Figurative Language- Out of This World Idioms


Out Of This World Idioms

Work on figurative language with your students?  I love using idioms in therapy that are by a theme!  This is a great theme: outer space.  We use so many great idioms with an outer space theme, that I made match up cards along with some fill in the blank worksheets.

Reading Comprehension: Earth Day and Recycling with Marcus the Monster

Reading Comprehension: Earth Day and Recycling with Marcus the Monster


Reading Comprehension: Earth Day and Recycling with Marcus

Grab this CUTE story about Earth Day HERE!

Reading Comprehension – Marcus the Monster learns a lesson about EARTH DAY & RECYCLING 

This 13 page book is designed so that you can copy the book, cut it in half, staple, and then it is ready for use. The 13 pages consist of a title page with the remaining pages including a FUN story about Marcus the Monster, Kate, and Sam. Marcus the Monster learns the importance of recycling as your classroom students will also learn about recycling as they read and answer the questions relating to the story. The final page is a black and white picture of Marcus the monster for students to color.

All pages are shown in the preview. 

The story/questions are on a half sheet of paper. 

There are many uses for these stories/questions. This can be used in a kindergarten class with the teacher reading the story and questions to the students and having the students use invented spelling to write their answers. They can also be used for independent reading practice in first, second, or third grade by letting students read the short story, read the questions, and answer the questions even if they have to look back in the story to find and write the answer. 

These short stories are great for guided reading groups, homework, or literacy center activities.

I hope your students enjoy this story and questions.

How Do You Celebrate Birthdays At School?


I have been teaching long enough to remember the days when a child's birthday in my classroom involved gigantic cakes, party games, treat bags for students, and huge interruptions to the day. I also remember when it swung all the way to only being allowed to give a no homework certificate at the end of the day.

Recently 2 of my children celebrated their birthdays at school. The rules were no cupcakes or candy. We sent in fruit cups which are more expensive than the cupcakes, but at least they were able to bring something in. I honestly think that my kids are more excited to bring a fruit cup to school to celebrate their birthdays than they are about their birthday parties. Which is why I wanted to share with you how I handle these important days in my classroom.  << read on>>
