Hi everyone. My name is Roxanne Wright and this is my education blog. I am a 22 year old licensed preschool teacher, who is currently studying Elementary Education and Theater in college. I have worked as an Arts & Crafts Director, Children's Theater Director, and an Environmental Educator. This blog is full of my educational dreams, inspirations, and tips. I would love advice from parents and educators so I can one day become the world's best teacher. Thank you so much.

I have always been a terrible speller. In part because I never learned spelling rules and in part because the English Language barely makes sense when it is written out.
On Friday my classroom teacher suggested I take on spelling for monday. I am teaching the difference between “ou” and “ow”.
To say that I am freaked out by this task is an understatement. I honestly do not know if I can do this. The only way I ever survived school was because of spell check.
Please send positive vibes tomorrow because I am going to need them in order to survive tomorrow!
Love,
Roxy
Spelling with legos.
I used this idea before I found it on blogs when I did literacy interventions. It really helped some students — especially by putting blends, digraphs, and vowel pairs together.

classroomcollective: Slap! Call out a word and first person to slap it, adds it to their pile….. vocabulary, sight words, math facts… so many possibilities!
This reminds me of the flyswatter game.
Do you use letter and number tiles for word work or centers? Here are some that are inexpensive and couldn’t be easier to make!
Items to Gather:
Instructions:
The tiles come on a backing which allow you to do some really fun things.
Option One - Letter or number tiles: Just stick your letter or number stickers to the tiles and peel the tiles off the backing. So fast and easy!
Option Two - Word Families: Use the box cutter to cut the backing to the length of the word family.
Flip them over and apply the stickers. This allows you to make the exact word families you teach.
Option Three - 100 Chart Puzzle: Cut the backing to make a 10x10 square of tiles. Turn it over and apply stickers.
Turn it again, to the backing side so you can cut it into puzzle pieces.
Other Tips/Suggestions:
The possibilities are endless. I can’t wait to see how you will use them!
I would also add that using tiles for spelling tests can be very helpful for children because they are hands on.
