I wanted to create a phonics sorting activity that was paperless.  So I created the mat backgrounds that don’t move and then found developmental sequence for speech sounds for early, mid and late emerging speech sounds.  I created the blank slides first and then populated the slides with 4 -6 pictures of each comparing sound.  Each slide compares 2 speech sounds.  I have my students say the picture name out loud and try to hear that first sound and then move that picture under the correct letter. I created this activity to do with my bookbuddies but as I discovered my students wanted to do it outside of the bookbuddies so I would assign a few slides on my Google classroom each tech/center time.

I find syllables are very tricky to teach the Grade Primaries.  I used to teach syllables by clapping them out but I know like to teach syllables by having my students place their hand under their chin and then say the word.  Each time their mouth goes down, it is counted as one syllable.  I created a few worksheets for my students to practice counting syllables and then I created some Google slides.  I assigned those slides to our Google classroom and the kids grabbed the assignment and continued their syllable work.  It actually reinforced the worksheets and I discovered this group of students really took to putting their hand under their chins.

I have tablets in my classroom but I also have a few Chromebooks and have been getting my little primary students on them and I am finding they are really enjoying them and at times would rather go on the Chromebooks than the tablets.  So I have started to create a few activities for my students.   One of the activities they love and were asking for were more word searches.  I had some at Christmas time on paper and the class loved them. BUT all schools have a paper budget and I didn't want to print out word searches galore.  I know I could print and laminate word searches but that still means more paper and then more laminate. I knew I could use Google Sheets to create word searches.  And my students love them.  I have put 10 puzzles within one Google Sheet so the students are going to many Google Sheets.  The students just have to click on the next tab to get to the next puzzle.  I didn't want to overwhelm my students so I made each pu...

I realize I am slow on the ball when it comes to creating activities that incorporate technology such as powerpoints or google slides in my classroom.  However, when I create activities I take my time and really think how a specific activity would be useful in my classroom.   My students love trying to figure out scrambled sight words so that's what I have chosen to create for my centres this upcoming year but committing to trying to use less paper in my classroom.  I can do this by creating PowerPoints and/or Google slides with the scrambled words for the students to look at and just have recording sheets.   So I have created a new Pre-Primer Sight Word Scrambled PowerPoint & Google slides Activity.   You can find this activity in my TPT store at the following link: Pre-Primer Sight Word Scrambled PowerPoint & Google Slides Activity I will be making the same activities for Primer, Gr. 1 and Gr....

I am currently going through my TPT products and seeing which ones I can update using Google Suite for Education.  I came across my Book Buddy package and was actually excited to update this one.  I took all the assessments sheets in this package and put them into Google Forms and some Google Slides. I'm excited to create a Google Classroom this upcoming year for my Book Buddies and have the older students use these forms with my little primaries.   You can find my Book Buddy Package in my TPT store at the following link: Book Buddy Package Enjoy!
