Who doesn’t love free stuff!? ๐
*Don’t forget, if you’re looking for a link, it’s probably underlined and in bold!*
Today, I wanted to share a few things that I found on the internet that were free and good for my firsties! ๐
First, I’d like to start off with Mrs. Reed at Flying into First Grade. She has a ‘Spotlight on Sorts’ activity on her site that I’m going to use in centers with my students next week. Super simple, but…effective! ๐ Thanks for sharing Mrs. Reed! I am one of your newest followers! ๐

Next up, Author’s Purpose Mini-Posters from Mrs. Daina Roberts! These minis are just precious! ๐ The method of instruction for this is P-persuade, I-inform, E-entertain. Each mini has a definition and then an example of text that would fit the category. These are too cute to pass up! ๐ Thanks for sharing, Daina! ๐
I have my August/September Poetry Journal on my TPT page. My students LOVE journal time! ๐ They are getting so good at reading their poems! ๐ This is great for fluency building, and meets Common Core standards as well! ๐ With help from the teacher, the student will code the text each week for rhyming words, sight words, nouns and verbs. Check it out! ๐ I’ve gotten great feedback on this piece from my first grade teammates and plan on putting forth my October/November Journal poems very soon! ๐
