IT'S ABOUT TIME, TEACHERS, for THE ELECTION!

It's about time for the Presidential Election in the U.S.  My favorite way to teach election vocabulary is with ELECTION HINK PINKS, et al.  These word riddles help children learn to problem solve while exercising vocabulary skills (definitions, synonyms, parts of speech, rimes, ...).  These task cards prompt learners to interpret data, make inferences, draw conclusions, and analyze new information. Here's a sample:

These Hink Pink puzzles are ideal for upper elementary and middle school classes.

Sight words are a fundamental element of reading instruction. As such, you need to devote time to these building blocks. After all, they account for nearly 75% of all vocabulary in elementary reading material.

One way to expose students to sight words is with a word wall. Such displays provide constant access to the foundational vocabulary and help to instill independence. To preserve your precious time, I offer a variety of word walls based on the Dolch list. You can find them here. From pandas to cowpokes, you are sure to find a theme you like.

Coloring printables are a popular means of providing practice for instant recognition of the high frequency words. The coloring sheets in my store focus on manageable chunks of the Dolch list. Here's a FREE version to try:
