Vowel or Consonant

Hey all! I hope everyone is having a fantastic summer. Mine is flying by. Why does the school year go soooo slow and the summer soooo fast? I have a bazillion things I want to get done before school starts but I also want to just sit back and do absolutely NOTHING!
I'm thinking about the beginning of the school year and made a little vowel consonant sort to share. The graphics are from KPM Doodles and Scrappin Doodles. Check out my side bar for a linky to their shops!

It has a picture for each letter of the alphabet. You can do it a couple of different ways with your class. You could give each kiddo a picture card and sort the letters together into groups of vowels or consonants in a pocket chart. Or you could place the cards around the room and do a 'Hunt the Room' where the students record the letters on a recording sheet. You can also put the cards in a center for extra practice. I also made a paper worksheet sort to go along with it. I hope it is something you can use in your classroom.

Don't forget to head over to Beth Ann's blog to enter to win the BIG Giveaway. I'm giving away some of my packets!

Have an awesome day!

Long and Short A FREEBIE

I've been working on some new vowel packets. I just uploaded my long and short A packet. It was a lot of fun to make. It takes about 2 weeks to teach. I start by introducing short A then long A and finally putting both sounds together. It goes along with the CCCS for Kindergarten, First, and Second Grades. It's 11 different activities of FUN!

You can check it out at my TpT shop or Teachers Notebook shop by clicking the words.
And of course you can get a sample FREEBIE from the packet by clicking the picture below to download a PDF copy.

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. I'm off to celebrate my mom's 80th birthday with ALL the family!
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you found something you can use in your classroom!

Vowel Songs

I'm VERY EXCITED!

I finally bought this

I've had a very, very small one. A parent gave it to me years ago. I do soooo much laminating! So I decided I'd buy a bigger one. I think I got a pretty good deal on it. Wal-Mart has them for $27.95. Then I found this on Amazon. It's the pouches.

It's not the brand name but they got really good reviews and are much cheaper. Has any one used this brand? Does anyone prefer 3Mil to 5 Mil (thickness)? I've got to start printing all the great ideas I've been collecting from Pinterest so I can try it out!

I've been working on vowels for the beginning of the school year and I ran across this cute little Old MacDonald Song. I had some songs for the short vowels but this one I was able to add the long vowels as well. You sing the vowel sound, long or short, where the AA or OO are. I fancied it up with some cute graphics from KPM Doodles and Scrappin Doodles. You can click my sidebar for a link to their websites. I'd love to give credit to the original person who came up with the idea so if anyone knows who started this cute little song let me know. You can grab a copy if you'd like. Just click on the picture. There is a page for each vowel- long and short together.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great rest of the week.
