Time to celebrate St. Patrick's Day! Today I wanted to share a few ideas and freebies.

Morning Work and Picture Word Charts
Students are practicing their cut and glue skills, they are coloring, using bingo daubers, tracing, sounding out sounds, matching and reading. It all happens within about five minutes. These worksheets are wonderful practice for little ones. It can be used for morning work, early finishers, or homework. Students can also use this handy picture word chart to complete their morning work. The word charts can be used to complete all pages in this resource. They can be cut and stored in a mini envelope or bag. Each morning work page has a separate word chart.
