Color Monster Read and Write the Room Freebie!

I love to have Read and Write the Room as a station in my class!!!  My students love it also!!  I have found some great freebies from other teachers and now I am trying to make some of my own.  This is my first one :)  I know that Halloween is over but it is still Fall.....I found these great FREE color monsters at Andrea Gibson's store on TpT so I wanted to use them.  You should check out her store at: http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Teacher-Andrea

If you would like my freebie, then you can grab it HERE at Tpt or HERE at TN :)
p.s. I love my font from A Cupcake for the Teacher!!!!

Thanksgiving Roll and Read plus a freebie :)

My class loved the Halloween Roll and Read station I made but we did not have much time to use it.............so I made another one with a Thanksgiving theme for the next two weeks.  Most of my students only had a chance to use the short a boards since that was our first vowel.  We will be learning short i next week so they will have new words to practice in this station!  If you are interested, you can find it at my Tpt store here or my Tn store here.

I also made a FREEBIE.......I am Thankful I can Read My Sight Words for a RTI station.  It is also a Roll and Read game.  I will use it during small group instruction for my students who are still learning our sight words.  We use the Storytown reading series along with the pre-primer and primer dolch words.  This game covers the first 10 (out of 30) lessons so it has 28 sight words. If you would like to download it, then you can grab it at my Tpt store here or my TN store here :)

Fall Fun with short a Words!

We introduced our first vowel last week and I am very excited!  Now that we have letter a, we can start blending/reading/writing our cvc words!!  I have made some new reading stations using our new cvc words for this week.  You can find my new activities here at Tpt or here at TN.

Mr. Spider loves numbers.....Freebie!!!

My students never get tired of this pocket chart game!!  I like to change it with different themes and different skills as much as possible for them!  They have been playing Where is Johnny Appleseed? with numbers 1-20.  I have students who are ready to identify numbers greater than 20 and I have students who need to work on their ten frames.  I think this will work for everyone :)  If you would like this freebie, you can grab it here on TPT or here at TN.

Johnny Appleseed Freebie

I made 6 pages of letter fluency as a reading station next week.  My students this year love to work with clothespins and timers!!!  I have 3 pages of lowercase letters and 3 pages of capital letters that I will add to the fluency station.  We are working on identifying 100 letters in a minute.  This is very overwhelming for some of the class.  I have pages with 100 letters on them, but I have added pages with less letters so the students can feel successful.  The students also love to have choices!  I have put pre-decodable and decodable readers in the station so they have a variety.  All of the choices do require a timer so they are practicing their fluency. 
If you are interested, you can find my station here at Tpt!!!!

Roll Say Keep Beach Numbers

My class loves to play Roll, Say, Keep, so I made 4 new math games for them.  I have Numbers 1-120, Addition, Subtraction, and Counting Objects to 50.  I like my students to be able to help each other, so I let them ask for help during the game.  Since this gives everyone the chance to earn the same amount of cards, I always add +1(take another turn), -1(lose one card), +2(take 2 extra turns), and -2(put 2 cards back) cards to the game.  My students love these extra cards.  They get so happy when they pick one.  I am excited to have these new games because it gives me the chance to really differentiate my station.  I can have a group of students working on number identification and another group working on addition.  I can also keep it all addition but only use certain addition facts for certain students.
