Thanksgiving Writings

Writing is something that I always encourage in my classroom.  When I give a writing assignment to my 2nd graders, I like to provide them with words to use within the writing. Giving them a word bank to me keeps down on the never failing question of "How do you spell this word or that word?"  With me responding, "Spell it the best way you know how." or "Sound it out."

You can download my Thanksgiving Word List here.

I also am including a writing page here.

The writing page can be used for endless possibilities.

 Hope you all have a wonderful week...

Fire Safety

I'm having a hard time finding some unique and new activities involving Fire Safety, and wanted to know if anyone else does anything interesting with their students.  Please share any and all ideas; I'm looking for activities to do with 2nd graders.

Go Fish

with Homophones...

     I'm always looking for interesting ways to teach and master different skills in my classroom.  After  I had introduced homophones, we played 'Homophones Go Fish' which yours truly created.  It is 14 pages with over 120+  homophone cards that only need to be printed, laminated and cut apart.  Easy game to reinforce a skill that otherwise would need pencil and paper.
