** Fishing for Multiple Meanings** is the perfect addition to your literacy centers for both word work and writing focus. This handy set of 135 dual picture cards can be used to spark sentence writing and for your Homonyms | Homographs | Multiple Meaning Words unit. These words represent some of the many common words that can be used in different context. With multiple meaning words the spelling is the same and pronunciation are the same. However, some pronunciations may vary slightly. I included two graphic organizers for extended writing purposes.

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.

Classroom Rules. It is always a good idea to set your class on the right path from day one. It is also a good idea to create the rules with your students. However, I want to share some baseline rules that I believe can transcend any classroom simply because they collectively spell out most of what teachers would want for their classrooms. The following rules are contained in this set:- We enter our classroom quietly and all lined up. We leave our classroom quietly and all lined up. We listen when others are talking, especially our teacher. We look carefully and follow the directions of our teacher. We use a quiet voice and tone. We only speak louder when presenting. We are kind and respectful to our teachers and to each other. We help keep our classroom clean and tidy at all times.. We always keep our hands and feet to ourselves. We raise our hands when we have a question or when we need help. We share with our friends when they are in need. We work quietly at our desks and do not disturb our neighbors. We walk carefully in the classroom and hallway. We always greet our visitors with a smile when they enter our classroom. I am pretty sure that they cover a wide area. However, if you are in need of additions to this set, let me know through the question and answer tab below..
