Editing and Revising Practice with Real Facebook Profiles
Really bad Facebook statuses and profiles make me a little crazy, but they make excellent editing and revising exercises for students and are perfect for bell work. My students love when I give them these, sadly, very real Facebook statuses to work on. When I put them on the SmartBoard, they actually compete to have a turn to work on them in front of the class. They are fun, quick exercises and your students really will beg you for more of them!

Quarterly Word List handout
This is one of my FAVORITE activities I have created. I would assign this Word List once a quarter. Students would collect words in the following 4 categories: spelling, descriptive words, new vocabulary, and quotes/interesting facts.
I would emphasize that words should be tailored to them, but not too easy and not too hard/obscure. They should be common words that they will need to know/spell frequently. If they spelled words wrong, wrote words that were way too easy for their level, or left a

Students often want to take more than one turn to chance getting all of their cards taken away with the Lion Roared card! Once all of the cards are out, have students match the CVC word to the CVCe word! Try out the g

This is a terrific activity to use with your students. There are over 50 pictures each in English and Spanish for students to match to blends to make words. There really isn't a grade level attached to this because kids need phonics at all grade levels in order to read. The great thing about this is that if you lose one picture all you have to do is print out just that sheet. Laminate the directions (icon driven for those students who have difficulty reading) and you're ready to go! All Spa

A spelling lexicon is an outline of 12 different activities that students can do with each spelling word. I have a class set of this sheet printed on cardstock and laminated, then each student uses their lexicon to study the weeks spelling words. It is quite involved, so we do all 12 activities for 5 words a day. My spelling scores have improved since implementing this activity.
