Let’s enhance our literacy skills through a fun activity. Grab a book, choose a character, and create a comic strip showcasing their best adventures. A great wait to practice adding dialogue and captions to students art pieces. @PJLanguageArts

Building anchor charts as a class then hanging them around your classroom is a great way to provide students with a source to reference when working on their own. @PJLanguageArts

I can write my NAME! Using different writing materials is an excellent way for students to build confidence in their writing skills. @PJLanguageArts Does anyone remember the first time they wrote their own name? ✍️ #EdChat

March 4th is The Paper Bag Princess day! After reading The Paper Bag Princess students can make their own paper bags and have their peers use descriptive words to lift up another student in the class! A great way to connect literature to real life scenarios!👸🏼📚 @PJLanguageArts

With Dr. Seuss day around the corner, this adorable sensory bin helps students improve their letter formation, and identification. Also helps student build their motor skills…super cute and festive! 📚 @PJLanguageArts

Phonics Baskets are a phenomenal way to get students comfortable with rehearsing their letter sounds. @PJLanguageArts

What an excellent literacy center activity for students working on building words and operating their motor skills. Students build words by picking different lettered marshmallow, how festive and fun!❄️ @PJLanguageArts

Wow what a spoonful of fun this activity is! Using different letter spoons students can see how many words they can create. A great way to work their motor skills and create different words!🔤 @PJLanguageArts

Making a “Best Day Ever” schedule for a writing assessment is an efficient way to get students engaged in their writing! Having students write about things they’re interested in helps them become more engaged and confident in their writing. @PJLanguageArts

With the winter weather hanging around Snowy Sight Words is excellent practice for students motor skills & sight words. This activity works by grabbing snowball words with a spoon & copying down the sight words, how fun is this activity for a literacy centre❄️ @PJLanguageArts

With spring around the corner this Is, Am, Are literacy and art cross curricular activity is a great way to practice students first, second and third person plurals🌸 @PJLanguageArts

A creative way to exercise students knowledge on common nouns and proper nouns is with Fry Nouns! An appealing way to practice for students🍟 @PJLanguageArts

Using lego blocks for practice on contraction words is a great way to make literacy more hands on and engaging for the students!🧱🔤 @PJLanguageArts

During placement I also encountered fun, creative ways to practice letter formation. One literacy centre used “cloud writing” where we used shaving cream on a baking sheet to practice tracing letters. The students loved the hands on aspect of the activity! @PJLanguageArts

@AmmoniteMiss looks like so much fun!! happy 100th day of school Miss Ammonite🥳💯

Happy 100th Day of School!! Today our students at Bright Child Montessori got to have a huge celebration for their accomplishment of going to school for 100 days! What a huge milestone! So proud of them all. We had such a blast! 💯 🎉

A seasonal winter letter formation activity. Student create the letters on the snowball in the “snow sensory bin” great practice and a fun way to learn! @PJLanguageArts

A creative way for students to practice letter formation, while also working with their fine motor skills, is using wax sticks to form letters, words, numbers, etc. This activity is great for a literacy centres or extra work! @PJLanguageArts

Roll and Read is an engaging way to practice students reading skills. Students see this activity more as a “challenge” and keeps them interested while also learning sight words! 🎲 @PJLanguageArts

Grammar Flip Books are a great learning tool. Classes can develop Flip Books together and each student can keep a copy at their desks. These books can help students improve their descriptive writing, while also working with their grammar skills. @PJLanguageArts

During my placement in 2/3 I was able to experience teaching Heggerty Phonemic lessons. Heggerty is taught daily to help students improve in their reading, writing & spelling skills! My placement students loved this program & were excited to participate each day. @PJLanguageArts
