Word Family Workbook {Update!}

In preparation for next school year, I have added a few more word families to my Word Family Workbook. I've added a few new ones: -aw, -ix, -oke, -one, -ad, -am, -ill, -ent, -tch, th, ch, sh, wh, and ph. So, if you already own this product, be sure to re-download it in your TpT dashboard. 

My goal is to have these books ready for next year... before this year is over! :)

Here is a list of all the word families available in this packet:

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! This is by far my favorite sale of the year, because it means that summer is right around the corner! I also get to save on all the items I want to use in my classroom next year (I like to work on classroom projects over the summer... I know, I'm crazy...)

While all this focus is on summer, don't forget about spring! I have been using these plant activities in my classroom over the last few weeks and my students are having a BLAST!

You can also stock up on your Back-to-School activities for next year!

(Only if you are crazy like me and you like to spend your summer doing school stuff!)

Gearing up for the test! {FREEBIE!}

My students start taking their end-of-level test next week (EEK!). Since the rest of you are either testing already or getting ready to test, I thought I would share a few things...

1. I will make (or buy) some "Smart Cookies" to remind my students how SMART they are!

2. Doesn't everyone need a SHHHH... sign?  It helps keep unwanted visitors out during testing time.

3. And last but not least, I will sent this note home with my kids the night before our first test.

I am also loving Hope's testing treats! I'm going to make a few for my class and then I think I'll have them give a little treat and note to their 6th grade buddies. Click on the image to check it out!

I recently came across this awesome website called Teach Train Love on Pinterest. The author is a first grade teacher and she has an awesome list of brain break clips.  (And they are all on SafeShare.TV not YouTube - Bonus!) Click on the images to check out all the videos.

    

My favorite is the Dinosaur Stomp Video and I can't wait to show it to my kids!

How do you prepare for end-of-level testing in your classroom?
