Spelling Supplement and The Lorax

I was given the opportunity to go to the Special Education Inclusion Conference in Indianapolis on Thursday and Friday.  It was a nice break from school and I walked away with numerous ideas for my classroom.  Not just ideas for special education students, but ALL learners.  I hope to get some of these ideas going in my classroom this week and to be able to share some of the strategies with you later on in the week.  For now, I just wanted to recap and show you a spelling supplement that I finally finished.

Last week, we read The Lorax.  {Really, who didn't though.}  After reading, we made these Lorax's.

Off to a completely new topic.  I have been wanting to put together a spelling supplement for our reading series forever!  Well, now that it's March, I finally got around to it.  Better late than never, right?  Plus, I can use it all next year!

This was created to use with the 1st grade Treasures reading series by Macmillan McGraw-Hill.  It includes the spelling list and four other pages to use with the spelling list.  I plan on using some of these in the classroom, but mainly for homework.  They would also work at a spelling station.
You can click on the picture above to download a free sample to see if it's something you would find useful in your classroom.  If you think it's something you could use in your classroom, check it out by clicking below.

This is the spelling test paper that we use each week, just in case you are wanting something new.  Just click the picture to download.

Now to catch up on my blogstalking.  I'm sure I've missed out on a lot in the last couple of days!
