Word Search Puzzles: Brain Stimulation With Fun

Word search puzzles are ideal to help students stimulate their brains and be able to recognize words and sequence of letters. They can also expand their vocabulary during workshop time in the literacy centers or as a game for phonics or reading. 

 

Each word search puzzle includes a different number of words that go across or down. Students have to copy a word that is the topic of the puzzle and then read, find and circle. They can also color the picture at the bottom that goes with the theme. 

 

The selection of topics include: animals, bathroom, classroom, desert, elephant, family, garage, house, ice cream, jungle, kitchen, lighthouse, music, nursery, ocean, party, queen, railroad, space, toys, umbrella, valentine, water, exotic, yard, and zoo.

Over 500 ready-to-print handwriting worksheets divided into 23 categories.

Great Science Project for the Classroom

I am linking to 2nd Grade Pad for her Mad Scientist Day and Falling into First.


 


 Today I was working with my first grade class on the physical properties of things: liquids, gasses and solids.

It was a lot of fun. Students where really engaged and came up with fabulous pictures. One student came to me saying, all serious, that he wanted to be a scientist. He wanted to invent a machine to make chocolate candy. What about that?

Today we are going to reflect on what we did today. It was an awesome activity.

See the ideas that they came up with.  What do you think of my class now?
