FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON - “Free Writing Sentence Starters Kindergarten Sentence Building Stems & Frames”

by Deedee Wills
Pre-Kindergarten - 1st Grade


These free sentence building and sentence writing activities are a great way to support simple sentence writing for your emergent learners. This free activity can be used as a sentence writing center or as a whole group sentence writing activity. It can also be used as an interactive writing or guided writing activity.

This free simple sentence writing center includes:

  • 5 different simple sentences frames for kindergarten
  • Sight word cards so your students can build the simple sentences
  • 8 pet themed vocabulary cards
  • Simple sentence writing paper (2 options)
  • an "I Can" card for student independence
  • 3 individual simple sentence writing worksheets with related sentence practice. These are perfect for handwriting practice.

There is also an emergent reader included in this packet. The emergent reader provides a predictable and simple sentence text for your kindergarten classroom. The book focuses on the sight word "look" that students will trace and write.

Your kindergarten students will be able to practice writing simple sentences and have handwriting practice at the same time!

HOW TO USE THIS SENTENCE WRITING CENTER

BUILDING SENTENCES:

I always introduced this sentence building center at the beginning of the school year. We built sentences together and practiced reading with one-to-one correspondence. After a few weeks, my kindergarten students became PROS! The sentence center was ready to use as a center rotation.

EMERGENT READERS:

These simple sentence readers are great as a morning work activity. Students can then add them into their book back to read with a partner and take them Home for nightly reading.

SENTENCE WRITING PRACTICE WORKSHEETS:

Students quickly become familiar with these handwriting and sentence practice worksheets. We use them during morning work.

Save 40% on the bundle!

Silly Sentences!!

WHAT OTHER TEACHERS ARE SAYING:

"My students loved writing sentences with these sentence starters and pictures. Their writing has gotten much better since I started using this resource! Highly recommend!."

"My students are writing sentences so much better now that I've been implementing your monthly pocket chart sentence center this year! Thank you so much!"

I hope you enjoy!

FREE MISC. LESSON - “Contingency Map Editable Templates for Behavioral Problem Solving”

by Autism Classroom Resources-Christine Reeve
Pre-Kindergarten - 12th Grade


A contingency map is essentially a graphic organizer, or a visual problem solver.  It shows the students the outcome of different reactions to a potential problem.  They are a way to help students understand the outcomes of their behavior in response to specific events.

How Are They Used?

You can use them proactively to help students plan for and practice reactions to potential situations that trigger challenging behavior. They also can be used to cue students as visual reminders when those triggers occur.

What's Included?

  • 2 distinct templates that can be used with writing or picture symbols
  • Picture symbols that can be cut out and used with the print version
  • Universal no symbols to use with the print version
  • Powerpoint™️ and Keynote™️ versions that you can add text or pictures to digitally and transmit by email or links.
  • Directions on how to use contingency maps

For more information about contingency maps and the evidence base behind them, as well as examples, check out my blog post

FREE MATH LESSON - “Freebie!! Solving Story Problems At the Zoo First Grade”

by Mercedes Merrell
1st Grade


Freebie!! Solving Story Problems: At the Zoo First Grade offers practice with the necessary steps for solving mathematical word problems. The steps included in all my monthly math products are: student reads (or listens to), circles the numbers or number words given, underlines the key words that indicate what mathematical operation needs to be done, draws the representations (picture) of the numbers, writes the number sentence, solves, and writes the sum/difference (answer). However, this one is more of a starter set transitioning the students from Kinder to First grade. The teacher will start by reading the story problem to the students and modeling the above steps until students can do these on their own. There is a Work Mat with the steps to solving the word problems. There are 14 addition/subtraction number story problems already on the work mats for you to copy and students to solve. They are all (but one) cut and paste for students to identify number/picture correspondence to find the answers, and they all have a zoo theme. This is a perfect activity for small group teacher guided lessons, math centers, or for whole class work. Also included in this product is a class graphing activity where students color/cut their favorite animals, post/graph on the board or chart paper, then complete their individual class graph sheet to match. A blank work mat is also here for you to use with the students who are ready to move on, or for you to create your own word problems. If you like this product, I also have: September, October, November, December, January, March, April, and May sets already available in my TpT store, and I am currently working on February. If you have a need for a Spanish version, the November one is available in my TpT store, and I will be happy to make any of the other months upon request. I would greatly appreciate your positive feedback! If something is not to your satisfaction, I will do my best to make it so, please contact me at: mercymerrell@sbcglobal.net
