Dilemma Trigger Prompt Cards freebie!

Feasgar Math!

Some 'Dilemma Trigger prompt Cards' ... ever gave your class LOADS of input and they still write boring, generic and short stories?  Well, hopefully giving them more focused direction using these cards may help your more able/ older children.

I got the idea years ago from an old print out that a retired teacher gave me and have adapted it to suit my needs (and with the help of some lovely free borders courtesy of blogland).


We plan to use them with mixed ability/age groups during our weekly visit to the woods.  The children will be planning, acting out and then writing a fairytale with a twist... but you could just as easily use them in a classroom based story lesson.

Next freebies will be for 'magic e' and for 'th and sh sounds'... coming soon!

Word Family Puzzles

One of my students’ favorite reading centers is called “reading puzzles”.   In this center, my students use self correcting puzzles to match their word family words with a picture that depicts that word.  Once they have matched all the words and pictures, they read all the words aloud.  It’s a great way to build confidence with word family words, and to get kids to understand what all those rhyming words mean.
As with all of my word family products, the ACK Family is available free at Teachers Pay Teachers and at Raki’s Shop.  I have self correcting puzzles available for other word families for $2.50 per puzzle at Teachers Pay Teachers.

Grammar Center

So, I wasn’t sure exactly how to implement a Grammar Center with my First Graders, but I knew they needed it.  I specifically wanted them to work on what a sentence should look like and what punctuation to put at the end.  So, I played around and stumbled onto this Fix the Sentence idea. My kids love them! They are simple and just remind students to put a capitol at the beginning and a period at the end, while working on some very basic reading. Nothing fancy, but it’s really helping my kids, so I thought I would share! Here’s a link to the Google Docs form of this Center. Grab a copy for FREE and hopefully your kids will love it as much as mine do!
