I'm delighted that you have taken the time to drop anchor here at my little teaching blog: Sailing Though 1st Grade! Oh, the places we will go! Enjoy the voyage.
I have created word banks and story paper packs for almost every month of the year. However... September and October are yet to be completed and posted. I had hoped to have the September pack done by the first of the month, but unfortunately I didn't even come close to meeting that goal. In fact I am still working on it. Since I have no idea when I will find the time to get it completed, I felt I needed to post at east one the word banks from the pack for my teacher friends out there who have been waiting oh so patiently with no word or progress from me... So here is your Johnny Appleseed FREEBIE. I hope it is not too late!
As promised, I finished my April-Themed Word Banks and Writing Paper by the end of the week. It is the biggest and best yet! With many themes that can be used throughout the year - not only in April.
This 42-page pdf file contains 10 different word banks with matching writing paper and bubble story maps. Also included in the pack is a syllable sort recording sheet and prewriting template. Word banks/themes feature:
1. Easter
2. At the Zoo
3. In the Wild
4. On the Farm
5. Earth Day
6. At the Library
7. Under the Ocean
8. In the Garden
9. The Perfect Pet
10. April Showers
Your student's work will not only improve with the help of the word banks, but will be ready to display as soon as they are finished! Adorable! The entire pack is available now in my TPT store.
Of course I also have a FREEBIE from the pack for my loyal blog followers. Get your April Showers word bank, bubble map, and story paper here.
