First Grade Common Core Language Standards - Part TWO!

SO happy to announce that part two of my Common Core Language pack for first grade is FINITO!

I have worked so hard on this bad boy and I wanted to highlight a few of the activities inside:

Meet the Capitalizing Crew! This is a fun spin on learning all about capitalization. Carly, Chris, and Chloe will help your students practice beginning capitalization, capitalization of names, and capitalization in dates. There are a few fun activities to use with this crew and some printable practice pages.

Roll, Spell, and Cover! This game is already in use in my classroom and my kids are loving it. This helps my kids sound out words phonetically drawing on what they've learned so far this year. Students roll a die, find a word that corresponds, spell it and cover! There is a short vowel board, a long vowel board, and a digraphs board.

Be a Wordsmith! The second half of this pack is all about vocabulary! I encourage my students to become wordsmiths and not only find and define interesting new words, but to use them as often as possible!

Categories: Students spin the spinner and sort words into different categories based on their meaning. There are 3 different game boards.

 Root word, Prefix, and Suffix anchor charts!

 After learning all about prefixes and suffixes, students make numerous little flip books and create sentences with each word.

 List it: Students practice using commas correctly with this activity! Students will pull a picture card and create a detailed sentence using the three items in the picture.

 Multiple meaning match-ups! Students dive deeper into vocabulary and match up these words with their two different meanings.

These are just a few of many different activities in Part 2 of the pack!

Feel free to click any of the images in this post to check out more about the pack.

For those of you who don't already have Part 1, I bundled both parts together at a discounted price.

First Grade Common Core Language Activities and Printables!

If you follow my facebook fan page, then you know I have been working on this for a while!

I actually started this product in March, but with all the end of the year hoopla, I could never get around to finishing it - until now, that is!

I am proudly presenting:

 

The last two years, I struggled finding ideas, activities, and printables for ALL the Common Core language standards for 1st grade. There are a lot!

Piece by piece, I created activities, games, and practice pages for the first batch of language standards. This pack is already 128 pages jam-packed with ideas and it is only Part One of what will be a two part pack. There were just too many standards to put them all in one pack!

The standards I was able to include in this pack are:

L.1.1a - print uppercase and lowercase letters
L.1.1b - common, proper, and possessive nouns
L.1.1c - singular and plural nouns with matching verbs
L.1.1d - personal, possessive, and indefinite pronouns
L.1.1e - verb tense
L.1.1f - adjectives
L.1.1g - conjunctions
L.1.1h - determiners
L.1.1i - prepositions
L.1.1j - types of sentences (declarative, interrogative, imperative, exclamatory)

Here is a little peek at what's inside:

For each of the standards listed above, there are anchor chart, activities/games, printables, and extension activities for your students to learn and reinforce the language standards!

 

A closer look:

 A few verb games... 

**NOTE: the creativity must have been flowing when I came up with "The Verb Game"**

Picture cards are just a sampling of the charades center cards I use when learning what verbs are. "The Verb Game" is a board game that helps students practice using the correct verb tense.

 

 Connect Two!

I use this as a center activity to help students connect sentences using different conjunctions. They cut out the puzzle pieces and try to make as many sentences as they can that make sense!

Where's My Puppy?

After learning what prepositions are, students create this little book about a lost puppy! They must write a simple sentence using a prepositional word or phrase to describe where the puppy is!

Those are just 3 of many, many games & activities included in the pack.

 

I am putting this pack on SALE through Tuesday, so feel free to snatch it up in my TPT store:
