Veteran’s Day and Day 2 of Celebrations

Today, we learned about Veteran’s Day. I am a proud American and I love to share that with my students. At our school, we have several teachers and staff members who are Veterans. We did our Scholastic News and learned what a Veteran is.We watched a short video that talked about Veteran’s Day (and Memorial Day).

We colored these adorable Army Veterans and Flag pictures. You can download the pictures FREE HERE.

We put it together to make a quilt. I just might leave this hanging up all year.

In honor of Veteran’s Day, I linked up with Sassy, Savvy, Simple for a Veteran’s Day Sale. Everything in my store is 20% off TODAY ONLY.

Are you looking for a fun way to practice heart words? Get your heart word cards and this snapping alligator from Amazon or Target. No, it doesnt hurt when it bites, but yes, your kids might be scared the first time. The top teeth are rubber and it does not hurt..❤️ Students read the word card❤️ Push down on the tooth❤️ See if it "bites" you. If it bites you, you win..I love to add this game in during the last 5 minutes of my intervention group. It is a great way to work on fluency Practice. Do you want more game ideas?

I often get asked about I teach "heart words," "sight word," "tricky words" whatever you want to call them. I teach them through direct instruction and independent practice. Students need to be directly taught why they are tricky. We know that most words are decorate, once you know all the rules. BUT, and this is a BIG BUT, if they haven't learned the rule for that sounds, that is tricky until you directly teach it. Like is a tricky words if you haven't taught silent e. The is a tricky sound of you haven't taught it. I made these sight word mats to grow with your students. You can teach it tricky and then, later show students how they can decode it. If you want to the link to these best selling mats, let me know in the comments. ... See MoreSee Less
