Sixth graders discuss and identify shapes, spaces, colors, patterns, or tesserae in mosaics and compare them to cultural symbols of the Roman Empire. They design and create mosaics using paper.

Second graders Make, name and describe, using their own language and the language of geometry, everyday shapes and objects. They create and talk about geometric patterns which repeat (show translation), or which have rotational or...

In this -oat word family worksheet, 1st graders will cut and glue letter tiles to spell an -oat family word to match a picture. Then students will add the value of each tile to find the sum of the word.

In this -oom word family worksheet, 1st graders will cut and glue letter tiles to spell an -oom family word to match a picture. Then students will add the value of each tile to find the sum of the word, like in Scrabble.

Long and short vowels have never been quite so colorful! Learners use an intricate key to color a grid of words based on the vowel sound they hear. Red is the long a sound, light blue is the short u sound, etc. By the time they've...

Explore words by building and decoding three-letter words. Real or nonsense words can be formed with the alphabet tiles. Practice fluency and blending sounds with CVC patterns.

Use letter boxes and letter tiles (d,a,y,l,p,w,k,f,r,i,t,s,b,c,I) to help your class distinguish between the sounds for short vowel a and long vowel a. They are introduced to the vowel patterns that comprise long vowel sounds, with a...
