This resource contains 30 different task cards. There are 6 task cards per vowel - a,e,i,o,u. Each task card contains an image and 3 boxes below for students to either write in or to place magnetic letters/foam letters.
I highly recommend cutting each task card out individually and laminating so that they will be stronger and longer lasting.
Using magnetic or foam letters is a great way to make an activity more interactive and enjoyable for your students. I recommend purchasing some letters from a local store or on Amazon for this activity.
You can either leave letters out on a table or make the activity even more fun by hiding the letters in sensory trays and/or using fishing rods to catch the magnetic letters.
Great fun to help students practice their CVC words.
Comes in colour or black and white option for ink friendly printing.
Contains 15 pages.

This resource contains a Good Afternoon Work Book / Greeting Book that is a great activity to use on a daily basis with your student(s). This book will help students to settle down and get ready to focus for their afternoon work. Many students may struggle with the transition in the afternoons, especially after playtimes, so by providing this work book as anchor in their daily afternoon routine, it will help them to settle quicker.
It is individualised so each student can have their own copy.
The document comes as a keynote or powerpoint file.
You can add on different wording and add pictures of your student etc. but please note you will not be able to add/change/extract any form of clipart/imagery/text from this document. This is to protect our fabulous clip artists and myself as a teacher-seller.
This is a harder, newer version of my Good Afternoon greeting book. This one encourages students to be able to write their answers (you can also add text to it for them to overwrite if they are not yet at the level of independent writing) but continue to also choose symbols for the answer.
All symbols are also included at the back of the page, you will need to add some of your own, i.e pictures of staff etc
A walkthrough is also included to explain how to use the greeting book to it's best potential.
The questions that this greeting book ask are;
♦ my name
♦ how do I feel?
♦ where do I live?
♦ when is my birthday?
♦ how's the weather?
♦ what should I wear?

★ I jump out of bed and rush to my daddy, “Happy Father’s Day!” I shout. I jump onto his bed and hand him the mug that I bought him. On the bottom of his bed I hang the bunting of ties that I made. Daddy says he loves them, he picks me up into the air and puts me on his shoulders!
★ Me and my friends are talking about what we love about our dads. I love it when my dad carries me on his shoulders, Dave loves when his dad cooks a bbq. Alicia loves when she can just spend time with her dad, and Alice loves watching her dad rock her baby sister to sleep.
★ Today I’m at a pool party. When I arrive, I run straight for the water slide, and slide all the way down! I can see Dave holding some water bombs, then he throws a green one at me, splashing all over me. I hurry and pick up a red water bomb to throw back.
★ Me and my grandma have been making a summer to do list. First, we are going to go camping. Then, we are going to drive all the way down to the beach so I can go surfing! Then, finally, we are going to go to a hotel and relax in the sun.
★ My teacher asked me to name 4 things that remind me of Summer. I said the ocean is 1st, because we always go to the beach in the Summer. Then, a crab, because we try to find them at the beach. Then, there’s ice cream - the best cold treat! And, finally, of course, the sun!
★ It’s the first day of Summer, so dad is cooking us a bbq. First, I have to put the table cloth on our table, then dad starts to put food on the bbq to cook. I put on a special apron and hat so that I can be dad’s assistant chef. Finally, once the food is all cooked, I get to eat a cheeseburger!
★ We’re going to the beach today! Mom says I have to look for the beach sign, then we know we have arrived! When we arrive, I look up to see the sun shining, it’s very bright and hot! Mom puts an umbrella in the sand so we have some shade. Then, she helps to bury me under all the sand!
