Capitalization and Punctuation Practice Pages

My Capitalization and Punctuation Practice Page packet has become one of my top sellers lately. I am so encouraged by this because I think that providing students with basic foundational writing skills (capitalization and punctuation) is so important. 

In the primary grades, we don't necessarily want to bog students down with the mechanics, we want them writing, but at the same time, we can't ignore them. This is why we often have students go back and edit their drafts. The problem in the primary grades is that students don't necessarily have the foundational skills to do this. This is why I think that providing them practice in isolation is so important. It allows them to build skills that I hope will carry over to their writing. 

Anyways, I just wanted to share this packet with you. It is an 8 page packet that can be purchased from my TpT Store if you are interested.

Coffee Filter Snowflakes

Have you ever made coffee filter snowflakes in the classroom, or even at home? So fun! Yes, it is a bit messy with all the paper pieces, but it is worth it. I love to see the creative display as my students, and even my grandkids, work to make their beautiful and unique snowflakes. 

Coffee filters are really not expensive at all, especially if you buy them at the Dollar Store, or 99 Cent Store. You get about 100 - 150 in a pack. This is good because students can make as many as they want without it costing a fortune. Also, if they don't like the one they made, it doesn't matter because they can make another one.

Coffee filter snowflakes are easy to make. It is really just about folding and cutting them. Each fold and cut produces a completely different looking snowflake.

Here is a video that shows how to make the coffee filter snowflakes. 

Making snowflakes is a great addition as you teach about winter. I like to display them around the classroom for everyone to enjoy. As you teach about winter you might be interested in a couple of other resources. You can click on the links to learn more.
