Views From a Step Stool (Open Minds and Messy Hands)

Teacher Resource - File Folder Fun

 

Save this site! File Folder Fun is a terrific resource for teachers, and includes folder games for language arts, math, and science. I've also added the URL to the sidebar.

Recommended Site - Woo! Jr Kids Activities

Favorite this site on your computer! WOO! KIDS ACTIVITIES doesn't just have fan sites for kids, as well as craft ideas, party game ideas, coloring pages, and printables. It also has lesson plans for teachers, plus resources, worksheets, and tons of ideas!

I've also added it to the sidebar of this blog in case you want to come back later and give it a go.

Print Your Own Alphabet Flashcards

I can find all sorts of alphabet flashcards at the dollar store, but 99% of them have both the upper and lower case letters together. Most of my students can recognize the upper case letters, but have difficulty with the lower case ones.

Enter Worksheetworks dot com and Alphaflash. This website is fantastic! You can print out your own cards, in varying sizes and fonts, with just the upper, just the lower, or paired letters!

Since I save "gently used" colored cardstock (which has been printed on one side only), I can run off as many sets as I want. This allows me to have different colors for different purposes: ex: blue for a matching memory game, yellow for flashcarding, etc.

In case you lose it, I'm adding the site to the sidebar of this blog.

Free Printable Dice Maker

From this site (http://www.toolsforeducators.com/dice/) it says The free printable dice maker is a worksheet wizard that allows you to create dice with pictures, dice with text or printable dice with both images and text. (I've added this URL to my list over on the left-hand side of this blog.)
