I hope everyone had a very Happy New Year! For those who went back to school today, I'm so sorry! I definitely need a few more days to do, well, nothing, really.
One of my greatest accomplishments this vacation was to finish up my Weekly Language Review Sheets for First Grade.
There are 30 review sheets included and they cover the language common core standards. The review sheets cover the same information each week, however, as the weeks go on, they increase in difficulty, with the words and sentences becoming more challenging to read. The children are able to master the concepts because they are exposed to them every single week. The sheets are filled with countless high frequency words, consonant digraphs, inflectional endings, and irregularly spelled words. They can be used in whole groups, small groups, as assessments, or for homework. They really help me know who may need additional help with a specific skill. If you click on the image below and download the preview, you will see how Lesson 20 is much more difficult than Lesson 1.
In other news, I made you all a little freebie to enjoy if you do a winter unit. It's a Winter Rebus Story. Just click here to grab your copy. If you download it, please let me know if you like it. Thanks!
The grammar review looks great! (love those frames, too!)
