Heart Map for Prewriting

I am not an artist.

We are just beginning our year, so I wanted to get my students thinking about what they can write about. So many times, I have to give them a prompt, but I do try to let them free write periodically. I wanted them to have something to pull from that was personal. 

I didn't want to give them a template. I wanted it to be unique to each student. I showed them my example and here are some of the results!

Classroom Freebies: Help for 'b' and 'd' Reversals

Well, I think that most of us are back to school again, and I have a couple of kids that still get those b's and d's reversed. I found this cute bed and decided to make a {poster} out of it. I even made a small version that I can stick on the name tags. Click the pic to head on over and get your set!
