out in a beautiful way!

You can get this set of Magnificent Multicolored with Chalkboard Editable Labels for only $1 through August 20th @ 11:59 pm. Click HERE to buy them now!

Hey friends, it's Jen from Sparkling in Second. 

Back to School is upon us! Here's one thing that has helped me stay organized before school starts...

LABELS!

I love to label things, I really do. It makes me happy. The funny thing is, I may start a label for all my students' "Writing Notebook" and end up changing the label to "Interactive Writing Journal" half way through the year, yes, yes I do! 

That's why I love these labels!

They are ready to edit, print, and GO!

{I have a tutorial on how to only print some labels HERE, as you can see from the picture above, I was missing some labels :)}

Now my notebooks are all ready for the new year!

If you'd like to snag these EDITABLE labels for just $1, head over to my TpT Store!

They will only be $1 through August 20th @ 11:59pm!

See you next month!

Beginning Sounds (December)

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...at least at everyone else's house. I haven't found the time to get out my Christmas decorations yet. How about you?

I can't believe we only have three weeks until Christmas Break! I think I get more excited than the students at this time of the year.

We will have taught every letter of the alphabet before Christmas break ends. Hopefully you have taught most of them too, so here's some practice for beginning letter sounds and a great deal too. Students get so excited when they start seeing pictures of Santa, Christmas trees, and gifts. This simple beginning sounds pack allows students to enjoy Christmas as well as show their knowledge of beginning sounds. The following photos show 2 of the 4 included pages.

Beginning Sounds (December)

 

The teacher should name each picture so that the students are familiar with the pictures. The product description names each picture if you are unsure of any of them.

 

To add more skills and to include different levels of activities, students can label the pictures after cutting and gluing the letter for the beginning sound. You can see in the pictures below that some students did label their pictures. I love seeing how they sound out their words. Then students can color the Christmas pictures. Also, for those students who are ready, they can write a sentence for each picture on the back of their paper, using good writing skills, of course. I get so excited when I can read everything a student has written without them having to read their writing to me. They get excited too when I can read it. They always say, "How do you know what that said?" I always reply with, "Well, you did such a super job stretching and sounds out your words that I could read it." That makes them so proud of their work.

 

Take a look at one of these four sheets in action showing the different activities they can do with it (cutting and gluing beginning sounds, labeling pictures, coloring, and writing sentences). The students had a blast with these Christmas pictures, and I hope your students do, too! ENJOY!

 

 

They really seemed to enjoy coloring these Christmas pictures after cutting and gluing the beginning sounds.

I love how these two students labeled each picture.

 

 

The pictures below show two students who went the extra mile to write a sentence on the back of their paper for each picture shown. My students know that they are not to just sit and do nothing. I always tell them that there is always more they can add.  

1. I got a hat. 2 My reindeer is brown. 3. Santa is big. 4. The elf is here. 5. My star is yellow. 6. My candle is black.

1. I can put on the hat. 2. The reindeer can go fast. 3 Santa Claus gives me something. 4. I see the star in the sky. 5. I light up my candle. 5 Elves make toys.

 

 

I hope your students enjoy this beginning sounds activity for December.
