The Real Easter Story is a two-in-one mini book (you get two copies per page) created with images that should appeal to young children. The sentences are simple, however, the vocabulary may pose a challenge to some. Therefore I would recommend that some assistance be given to students. This product comes in black and white only to facilitate easy printing and of course to allow students to color the pages themselves. The pages are set for double sided printing. I also included both a colored and a black and white version of the mini-book cover page for you.
Enjoy!

Letter Writing:
Are you looking for alphabet writing sheets, tracing mats and playdough learning mats? Well you have found just that! These writing sheets were created with versatility in mind.

All your kids will need to do is use the dots as a guide to begin writing each letter, getting as close as possible to the lines for uniformity.

Homophone Memory Sheets are a fantastic way to get your students to remember the spelling of confusing homophones. Research has shown that when students use drawings and illustrations with words they make meaningful associations thus facilitating easy recall. Let your kiddos draw their own pictures to remember the homophones. In the case of low imagery words that cannot be depicted students can either find their own unique way to remember the word or simple leave it blank. The trick is that the other word in the pair would help them to make that distinction in spelling. Students can compile the sheets and form their own homophone dictionary for future reference.
Included in this set is a blank template for adding more pairs to the set.
Sight Words
Sight Words: Did you ever wonder whether your chosen sight words were considered under the category Dolch, Fry or Fountas and Pinnell? Well here is a comparison table just for you.

TIPS: To ensure that every child has an opportunity and responsibility assign two students per job. This also encourages job-sharing or working together as a partnership. You can either designate the jobs to students, have them choose or apply for a position A good idea is to rotate the jobs either daily, weekly, or quarterly, it’s your choice. You can make the transitions easier by having a “training” session by the previous student to help the next student to do the job efficiently.
If you want your students to become responsible while building a community spirit, give them responsibilities. Classroom Jobs are a great way for students to take responsibility for their classroom.
