TWO FREEBIES: MLK and The Mitten

Are you looking for some FREE teacher resources for your January units? I have a couple of spanish packets that you might be able to use this month.

Martin Luther King Jr.

I have been creating some writing printables with an illustrated word bank to help beginning writers. I had not seen anything similar to this before and wanted a way to help ALL our students feel like successful writers. I have also been adding several versions of the writing activities to help teachers with differentiation in the classroom.

This MLK writing packet in Spanish follows that same format. I have added an illustrated word bank for beginning or struggling writers and also added other versions. I hope that you find this packet useful.

The Mitten

I also have an emergent reader for the story of THE MITTEN/ El mitón. Click on the picture below to find it on my Bilingual blog.

See you there!

FREE Halloween Printable

Halloween's right around the corner. Does your school allow you to use Halloween-related activities? If so, you might like this little freebie. Students will color the bat and identify the ABC pattern on the hat. Visit my blog to download this FREE printable.

                                     

Teaching the Five W's

Here's a quick blog post to share a fun way to teach the Five W's in Spanish.  I like to use a catchy song that students will remember easily. We also use hand motions that go along with the song. These  will help the kids remember the five questions that they must answer about the story. 

Hop on over to my blog to read more about it and to download this free visual.

FREE Back-to-School Printable

Self-portraits are commonly used on the first week of school in Pre-K and Kindergarten. We can gather a lot of information from this activity. Teachers who walk around the classroom, during this time, will be able to observe and get to know their students and their abilities.

What should I look for?

*Fine motor skills
*Student's attention to detail
*Pencil Grip
*Dominant Hand
*Spatial Relationships
*Following Directions

Books to read

I compiled a list of several books that you can read during the first week of school. Some of them lend themselves to this self-portrait activity. My favorite one is Leo, el retoño tardio.
