Get Ready For State Assessments

 

Are you hanging in there? Is it time for your spring break? I've got you. I completely understand. That countdown is on! And then we will count down until the end of the year! That's a whole lot of counting.

Speaking of counting. . . Have you seen these? It allows your 2nd or 3rd grade students to practice skip counting. There is a lady bug on each page that helps the child to count on, or maybe they can already see the pattern and figure out the next number.

Practicing with these, helps to prepare your students for multiplication which may be in 2nd or 3rd grade. Letting them see the visual is a good idea. Also questions like these show up on end of the year testing, so that's another reason to get some practice in.

Another way to get ready for end of the year testing is to introduce

or practice finding coordinates. This set comes with a color AND a black and white set. There is also a recording sheet and answer keys provided.

This would be great for 2nd and 3rd graders. And yes, questions like these can show up on state testing, too!

So here's something that your students might enjoy.

Click the picture to go to this product.

This set helps your students understand and practice locating pronouns. The theme is around Easter and April things. Since this is in black and white, you can print this on colored cardstock or paper. This can be used in a small group, in a center individually, or even with the whole class using a document camera.

This is the color set of the same product.

If you like these and want your students to get more practice year round,

there are sets of these for most months or holidays.

There's Some Nonsense in March!

 

Hello MARCH! It's so nice to see you! It means that we in Michigan have survived the winter and pretty much know that most of the snow is done. (although it's snowing as I write this!) Spring is right around the corner and I am ready. I want to get outside without being all bundled up. I bet you do too.

I want to share some of my newest products with you. This NONSENSE WORD set is created in black and white so you can save on colored ink and print on colored paper or cardstock instead. It lets your students practice reading nonsense words with short vowels and blends (and some digraphs) in them. It's currently at half off for a couple more days. So if you'd like this, grab it soon.

You can click the picture to go to my store and this product.

This set of Nonsense Words below, takes the thought process a little deeper. This set uses blends and digraphs with three letter chunks. It is also in black and white. There is a set in color if you'd like to see that click HERE.

As you know this is prime learning time. Your student's brains are like sponges right now. They have all the holidays out of their system and they are READY to learn. Take advantage of this time and help your students grow their brains.
