Welcome to Mrs.Albert's Class!

Here is a vowel pattern resource that I have created. The purpose of this activity is to expose students to other ways long vowel sounds can be made, other than the "sneaky e." This is the first year I have had first graders in my classroom. They tend to always default to"sneaky e" spelling when they hear a word that contains a long vowel. Therefore, I have created this activity to expose them over and over again to different types of spelling (in addition to the small group activities we do).  I am currently using these for one of my station rotations. You can read about my station rotations here . However, these could be sent home for homework or even used as an early finisher activity.  As I create more vowel sorts to this bundle, I will add the revised addition to the blog. Thank you for stopping by my blog! I hope this activity helps you! You can download the vowel pattern sort here !  I had a request for a cut and paste addition for kindergarten. It

Lent is almost here! Can you believe it? I wanted to share a door decoration with you all. I was inspired by Lacy over at Catholic Icing . She has pretty amazing ideas to help bring the faith into the classroom. Each year I usually use her interactive Lenten calendar coloring page. That can be found here . However, this year I decided to do something a little different! I made a life size model of it! Check out the picture: Each day of Lent, a student will shade in the square with purple. I also had my kiddos add pictures for  Palm Sunday,  Holy Thursday, and Good Friday. They drew Jesus riding in on a Donkey. One of them drew Jesus on the cross. We added palms around Palm Sunday.  They turned out really cute! The kids are really excited to begin the count down. I'm hoping this door decoration will help to keep the season on their mind.
