FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON - “-AT Word Family - 7 Minute Whiteboard Video Word Families Onset Rimes Rhyming”

by The Primary Techie
Kindergarten - 1st Grade


Have you ever felt overwhelmed and just needed a minute to catch your breath? Have you ever wondered how you could keep your class busy while you worked one-on-one with a student or small group? I know I have and that's why I created 7 Minute Whiteboard Videos. They are ZERO prep! No copies! No early finishers! No grading! The best part is, kids LOVE them!

These videos offer a quick, no-prep review that your students are going to love! Each student needs a whiteboard, marker, and eraser.

This free video lets you try out Word Families. Students will hear a word and see a picture as they write the word on their dry erase board. After a brief time, the word appears and is spelled aloud as students check their own work. They circle the word family ending and erase their boards before practicing another word. After five words in the word family, they write the word family ending and switch the beginning sound several times. Each video is approximately 7 minutes long. These are wonderful for transitions or as a warm-up before your lesson.

Due to the large file size of videos, this download is a pdf file with a link the the videos on Google Drive. These are sure to become a class favorite.

Each video is approximately 7 minutes long. These are terrific for transitions or as a warm-up for your lesson.

FREE MISC. LESSON - “Free Christmas Edition 1st Grade Morning Work | Math & ELA Spiral Review 1st Gr”

by Primary Teachspiration
1st Grade


This Christmas Edition of 1st Grade Morning Work is a week-long free sample of my First Grade Morning Work yearlong bundle. It includes both English Language Arts and math. Every problem is coded with its Common Core State Standard. It has a complete answer key!

This one week of CCSS morning work is great to use during the final week before winter break or any time during the holiday season! It is a sample of my yearlong units as described below.

You can assign the TpT digital pages to your students through Google Classroom via TpT’s Easel Activities.   Once the student accesses the link through Google Classroom, they can complete, turn in, and receive Teacher feedback on the TpT platform.

Let your first graders' morning work, whether printable or digital, actually work for them to master essential Common Core English Language Arts and Math skills by the end of the year through continual daily review. This strategy always produced amazing results with my students, because they didn't forget what they had learned.

Common Core State Standards covered include:

*ELA - L.1.1, L.1.2

*Math - All Grade 1 Standards as the year progresses

The Language Arts Daily Edit portion of each printable provides two sentences to be edited (using editing marks) and then rewritten correctly as edited. It is more than just a simple "Fix the Sentence" activity. The sentences are designed to practice and spiral review the ELA Common Core Standards of editing, grammar usage, capitalization, punctuation, and spelling patterns. The comprehensive daily editing increases in difficulty and becomes

second-nature over time, which helps to strengthen writing abilities in all areas. The sentences are aligned with the READING STREET reading series units, but can be used effectively with any first grade language arts program.

The Math Review portion is designed to practice and spiral review ALL First Grade Common Core Standards in a repetitive format that increases in difficulty over time, including 5 addition and/or subtraction facts on every page.

---------------------------------------

This Freebie is a one week sample of my yearlong units.

Included are:

*5 1st Grade Morning Work practice pages

*Answer Key

*Resource Background

*How To Use 1st Grade Common Core Morning Work

*Editing Marks poster -will serve as a constant reference for

students; can be copied for each student, posted in the class-

room or center, or projected as a transparency.
