Welcome to Mrs.Albert's Class!

Guys! This is an amazing resource...and it's FREE! This year, I had a group of kiddos that were having difficulty with vowel diagraphs or long vowel sounds other than the "cvcv" pattern. Every time they heard a word with long vowel sound (i.e. coat) they always wanted to add the "silent/sneaky e" to the end of it (cote).  I wanted them to be exposed to the other vowel teams that are out there, so I created these activities. I use some of these activities as early finishers or for station work. I do have some sheets with "sneaky e" in the pack, because I have a range of students in my classroom.  I hope this resource helps you! Please follow me on Instagram  . You can get my word pattern bundle here!

My school has a beautiful and historic Church. There is so much imagery in the Church. Our priest LOVES to ask the children questions about the stained glass or statues. Each week he gives the kiddos H.W. (well let's be honest, he gives the teachers H.W.). Before Christmas break he wanted the kids to become familiar with the different apparitions of Mary. He gave them three specifically, Our Lady of Lourdes, Our Lady of Gaudalupe, and Our Lady of Czestochowa.  Teaching this concept to first and second graders can be pretty abstract. But again, I was determined to have my kiddos prepped and ready! I made another easy book (similar to my Joyful Mysteries book). The clipart is just from google, it is not my own. Again, just cut the pages and staple them together for a nice little book. On each page is the title, a very short blurb, and an image of each apparition.  While we went through each page, I had pictures of each image displayed on the board. We talked about the...

During Advent, our parish priest wanted the students to learn about the Joyful mysteries. Since, I have younger students I new the best way to get this done was through a visual aide. I made a very simple book for them. On each page is the Mystery with a very brief description. Using my smartboard I projected an image of each mystery on the board for the students to see. We did 1-2 mysteries a day, depending on the time. The students then illustrated their own drawing of the mystery.  First, cut out the book. If your students are older, you could have them do this. I arranged my pages in the order that the mysteries are prayed. Then place three staples on the edge! Poof! You have a little mystery book.  After using this book and reviewing each day, my students were ready to answer all of Father's questions at Mass! I was very proud of them.
