This resource contains Essential Spelling Lists 1-7 for New Zealand Students. Each spelling word search contains 10 random words from the same list for your students to find. These Essential Spelling List word searches are prefect to supplement your spelling program either in class or sent home with the student’s homework. The word searches are in a 10 x 10 grid and on A4 sized paper. I have done this so that they are easy to use for little hands, but I have designed them to be shrunken down to A5 size as well if you wish

Everyone has an opinion. Help your students develop theirs with these Would You Rather cards. I have have included a recording sheet so that it encourages students to think about both sides to an argument, write which side they believe in, and share it with others. I have used them, both, as a class activity and for early finishers. The students simply choose a card and grab a pre-printed recording sheet and off they go. It makes the perfect addition to your Daily 5 work, and reading and writing centers. There are 40 cards to choose from. I simply print them off, laminate, and cut them to size. I have also included 2 versions of the task cards to choose from. First being an ink heavy version and the second a version that is more printer friendly.

This American Sign Language poster is the perfect reference point for both yourself and the class to begin learning sign language or reinforce what what you have taught. There are 4 different vibrantly colored posters to choose from, alongside a black and white version that you could print onto colored paper. This poster is a large 17" x 11" which makes it easier to shrink down to other paper sizes

Students love Escape Rooms and Rugby. Combine them and it is a hit. Capture their imaginations with this rugby themed escape room specifically designed with the Rugby World Cup in mind. Students will read and learn about the origins of rugby, how to play, information on the cup, and its 2019 host Japan. After reading the material, students need to solve 5 puzzles based around each section of text in an escape room style format. This is also a fun way to develop and practice reading comprehension. For those of you knew to escape rooms, instructions are given on how to set up and deliver this program. There is very little preparation to be done, but basically some printing, cutting and laminating which should take less than 20 minutes. On the day, all you need to do is group the students and scatter the the texts and clues around the room, then sit back back and watch the students have a blast. In 2019, there are 20 countries participating including; Ireland, Scotland, Russia, Samoa, New Zealand, South Africa, Italy, Namibia, Canada, England, France, Argentina, USA, Tonga, Australia, Wales, Georgia, Fiji, Uruguay and the host country Japan. So whether you an an All Black, Wallaby, or a Springbok come and enjoy the fun.

Back to School Amazing Mazes included Summer Amazing Mazes included Winter Amazing Mazes included 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). Included in this bundle are templates for your students to extend themselves by creating and sharing their own mazes with each other. This is one of my classes favorite things to do. This Bundle contains 60 A4 sized mazes and their solutions 30 x normal rectangular mazes 15 x circular mazes 15 x hexagonal maze Bonus square maze templates Bonus hexagonal maze templates Enjoy I know my class love them

These Reading Logs are perfect for your homework packet. In these reading logs, students can log their nightly reading and include a reflection for each day to show understanding and retell.

This provides an opportunity for all to leave a positive comment about the students progress during the week or a reminder of extra home from the teacher. Enjoy
