Summer Worksheets for Kids

Wendy Piersall — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 14:04:05 +0000

My kids are well into the last days of school for the year – and that means that I’m going to have three months of finding ways to keep my kids busy all day, every day. We started a tradition last summer of taking a ‘field trip’ every Friday, but that meant they needed lots of stuff to do Mondays through Thursdays. This year I have a whole room set up for crafts and have been working hard on putting together tons of printable activities that I know my kids will enjoy. I hope yours will, too! These summer printables would make a great activity packet to send home with kids for summer vacation, or print out a bunch for your summer road trip!

Poems for Kids

Wendy Piersall — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 19:33:46 +0000

Over the last year I have put up over 36 kids poems written just for Classroom Jr. These printables have been some of the most popular content on the site. I am extremely proud of the quality, they are serious, funny, silly, educational, moving, and easy to use in the classroom.

I figured it would be a good idea to put up a post rounding up all our poetry for kids all in one place. This makes it easy to bookmark and come back for every season and holiday when you need a short poem for your students!

Dr. Seuss Activities and Lesson Plans

Wendy Piersall — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 15:37:42 +0000

I simply can’t imagine an early childhood classroom without the magic of Dr. Seuss! I read Hop on Pop as a child until the pages fell out of the book. They are SO GREAT for reading practice for my kids, because they are so easy, yet so much fun to read.

Theodor Seuss Geisel was a fascinating man that was famous for more than children’s books during his career. He was also a political cartoonist and advertising illustrator, and ironically enough, has never won a Caldecott Medal or Newbery Medal. To which I say, WTH?! We can celebrate his achievements ourselves by making March 2 a fun Dr. Seuss day – that was his birthday.

Halloween is almost here – and I bet my wisdom tooth that 4 out of 5 dentists would recommend handing out Halloween bookmarks instead of candy this year! Hmmm, maybe even 5 out of 5!

Printable Bookmarks for Teachers

Wendy Piersall — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 18:31:43 +0000

I promised a whole bunch of back to school printables this August – and here’s some more! Here are two sets of printable teacher bookmarks – one set perfect for back to school, another to use year-round as awards and incentives. Here’s a tip – for a cheapskate lamination trick, put clear contact paper from the dollar store over the top of these printable bookmarks before you cut them out.

Teacher Newsletter Templates

Wendy Piersall — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 21:01:58 +0000

These printable teacher newsletter templates took me forever to put together today – but I think they are worth it! There is a different design for every month of the school year – though the first template could really be used year-round. I’ve worked to make them generic as possible to accommodate a wide variety of uses, but I’d love to hear suggestions from you as to how these templates could be more useful for your classroom!

Just to be clear – these are printable newsletter templates for use with your photocopier. They are not “live” templates that you can type into – they are for handwritten newsletters only.

Printable Summer Bookmarks

Wendy Piersall — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 16:46:56 +0000

Sometimes it’s kind of a chore to get my kids to read over the summer. This year I’m tackling the issue on several fronts. I bought them all a ton of books from our neighborhood garage sale a few weeks ago. I’ve been letting them buy a few of their favorite titles to read on our iPad. And I’ve created a few printable reading incentives by putting together these reading logs and now these cute printable bookmarks!

To make these bookmarks last longer, print them on cardstock – using lamination sheets is even better! Make these into a fun summer craft by punching a hole in the top and adding an embroidery floss tassle with beads or charms!

Printable Reading Logs

Wendy Piersall — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 17:31:38 +0000

Summer is here! And I need all the help I can get to keep my kids reading over the next three months. So today I created a big collection of printable reading logs – you can track the number of books, number of minutes, or both with these fun themed printables for both boys and girls.

Here’s a tip I’ve found to get my kids to want to read more – get an Apple iPad or Kindle. Then watch them ask to read (and fight for their turn!) on the family ebook reader. It may be a little pricey, but now that I have an iPad, I can tell you they are totally worth it. Be sure to get the $2 buck math drills app, too (best $2 dollars I’ve ever spent)!!

Printable Graph Paper and Grid Paper

Wendy Piersall — Fri, 21 May 2010 13:54:49 +0000

My son made me a proud mama the other day when he specifically asked for grid paper so that he could practice his drawing. I have to admit I was impressed with his desire to be precise – if only he was that way about cleaning his room!

This set of printable graph papers come in inch increments at .25″, .5″, .75″, and 1″. There is also 1cm, 1.5cm and 2cm grid papers as well. There is also a 15 x 15 cell grid that is perfect to use to make your own word searches with your weekly vocabulary words.

Important Grid Paper Printing Instructions

If you require accurate grid measurements for your graph paper printouts, you must ensure that your printer is set to print at a full 100%. Some printers also default to your browser settings, so if you are having problems, check these as well.

This will likely mean that part of the page will be outside of the print area, and tell your printer to proceed anyway. Each printer is different, so I cannot give you exact instructions on how to achieve this with your particular setup. But in general, once you hit the ‘Click to Print’ button on the next page, you will have to go into your printer options to change the setting to 100%.

Most printers – and browsers – by default print pages at the setting ‘Shrink to Fit”, and this will not work.

.25 Inch Graph Paper	.5 Inch Graph Paper
.75 Inch Graph Paper	1 Inch Graph Paper
Blank 15 x 15 Grid Paper or Word Search Grid	1 cm Graph Paper
1.5 cm Graph Paper	2 cm Graph Paper
