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.

There are nine words on each page. Students are asked to cut and glue the beginning sounds. These worksheets can be used for homework, review, or assessment.

There are fifteen sets with four pictures each. Students use magnet letters to place under the picture to show the beginning sounds. These sets can be laminated and used with dry erase markers. They are not themed cards so they can be used throughout the year as review.

It is an acrostic poem about a leprechaun who is trapped. He is panicking at first then decides he is going to figure out how to escape. Students can create their own poem after reading and answering questions about the poem. There are also student doodle note pages for discussing how to write an acrostic poem.
