Hello All, Yeah! Today was the first time I had access to me room since the beginning of June!I spent most of my day in porfessional development but I was able to find enough time at the end of the day to hang up me new word wall. I am so excited to be able to put this up and keep it up all year. It goes with my jungle theme and fits perfectly just where I wanted it!!!! I am so pleased with how this turned out, we are only allowed to use mavelous tape on our walls so that is the tape you see around the edges. It is also holding individual cards behind and sticks well to the laminating. You can find this word wall in my TpT store, use the TpT link on the right. Along with the word wall this file includes ABC flash cards, word cards (dolche pre-primer and primer) and an ABC booklet for the children to glue and write their word wall words into.

So yesturday I went with my 3rd grader to the Maybourn Museum on the Baylor University campus, this is a very nice museum and worth the trip if you live within a couple of hours of Waco TX. While going through our guided tour I came across this sign on the wall. I could read it without trouble but it got me thinking about a few things. My first thought was "Is this what it looks like to try to read as a young child, just a bunch of letters with no meaning?" My second thought was "Is this similar to what text looks like to children with dyslexia and dysgraphia and other learning disabilities?" Granted I know that dyslexics reverse letters and dysgraphics flip their letters but I am just thinking of the confusion these issues would cause during the crucuial points in which we learn to read as children. So, this is when I got to thinking about the importance of decoding words and letter/sound recognition. Without these two skills even reading this jumb...

I have just uploaded a set of 10 free math practice worksheets only available for free here on my blog. These worksheets are great for differentiated instruction because they can be used several different ways. Each sheet practices counting on dice to either add, subtract or multiply, asks you to draw the dots or write the number and then tally the answer. The last few sheets focus specifically on Greater than, less than and equal to using bugs, numbers and tally marks. Click on my freebies page to get all ten worksheets! I hope you enjoy them. These sheets were created as part of my Bugs-Math-and-Literacy-unit-110-pages-of-centers-and-worksheets on TpT, check it out for more great printables, centers, activities and worksheets. Enjoy!
