Several teachers have offered their talents to make the Sight Word Booklets easier to use with a wider range of students. Many thanks for their contributions and willingness to share with other educators!
Big Book Versions and Pocket Chart Pictures
Martha Shehan, a Kindergarten teacher in Colorado, shares how she uses the sight word booklets weekly in her classroom.
"I re-created them using the same Microsoft clip art so I can have a teacher version "big book" in color as I do a first read with the kids each week. I also used the clip art to make pictures for the pocket chart. I write each page (sentence by sentence) on sentence strips for the pocket chart. After the first reading, children take turns coming up and reading one sentence at a time in the pocket chart, then finding the picture to match. This is such a wonderful way to reinforce voice-print match, reading strategies (looking for the picture, re-reading and getting a running start, and getting their mouth ready by making the first sound of an unfamiliar word.) After a couple of days with this practice, I give them each their own copy - the ones from your site. This has brought such remarkable results with my readers. They are so confident - even the first month of school - using this method."
Martha has graciously agreed to share the Big Book Teacher Versions as well as the Pocket Chart Clipart. Thank you Martha for taking the time and effort to make and share these resources! Translations
A big thank you to all of our dedicated translators!
Spanish - An ESL teacher, translator, and frequent visitor to Hubbard's Cupboard, Marina Insausti, agreed to help translate some of the printable booklets into Spanish! Also, thanks to Rosa Caballero-Perez for voluntarily translating a few of the newer booklets into Spanish as well.

French - Two French teachers, Lise Perreault and Kathy Jones, have volunteered to translate some booklets into French as well.
Multimedia - Digital and Audio Booklets
German - A native born German, Tanja Bonaddio, who teaches a kindergarten Immersion class here in the United States contacted me regarding translating all of the booklets into German.

Janel Inderbitzen, a Californian of Portuguese descent, is a certified teacher and mother of 3. She recently joined the Portuguese Parent and Teacher Club created by Ana Cristina Sousa. One of the Club's main activities is sharing, creating and online publishing of Portuguese materials.

Waleska Batista and the Spanish teachers from Cherry Hill Public Schools have worked diligently on a project to create Quicktime movies and audio files of the books being read aloud. Wow! This was quite an undertaking and many, many thanks need to head their way. Thank you! Waleska suggests that the Quicktime movies can be downloaded to iPods or viewed on a screen. Also, the audio MP3s can be download, burned onto a CD, and possibly used at a listening center with the printed booklets in classrooms that don't have enough computers or iPods available.

The ravenous throng scampered toward the delectable viands, which the chef had impeccably arrayed on the table.

The extremely hungry crowd ran toward the delicious food, which the chef had extremely well organized (into rows) on the table.

Rewordify.com simplifies difficult English. Enter hard sentences (or whole chapters) into the yellow box at the top of the page. (You can also enter a web site URL.) Click Rewordify text and you'll instantly see an easier version, for fast understanding. The reworded words are highlighted- click them to hear and learn the original harder word. You can change how the highlighting works to match the way you learn!

Do you dislike dictionaries because they're confusing and unhelpful? You'll love Rewordify.com's clear, easy-to-understand definitions-they change to match the original word or phrase's part of speech, verb tense, and singular/plural form, so they make sense. Our amazing Rewordifying Engine is what makes it all possible, and no other web site has it.

Want to see something now? Click Classic Literature at the top and start reading-easier.

Learn more words faster. Our exclusive Learning Sessions actively teach you words so you learn them. Any time you paste in a block of text, our software finds all the hard words, lets you pick which ones you want to learn, and then teaches them to you in a Learning Session.

A Learning Session isn't an online quiz: it's an effective, step by step process where you hear words and phrases, type them, and read them. The software re-teaches you exactly what you need when you need it, and moves ahead when you're ready. When you've learned a word, the site stops "rewording" it, so the site grows with you as you learn! Learn more about Learning Sessions.

Learn the way you want-from what you want to read. You can change the way the site works to fit your learning style as you read and learn from almost any text passage or web page. See the different highlighting styles in the box? You can pick any of them, and lots more options. Click the Settings link (at the bottom of the page now, or at the top of any page) to see all the choices you have. (The demo text in the box here never changes.)

Chart your progress and have fun. You can keep track of your learning with lots of detailed charts that show how you're doing. Plus, as you use the site, you earn points and get Learning Stars -a fun reward for reading and learning!

Now you can easily get your students involved in their learning: let them select the text that interests them. Let them print and complete the activities with which they're most comfortable. Imagine each student learning vocabulary customized to his or her interests, while you have time to teach instead of typing. Could differentiation by interest or readiness be any easier? You can start doing it today, for free.

You never have to type another vocabulary list or quiz again.

Type (or copy-paste) in any block of text in the yellow box at the top of this page, click Rewordify text, and click the Print/Learning activities button. Here's how. You (or your students!) can select from a rich variety of quizzes and learning activities, with or without answer keys.

Worksheets and No Prep Teaching Resources

Graphic organizers are an essential tool for teachers to use in the classroom especially for reading, writing, and understanding concepts. Kids love being able to visualize new materials. The topic organizers (ranging from 3-8 topics) can be used for brainstorming and organizing everything from creative writing, to essays, to character development for stories. Pyramid charts and tree diagrams are best for demonstrating hierarchical relationships or for breaking down topics into their less important component parts. If you are looking for KWL charts, or variations thereof, this is the place to find them. Interesting, and perhaps unexpected, finds on this page include organizers drawn as a mouth with six teeth (that can be used as a topic organizer), a hand with (obviously) five fingers, and, for a fun change, a coat of arms that can be used for a wide array of exercises! The KWL/KWHL printables aid with lesson comprehension and information acquisition. Enjoy!

Graphic Organizers

What is a Graphic Organizer?
A graphic organizer (aka a map OR word web) is usually a one-page form with blank areas for the student to fill in with related ideas and information. Some organizers are very specific; others can be used with many topics. For the most part, the information on a graphic organizer could just as easily be filled in on a form or written as a list. The organizer gives the child another way to see the information. Some of the organizers allow for the information to be written or drawn, opening the activity up to younger grades.

EFFORTLESSLY BUILD ENGAGING INSTRUCTIONAL CONTENT, RIGHT FROM GOOGLE SLIDES

The fastest way to transform presentations into classroom conversations

Imagine if you could engage every student in your class, every day. What if you could instantly see who's confused and who's ready for more? That's the power of Pear Deck. And now, with the Pear Deck for Google Slides Add-on, you can add the magic of formative assessments and interactive questions to your presentations right from Google Slides.

Design brilliant slides & engage your class

Open up Google Slides & the Pear Deck sidebar

Design a new presentation or open an existing one in Slides. Just getting started with Google Slides? Upload your PowerPoint or Keynote lessons to Google Slides and get going!

DROP IN FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS

Our team of educators created a library of templates to support learning objectives typically found at the beginning, middle, and end of a class. Think: bell ringers, checks for understanding, exit tickets, and more. Simply drop in one of these templates for instant engagement and watch your class transform.

Create custom questions

You can always create your own custom activity or question from scratch. Use Text, Number Response, Multiple Choice, and Web Slide questions to engage students. Or upgrade to Pear Deck Premium to add Drawing and Draggable™ response types.

ADD AUDIO TO ANY SLIDE TYPE

With the Pear Deck Add-on, you can leave audio instructions, descriptions, or examples for your students to hear while they read the prompts and respond to Interactive Questions in your Pear Deck Slides presentations. Make a new recording instantly or upload one from your computer. The recordings you insert will play in the Student View of your live presentation Sessions, so it's perfect for any remote learning lesson!

Present with Pear Deck

Start your presentation and students will join your Session from any device with a web browser. As you advance your slides, students will be prompted to answer your questions! Students' answers can be displayed anonymously on the classroom projector, so instead of worrying about getting the right answer and feeling silly in front of peers, your students are putting ideas out there in a safe, anonymous way, discussing, and learning from each other.

GO DEEPER WITH THE tEACHER dASHBOARD

As an instructor, you can quickly see what each individual thinks on the Teacher Dashboard. Noticing a lot of wrong answers? Adapt! Take a pause, back up, re-explain. But don't forget to help the learners help each other: Why did some people choose this while others chose that? How can we find out the right answer? What else do we need to know?

INVITE TEACHERS TO YOUR SHARED tEACHER DASHBOARD

This feature enables teachers using Pear Deck Premium to share Session controls and valuable student insight with other designated educators, including student teachers, special educators, co-teachers, or even substitutes. With a real-time view of individual student work and the ability to guide and provide direct feedback, educators teaching together can better support the diverse needs of learners everywhere!

Using Videos, Animations and GIFs in your Pear Deck? Get ready to Power-up!

Want to show a video about the Mars Rover in your Pear Deck presentation? Need to carefully layer in information on a slide to reduce information overload? Found a perfect GIF of a plant emerging from its seed? If you want your videos, animations, and GIFs to play at full resolution when you present with Pear Deck, install the Power-Up Google Chrome extension.

The Power-Up is a free Google Chrome extension. Installing it ensures that videos, animation, and GIFs embedded in your Pear Deck slides play at full-resolution on the projector and student devices - exactly the way they should!

Install the Power-Up from the Chrome Web Store on the device you use in class. Now when you present with Pear Deck, the Power-Up magically enables the display of your videos, animations, and GIFs.

Chicken Little

A modern adaptation of the classic tale: What happens when a completely normal chicken believes everything he reads on the internet? This story is written in the present tense, because it's a good thing to learn.

The Bird and the Whale

Our first ever original story, about a bird and a whale and their shared love of little fish. Inspired by a song by Tom Waits, and an episode of Adventure Time.

The Three Little Pigs

The classic tale of shoddy building materials, DIY folly, and the perils of emparedados de tocino (a.k.a bacon sandwiches). No pigs or wolves were harmed in the making of this story.

Goldilocks and the Three Bears

Why you should probably lock your door when you go out for a walk, even if you live en medio de un gran bosque. Why are the three bowls of sopa different temperatures when they were poured at the same time? Science, is why.

Little Red Riding Hood

A deeply troubling investigation into what happens when you let your children walk somewhere alone: Caperucita Roja eats fresas, picks margaritas and talks to el Gran Lobo Feroz on the way to Grandma's house. (Warning: Contains highly improbable medical scenes.)

Teach Young Children Spanish with Salsa!

Salsa is Georgia Public Broadcasting's award-winning Spanish language series for young learners in kindergarten through the third grade. Puppets in familiar stories, digital graphics and animation teach the language.
Who Can Use Salsa?
Instructors do not need to be certified to teach a foreign language or be familiar with Spanish in order to use Salsa. It can be used in the classroom and homeschools and by anyone interested in teaching young kids to speak Spanish. Each video lesson is preceded by a staff development component that acquaints the instructor with the content and the objectives of the lesson, reviews all vocabulary words and demonstrates the correct pronunciation of all Spanish words included in the lesson.

For additional SALSA print resources with a scope and sequence guide, click here to visit the Wyoming Department of Education website.

With the current health situation world wide bringing school closure in some places, some teachers have been advised to come up with plans and ideas students can do at home. I have put together a list of online and printable resources that teachers can share with their students. As language teachers, we all know that these types of resources can't ever replace the value of personal interaction and contact time with students, but in this situation, these resources can certainly come in handy and continue exposure to the language. I included printable resources and recommend teachers to put them together in packets just in case students don't have internet access at home. All of these resources have access to free materials.

Stay healthy,

Understanding how school discipline policies can contribute to the school-to-prison pipeline is essential for educators and families. Harsh punishments, automatic out-of-class time and police involvement for discipline can push young people out of classrooms and into the criminal legal system. But educators, parents and caregivers can help to change this harmful system by advocating for and implementing practices that prioritize mental health and well-being.

We offer this new resource page that highlights LFJ articles and content to open dialogue, shift practices and foster change to benefit all young people.

Here are some tips for using Remind Chat to support online instruction.

***

1. Share files, links, and other instructional resources with your class.

From your devices

You can send documents and other files directly to your classes by adding an attachment to any message you compose. If you're using the app, you can take photos in real time or record voice clips. On desktop, you can drag and drop files into the Remind composer, including screenshots.

Students and parents who receive text notifications can access the file through a link in the message.

From the cloud

If you use Google Classroom, Google Drive, or Microsoft OneDrive to manage your instructional materials, you can connect these accounts to Remind. Once you add these accounts, you can access and attach content directly from the composer.

Other accounts you can connect directly to Remind include Box, Flipgrid, SignUp, SignUpGenius, and SurveyMonkey.

Here's what that looks like on desktop.

From other tools

For classrooms moving to video instruction with videoconferencing tools like Zoom or Google Hangouts Meet, you can share the links to video calls or pre-recorded content via Remind.

If you use any of the other educational tools listed here, look for the blue Share on Remind button in the same place you usually see options for sharing. Clicking on the button will take you directly to a Remind message with a link to the content that you want to share.

***

2. Enable two-way messaging for individual outreach.

When two-way messaging is enabled, you can communicate directly with students and families to answer questions and provide individual support. Personal contact information is never shown, and conversations are always available to access in your message history.

Class participants can send messages in the same way they receive your notifications- by text, by app, and online. You can set office hours for your account to let them know when you're available.

***

3. Update class settings to encourage collaboration.

Class settings can be updated on a class-by-class basis for additional collaboration. If you share a class with co-teachers or administrators, you can add them as class owners to give them the same permissions that you have.

From your settings, you can also allow class participants to message each other for discussion, activities, and questions. The options include messaging anyone else in the class, other participants with the same role (student or parent), or just you and any other class owners.

Once messaging is enabled, participants will also be able to create group conversations for additional collaboration.

***

Create a more inclusive classroom for both students and parents with live translation and captions

ABOUT

What is Translator for Education?

The Translator for Education site provides free resources, tools, and how-to guides for live captioning and translation in the classroom. Schools are increasingly diverse. Teachers manage many types of learners, including students who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) who require assistive technology, and language learners (and their parents) who may not speak or understand the language of the classroom well. Microsoft Translator helps bridge these communication gaps, supporting accessible classroom learning with live captioning, cross-language understanding, and even multilingual casual conversations to help with student integration.

FOR PARENTS

Parent Resources

Learn about the Translator app's conversation feature and how you can have live, translated parent-teacher conferences in your chosen language.

FOR STUDENTS
