Valentine's Day Bookmarks

Valentine’s Day Bookmarks

Hi Friends!

Here is a Valentine’s Day project that works great with my second graders.

There are 4 bookmarks on a page.  I have my kiddos color them in.   Then we punch a hole in them, and attach a piece of ribbon.  The kids string some beads on the ribbon.  I ask that beads be in some kind of pattern.  Add a few shiny stickers to give them a little extra pizzazz!

This year we made them for our neighbors at the nursing home.  They loved them!

Enjoy!

Valentine's Day Bingo for Smart Board

Valentine’s Day Bingo for Smart Board - Any Grade

Hi Friends!

Here is a Valentine’s Day Bingo game ready to print and play! Included are the printable game boards for the students and Smart Notebook projectable for keeping track of the game pieces as you call them.

The Smart Board game pieces use the infinite cloner to preserve the design so you can use it year after year.  There are 5 game boards so that you can quickly start your next round.

Here’s what works with my kiddos:

I print the sheets (page 6) one per student. Then, I have the kids cut off the game pieces at the bottom and use a glue stick to glue them onto the game board. I give each player a pack of Smarties for markers.  Then, I work the smart board, sliding one game piece at a time up as the kids cover them on their boards. The winner gets a surprise.  So fun!

Enjoy!

Word Wall Cheers

40 Word Wall Cheers

Word Wall Cheers

One fun way to practice spelling is to cheer the words.  Here is a list of over 40 different cheers that you can do in your classroom to help you students practice their words in a quick fun way.  Be sure to have your students say the whole word, cheer each letter, then say the whole word again.  I've been using these cheers for years in my kindergarten and first grade classrooms.  I introduce a few each week.  Then, when the kids know them all, I add them as a center activity.  The kids never seem to get tired of them!  Enjoy!
