Beach Phonics

The skills covered in this activity are: magic e, long vowels, digraphs, and blends.  I decided to create this for my advance kiddos because CVC is too easy for them.  I hope you enjoy.  Thank you!

Summer Breeze CVC

I am looking forward to summer vacation! This year has been a fun but overwhelming year so I am excited for summer to come along.  I still have few kiddos that cannot read CVC words yet.  I decided to make a CVC activity to help them using a summer theme.  Can't you tell I am excited for summer?!?! I got the idea from someone that did the Arctic Freeze.  Thought it would be nice to have a CVC one with a different theme.  I will be making one with blends/digraphs and silent e since my other kiddos are working on those.  COMING VERY SOON!  Hope you enjoy the activity and please leave a comment if you decide to grab one.  I really appreciate kind comments :)

I just have the kiddos write the letters inside the box or use magnet letters instead of making letter cards and having them put it in each box.  I thought making letter cards was too difficult to manage and dry erase/magnet letters would work much better.  Click on the link below if you like to purchase a copy.

Writing Checklist Bookmark

In the beginning of the school year, my students and I really dislike writing time.  Growing up, I was never fond of writing so I had a "I can care less attitude."  But after teaching writing and seeing the growth my students has made in writing, I am now passionate about it.  My students even ask for more time during writing block! How amazing is that!!!!  I am a proud teacher :)  A person that inspired me to teach writing is Deedee Wills from Mrs. Wills Kindergarten.  If you have not check out her blog, it is a MUST! She does an amazing job talking about her writing block.  She created a writing paper to use with her kids with editing checklist on the bottom.  What a smart lady!  I decided to take her idea and create a writing checklist bookmark for my kids so they can have it in their writing folder to reference.  If you would like to purchase it, please go to my TPT store

Blends and Digraphs Write the Room

We have been doing an amazing job with CVC words so I decided to start on blends and digraphs.  We started last week and boy they are doing an amazing job with it. I created a write the room that focused on blends and digraphs since CVC was not challenging them.  Feel free to grab your copy.


Here is a recording sheet that I found somewhere in the blogging word for students to record their answers.  Please let me know if it is yours so I can give you credit. I love this recording sheet!


Please leave a comment if you grab a copy.  I would appreciate it.

Happy Easter!

Currently in April

I have been such a bad blogger this month.  There was so many things to do and I feel like I am not even close to being done with it.  My to-do list just keeps getting longer and longer.  I can't wait until summer and be done with my masters! It has been a long and dreadful process.  Anyways, I decided to take a moment and join a linky party that I do every month.
