They had to walk around the room to find their match. After finding their … [Read more...]
Suffix sorts with lots of freebies!
We have been working on suffixes over the past few weeks. Suffixes can be somewhat tricky for first graders, so having them apply the skills in as many hands on ways as possible....the better. I start our learning off with -ed and -ing. I introduce the rule with this flip anchor chart that was inspired by Amy Lemons a few years ago. After introducing the rules, I give each student a sticky note with a base word on it. The students … [Read more...]
