One of my favorite sets of language flash cards is a list of interjections. It’s funny, because many of them we don’t often think of, but we use them fairly often. It’s sort of a lost part of speech, but they can pack in so much meaning into a syllable or two. Here are some examples you can download and print, as well as other sets of language flash cards. Take a look at these interjections and have your students practice one each day!
Aha, Aw, Bye, Boo, Bravo, Cheers, Darn, Eek, Gee, Good Grief, Hello, Hey, Huh?, Oh Dear, Oops, Ouch, Phew, Rats, Shucks, Shh, Thanks, Uh-Oh, Well, Whoa, Wow, Yeah, Yay, Yikes, Yippee, Yuck.

Language Flash Cards

The most important things that first year of school is knowing your numbers, your letters, maybe a few colors, and possibly how to write your name. That shoe-tying thing is somewhere in there as well. Sadly, a lot of kids come to school unable to identify or say their letters, so we’ve got to get them caught up. Do a series of pretests, assessments, and post tests to determine success and growing familiarity with letters. Our free resources will help!

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!

Phonics Worksheets

High frequency wordlists are amazing tools! I always liked to make a folder with clear sheet protectors for each of my students. In each sheet protector, I’d put a word list. You can then use a washable marker to star the ones they need to study when you do a mini-conference with each student. It’s a great tool to communicate with home, too! Parents know exactly which words to focus on for the week.
