Need a great vocabulary builder? It’s best to learn groups or categories of words at one time, because when we relate words to each other, we have a better chance to remember them. How about some flash cards on people, jobs, family members, or for articles of clothing? This would be a great practice piece for ESL/ELL students, too!

First grade and second grade, at least in Florida, have SAT 10 tests, which build toward FCAT tests in higher grades. Other states have some version of standardized testing, either for odd numbered grades, or for specific set grades. The common theme here, is that standardized testing is a necessary and unavoidable evil in today’s world. We’d be serving our students best by preparing them for testing that they will see for the next two decades of their lives if we started off well in 1st grade. Here are some printables to get you started on that path.

Blech! Is there anything worse to try to get students to do than write neatly, especially the boys? As a young boy, I remember I had just about the worst handwriting in class. Of course, we didn’t have these fancy worksheets. Get your students’ handwriting up to snuff with these activities, or they’ll have sloppy handwriting for the rest of their lives!

October is a great time to be doing Fall activities, unless you live in the southern hemisphere, anyway. Assuming you don’t, let’s kick this off with a first grade reading comprehension activity. Students in the south or in arid climates might find northern USA’s Fall season interesting. Similarly, those in the north might find the season of Fall pretty different in the south. This is a great time to pull in prior knowledge and maybe even have your own classroom fall festival!

Wouldn’t it be great if some of these worksheet websites not only sorted things by subject area, but also by grade level? Well, Have Fun Teaching has done that. They’ve got K-3 done, and 4-6 are forthcoming. Granted, not everything from the 100’s or 1000’s of worksheets on the site has been sorted yet, but it’s a good start. Not to mention, there are songs that go along with a lot of this material for you to attack your multiple intelligences in lesson planning!

So many vowel sounds, so little time… Why not make a vowel booklet for each vowel sound? Worksheets can form a good backbones of that booklet, along with word lists, illustrations, and other activities. This can be a great morning work, centers activity, or check for understanding too!

Have some more lyrically-inclined students or just need to work on some phonics skills? Rhyming can be a great way to pull some humor into your lessons, while meeting those required language standards. Rhyming can also be a great center activity. Have students try this worksheet, and then they could use some of the words to write quick, silly rhymes they can share with classmates.
