As you know, phonics is a huge skill in first grade and most of the time, it is pretty boring for most of our kiddos. Last year I knew I had to jazz things up in my phonics instruction and create something meaningful, engaging, and something that helped the sounds stick with my students. That's when … [Read more...]

Phonics Friends
One thing I absolutely love to teach (besides math) is Phonics. I don't know about y'all, but when I was in 1st grade we didn't have different spelling rules and fancy names like digraphs, diphthongs, etc. Vowels were vowels and consonants were consonants, and spelling was memorized. That's how it was in my neck of the woods anyways. Needless to say I was lost when I first started teaching 1st grade! I was trying to remember the names, … [Read more...]

Counting Coins Activities and Centers
I personally believe the key way to teach coin identification and counting coins is by a lot of exposure throughout the entire school year. Many times the standard is taught once during the school year, we move on to the next standard, and students don't see coins again until the next school year. The activities below can all be used throughout the year since they do not have a monthly theme. This unit hits so many skills that it can be used in … [Read more...]
