IT'S ABOUT TIME, TEACHERS, for ARCTIC ANIMALS!

Here in the heartland, we are preparing for subzero temperatures this weekend.  Brrrrr.  Seems like the perfect to study arctic animals.

If you are looking for activities that will challenge your learners in math, language arts, and logic, look no further.  PUZZLE PACKS promote critical thinking while working with non-fiction information and content vocabulary.  

PUZZLE PACKS  provide differentiated curricula for GATE and enrichment students.  Fast finishers find these puzzles fun and challenging.  A daily puzzle makes a great bell ringer activity. Or, place a packet of puzzles in one of your stations.  All of these puzzles are print and go.

If you would like to try PUZZLE PACKS before you buy them, here is a FREE sample:

If you 💖these puzzles, there are several more packs available in my TPT store.  If you love the 30% savings of bundles, here they are: 

IT'S ABOUT TIME, TEACHERS, for SIGHT WORDS!

Early readers are encouraged to memorize, or recognize on sight, common words. These SIGHT WORDS allow them to improve reading speed and fluency, and thus, enhance comprehension. For many non-educators, the first thing they think of when they hear SIGHT WORDS is flashcards. Let's break free of that association by making SIGHT WORD  practice more enjoyable. One way to do that is with coloring activities. Check these out:

Similar products with holiday or seasonal themes are also available here. The bundle of these resources will save you 30%. 

SIGHT WORD SQUARE PUZZLERS are another means for practicing these commonly encountered words. These puzzles require students to focus on the words while also exercising critical thinking skills. The goal is to make the words match on every interior side of the square.

A real bonus with these files is that they can be printed in black and white. I recommend printing them on colored cardstock.

As a primary teacher and reading specialist, I am a proponent of word walls. To help you out, I have created several products that will make creating your word wall quick and easy. These resources are provided in a variety of decor themes.  You can peruse them here.
