Presidential Predicates and Their Loyal Subjects!

Don't you just LOVE the play on words!?!  Only another teacher can appreciate that corny expression :)  I plan on using this as a file folder activity.  There are two mats: one for George Washington and the other for Abraham Lincoln.  Print these on card stock and laminate them for durability.
Next, there are cards with predicates on them.  These are facts about each of the presidents.  Cut and laminate these as well.  Make sure you shuffle them well.  Then students will select a card and read the predicate to decide which president is the subject.  This is a great time to review verbs of being as well.  I plan on using this as a closure after our read alouds about the presidents and other activities.  I hope you can utilize this in your classroom :)  Stop by and let me know if you use it...I'd love to hear from you!

LOTS of FREEBIES!

Happy Sunday everyone!  We got some snow here and I have to admit it was the perfect Sunday for staying in my pajamas :)  I had an opportunity to do one of my favorite things (yes, I am addicted): PIN on Pinterest!  Well, as I was pinning I looked back at my blog and realized that I didn't have my OWN freebies posted here!  So, I want to let you all know about some great freebies that are on my TpT Store :)  The first one is Groundhog Grammar.  This is a four page document with twelve Groundhog Day related words on the front. Students determine if each word is a common noun or a proper noun and sort them correctly while capitalizing proper nouns as needed. Next, students alphabetize all twelve words. Last, students sort the words according to the number of syllables each has.  Just click on the picture to grab that one!
The next one is another Groundhog Day freebie!  This one has been downloaded the most:  It is a Groundhog Day Packet that is four pages and contains a word search, tally worksheet with questions, a reading comprehension passage and a page with fact or opinion statements.  Just click on the picture to grab that one too!
And yes, there is still MORE Groundhog fun at my TpT store!  The last one Groundhog Contractions:  A ten page file that can be printed on card stock and laminated if you desire. There are word pairs that need to be matched to their corresponding contraction. Word pairs have a groundhog depicting spring, while their corresponding contractions depict a winter groundhog. Can be used for "I have...who has?" game or can be used as a center during word work time. There is a recording sheet included as well.  Grab that one by clicking on the picture as well :)
If you have not already downloaded my FREE Groundhog Grub treat bag topper...definitely go and get that.  This is just plain FUN!  You can even make up some Groundhog Grub bags for your colleagues too!
There are more FREEBIES at my store so please take a look around while you are there.  I also posted a great Valentine Math Center with a focus on regrouping and money!  This one is not free; it is $2.75.  If you decide to purchase and check it out please let me know how it works out for you in the classroom.  I would love to hear your feedback :)


Thanks everyone and have a GREAT week!
