It's that time of the year again. TEST TIME. As my teachers prepare their
students for the state test, I try to reinforce what skills I can for them
during library classes. My upper grade students just finished a poetry unit.
Last year I created some mix and match cards on types of poetry to collaborate
with their ELA teacher. So I jazzed them up a bit for this year. Ok, I admit
the decision was based on TPT. I've been so inspired by all the cool finds on
TPT. I have to admit now I rate my own literacy games for cuteness and
effectiveness. So for me, TPT has made a positive impact on my library activities.
You can find my Poetry Mix and Match cards on TPT for free.
During Spring Break I had an encounter with bronchitis! Fun, NOT. Since I
didn't feel like doing any spring cleaning, I created my latest library center
game - Spine Sort for Non-fiction. I just posted it in my TPT store if you are
interested in a copy. It made a good addition to my Fiction and Easy spine
sorts I created back in the fall.
Knowing my love of TPT, I went to TPT for some ideas to help with skills
requested by my teachers. To help with
cause and effect I purchased
Cause and Effect Literacy Center by Klever Kiddos and I used
Cause and Effect Task cards from
Rachel Lynette. I just love her task cards. I think she has them for any topic.
I'm slowly purchasing all of them. To help with
sequencing I found
Yvonne Dixon's Jack and the Beanstalk Sequencing Activity. It's been a big hit.
Tonight after I finish blogging, it's back to TPT for word games. My 4 and
5th graders are struggling with synonyms and antonyms. Of course I'm going to
my favorite resource, TPT!!!
