Tomorrow When the War Began by John Marsden Novel Study Review

Tomorrow When the War Began by John Marsden Novel Study Review

(0)
This fun and engaging review game is the perfect way to review the novel Tomorrow When the War Began. I typically put the class into small groups and ask a member of the group to choose a color and number. That is the question that they have to answer. If correct they get one point. Then I move to the next group. Alternatively the whole class answers and then we tally up the points to get a winner. I run it on an interactive whiteboard but would be equally successful on a projector, computer or TV screen. Alternatively it could be run for an individual student on their own device. When you start the game press the shuffle button to randomize the questions ensuring that no game is ever the same. This means that this Jeopardy game can be used multiple times with the one class as it is different every time. This is a PowerPoint Macro Show. To run the game double click the file and make sure you say "yes" to running macros. If you do not the questions will not shuffle correctly. I have tested on a PC but it should work on other devices. If this is your first time with Macros let me know by personal message and I am happy to answer all your questions. Enjoy

With beginning readers in mind, these initial sounds alphabet cards are perfect for young children learning their first words. They are ready to print. All that is required is to laminate them for extra strength. Personally I use card stock for even more durability. The students just use plastic letters or whatever you have lying around and match the initial sound with the appropriate picture. I also cut them into the 6 picture strips, but you could leave them on the A4 page giving each student 12 initial sounds to find, as opposed to 6. They are perfect for individual, buddy or group activity. Please remember to follow me Enjoy

Bridges and Tunnels Amazing Mazes Book One

(0)
This Pack contains 50 mind bending hard A4 sized mazes. They contain lots of bridges and tunnels that add an extra level of difficulty. Mazes help fine motor control. Mazes require your students to control their pencils through the maze without hitting the black lines. This means that they must take their time rather than rushing, in order to have greater success. Progress can be observed as your students bump into the black lines less and less as they gain greater control of their writing utensils. Students use fine motor control in order to produce correct letter formation and legible handwriting. Mazes are great for problem solving: Mazes help your students to work on their executive functioning skills, such as planning and brainstorming various strategies (e.g. starting from the beginning of the maze or working backwards from the end of maze). Enjoy I know my class love them, especially the challenges that this set brings

Wonders Word Wall Road to Reading Kindergarten Units 1-10

(0)
This set of words aligns with the Kindergarten Wonders Reading Program from unit 1 all the way through to unit 10. This makes the perfect wall display for your students, parents and substitute teachers see what they have learnt and their next steps in their journey. I have used the road to reading wall display in my classroom for years and am always amazed at the positive comments from jealous teachers from other rooms. I have included in this pack everything you need to get started including A4 and A3 roads, vehicles, trees and of course the houses. The houses come in 4 colors, personally I match each unit to a different color to differentiate them. But you could choose which ever color suits your room. Simply print the road types that you need for an unlimited design to fit any space and suit any room. Personally I laminate the houses and cars so that they last the year out or longer. I also attach double sided tape to the back of the cars so that the students can move the cars as they progress. They get such a sense of achievement when they do this. The rest I staple gun into the wall. Enjoy
