Cause & Effect for 1st and 2nd Graders

 Do your students understand Cause and Effect? They might not know it by those words, but they certainly understand that if you drop a glass cup, it will break.

Do you use centers in your room? Or have an adult or helper in your room? This set of Cause & Effect cards would work great in centers or with a helper.

It's made in black and white, so you can print it on color paper and save on your color ink.

But if you prefer to use colored ink, you can grab this set instead.

Ready for a Good Book During That First Week?

  

One of the first books I would read to my students on the first day of school was Amelia Bedelia. Oh how I loved that crazy lady. 


She helped us see that we all don't understand directions or common phrases. The students were great at predicting the outcome once they saw how she mixed things up. They loved telling me what she SHOULD have done instead. This shows them just how smart they are. 

So, if you're looking for a great book to read on those first few days of school, try Amelia Bedelia. Then continue to read the other books by Peggy Parish about Amelia Bedelia. You won't be disappointed.
