        Letter Work

~Trace the Letters

~Candy Alphabet Puzzle: Have students match the letters to their pictures.  I also created a mat students can use to place their puzzle pieces on.

~2 different types of letter worksheets:  Worksheets go from A-Z.

      * 1st Worksheet: students can color the letter that is on the right.  Then they will write upper and lowercase letters the correct way on the lines.  Then they will find the uppercase or lowercase letter in the box and circle it.  Then they will sound out the pictures and circle the ones that start with that letter.  Have students use a paperclip as the spinner.  Students will place the paperclip and pencil in the middle of the circle and spin the paperclip.  Whatever letter they land on they will write it in the box to the right.

       *2nd Worksheet: Have students find the words in the box and circle them.  Cross out the words once they have found them.  Cut out the bottom part of the worksheet.  Then cut the letters that this worksheet is covering and glue them in the correct box.  Trace the letters.  Students will cut out the pictures at the bottom of the worksheet and glue them next to their words.  Have students trace the letter 3 times to have it look like a rainbow.

Classroom Management, Behavior Chart, Behavior Log, and Sticker Charts

 This product will help you to create a positive environment for your classroom.  It will give you different classroom management ideas that you can implement how you feel fit.

 This product comes with:

~2 Behavior Chart Signs one with a colored background and one without a colored background

   -The behavior chart gives students the opportunity to move up or down on a chart.  It allows students to be able to keep track of their behavior.  The colors are green=Ready to Learn, blue=Making Good Choices, Purple=Being an Example, pink=WOW!! Fantastic!!, yellow=Think About It, Orange=Teacher’s Choice, Red=Parent Contact.  Students start on green.  If they make good choices then they are able to move up on the chart.  When my students get to pink I give them a sticker.  Once they have reached pink 5 times then I will have lunch with them.  Then that student will start over and will get to have lunch with me again once he/she has earned 5 stickers.  If a student goes below green then there are consequences that I have them follow. 

 ~2 different types of Behavior Logs.  One that is double-sided and one that is on one page.

    -The behavior logs go from August to July.  Each month comes with a small explanation of what the colors mean.  A reminder to parents to check their child’s folder daily, and a picture with the month next to it.  At the bottom part, it has the days of the week and boxes with the different colors.  You write the dates above each box and then copy enough for each student.  Then place the log in each student’s folder.  Each day whatever color a student is on then you circle that color.  That way parents will know how their child behaved for the day.  There is a comment section for each day if you need to use it.

~2 Parent Letters that explain how to you will use the behavior chart in your classroom

      -The first letter discusses the behavior chart and giving students a small treat like cookie crunch cereal, smarties, skittles, m&m’s, and etc, when they bring back their behavior log signed.  I give one cookie crunch cereal for every color that a student is on.  For example: if a student is on pink then that student would get 4 cookie crunch cereal cookies.  You can do that with smarties, skittles, m&m’s, and etc.  Now I do not give the whole package to a student.  I only give them one piece.  My students loved the extra treat at the end of the day.  The letter also talks about having FUN FRIDAY.  On Fridays, at the last 15 to 20 minutes, I would give my students free choice time.  This was a time that I would pull out games that they do not normally get to play with every day. 

    -The second letter discusses the behavior chart, but I left out the special treats and Fun Friday. 

~Behavior Log Daily Schedule

   -There are two different types of daily schedules.  The first one has all of the different subjects that a student learns throughout the week.  You will just have to fill in the times.  The second one is blank so you can fill in your schedule and the times.  I use the daily schedule for students that are having difficulties with behavior in my classroom.  It gives the parents and me information on what is going on with that student.

~Sticker charts come with a colored background and no background.

   -Sticker charts go with the behavior logs.  There is a sticker chart for every month.  I use my sticker charts for homework.  When a student brings back a homework page then I give them a sticker.  Once they fill the entire sticker chart then they are able to go to my treasure box. 

~This also comes with instructions on how to use the behavior chart sign, behavior logs, sticker charts, behavior chart letters, behavior log daily schedule, and ideas on classroom management.

Password with alphabet, number, color, and high frequency word cards

 Password comes with:
~password card
~alphabet cards A-Z
~number word cards zero-twenty
~basic color word cards
~high frequency word cards (the first 32 words

You can place the password card on your door. Stick a skill card on the password card that you want your students to know. Every time your students goes by the password card they have to read the "password" before entering or exiting the room.

    

 I love using this password cards in my classroom.  I use this as one of my jobs.  A student grabs the password when we get to the door.  Then each student has to tell them the password to enter the room.  If students do not say the correct word then the student is allowed to tell them to go back to the end of the line.  Most of my students know the word before entering.  I have them go to the end so they can hear the word over and over.  My thought is the more they hear then they will learn it and remember it for themselves.
