Word Families and Rhyming Cards (Complete Pack)

If you've been wondering why for the past few days I'm not so active in Facebook and in blogging, well that's because my son and I are enjoying these wonderful language materials which I created for rhyming games and learning word families.

 

Right now, we're learning rhymes and spelling at the same time. According to my son, it's kind of tricky because they may sound the same but the spelling is different. Well of course! That's why I made these materials so he can explore those words and be familiarized with those words so he won't find it difficult to spell them.

 

Anyhoo, a few days ago, I shared a freebie of this pack.  That's because they were the first set I created and was so happy of how my son loved them so I just have to share it! Then he kept on asking for more words and stuff, so I added more into the set and I also added word sliders.

Word sliders or Word Strips as I called it years ago, was the activity I gave to Mavi to practice decoding and reading words. The repetitive words, sounds and patterns in the word families made it easier for him to decode the sound of the letter. It was really effective!  So I added this in my printable in all the word families I have in the pack.

So what's in the file?

-  42 word families (picture cards)
-  each family contains at least 4 words that rhymes and these words are in the same word family.
-  there are some words that has 4 additional rhyme words with different spelling (are not member of the word family). This will show the child that words that rhyme can have different spelling or may come from other word families.
- control / Master Chart
-  slider Cards for reading practice for each word family

FREE Butterfly Nomenclature and Definition Cards

Hello there!! Well here it is! According the result of my "query" most of you dear readers wanted to have  free Butterfly Cards... and as promised I am publishing it today together with the rest of my insect packs (available for purchase at a reasonable price).

Now all you have to do is click the image below for the link.  I am really hoping that you will like it.  If you spot an error, feel free to send me a message or note and I will correct it ASAP.  The book that we are reading inline with this study is Are You a Butterfly.  I decided to give a little review of the books that we're using next week once we're done with this unit.

 

Next week, we'll be looking into the world of Arthropods!

Remember our study of the Animal Kingdom? And the Mollusc (Snail)? We're exploring these animals one by one LOL, familiarizing Mavi of the groups and which animals belong to that group, their differences etc.

So next, we'll have insects, then crustaceans...and so on.

Here are the materials we'll be using for our Insect Study.  I have prepared them already ahead of time so I could save time and we might go back to the park to observe some insects in the pond or do a nature walk around our estate to look for bugs and ants.  If you are interested, click the images below to view details of each material.

          

          

 

Keep visiting the blog or keep liking/commenting/sharing my Facebook posts so you'll receive updates of my freebies, because I'll be sharing again a free file next week.

Well, that's all for now.  Have a lovely weekend!

Animal Habitats Cards

Hello readers! I am happy to present to you my latest product and an addition to our favourite learning materials at home. 

I am finally publishing our Animal Habitat cards!  This learning material will familiarize the child of the different biomes in the world, and the animals that thrive on that habitat.  What inspired me to create this material is that, my son loves to sort out his animal figures according to the places they live. He would ask me "Mom, does tiger lives in the forest? or savanna?"  And it's pretty much hard to explain at times why certain animals can thrive in the colder regions and how others survive in the desert.  So I made this material so I answer all of my son's questions.

(Click the image for the link)

The file contains the following:

• 6 pictures of the habitat (desert, temperate deciduous forest, grassland, tundra, taiga, rainforest)
• 60 picture cards of animals (10 animals for each habitat)
• The picture cards measure 3 3/4 by 3 1/4
• Definition card for each habitat. 
• The definition cards measure 6 x 3 1/4
• Map for each habitat. The maps measure 7 1/2 by 4 1/4.

Here's a glimpse of the material once prepared:

This is the "rainforest" in red.  The picture cards in the file has NO BORDER color.  Because I ran out of white cardstock, I printed my file in an ordinary paper.  To make it sturdy I have to add a cardstock, thus the red border. 

Here's a closer look of the map and the definition card.  I know that some of you are using the materials in your class or community school, so I made sure that the picture cards and maps are big and clear enough to be seen in a classroom setup (not just for personal private use).

  And this is a sample of how the picture cards would look like with cardstock borders. 

 

When my son saw these, he was ecstatic!! He can't wait for tomorrow to work on his picture cards and maps!

So if your kids are on stage of animal obsession, why not try these material and have them explore the animal habitats of the world :)

Vertebrate Animals

My son was excited when I told him that we'll be sorting out animals into their classification.  This was his long awaited activity and he was so happy that we get to finally do it (my cards were completed). 

So after our talk about the Animal Kingdom and how the classification of the Vertebrate animals differ, I gave him our Vertebrate Sorting Cards to classify each of the animals in the card based on their group.

This was an activity that he enjoyed the most.  Now my observation is that he gets confused at times between reptiles and amphibians. So what I did was we talk more about their differences.  We watched videos of frogs, snakes, iguanas and chameleons so he can understand why these confusing animals belong to amphibians and reptiles.

          

We did this activity a couple of times as he really really likes sorting them.

          

Then he worked on this activity again only using his animal figures.

            

This is one great activity for a child who develops a love for animals or who is on a stage that is obsessing with animals. For the materials that were used in this activity we have:

The Vertebrate Sorting Cards

Safari Toobs animals figures (reptiles, fish, birds, amphibians and mammals) which I purchased here:

Schleich for the Dinosaurs which I also purchased here:

 

The next activity is learning the life cycles of these animals according to their group.  Exciting!

The Animal Kingdom (Charts and Cards)

While Mavi is enjoying his school camp, I grab the opportunity to make this material so we can use it in the next few days (when the camp is over) before he goes back to school at the end of April.

I'm so happy that my laminator arrived yesterday and I was busy laminating these cards (thus my absence in blogging).

This is my Animal Kingdom learning material.  It is a PDF file which you can download from here or by clicking the pictures below.  It consist of the following:

Oh they look so lovely once laminated! Don't mind the lines on that image of the starfish.  That's just my printer who's already low on ink :( 

So the file has 9 invertebrates and 5 vertebrates and they all come with  definition cards that you can read with your kids (or let your kids read them if they are already a reader). 

Hope you grab a copy! Thank you!

PS. The file is currently in Scribd (doesn't use paypal for payment) as I was having trouble with uploading files in Sellfy.  If you encounter any problems let me know.

Major Rivers Around The World

Here's another printable which my son loved and I'd like to share it with you. We've been busy plotting rivers on the map lately, thus my absence for the past few days.  He loves learning about the rivers and the stories that comes with it.

         

This printable file comes with the following:

• There are 6 continents and each one has 5 major rivers
• The file comes with a fact sheet.

So aside from plotting them on the map, we also love to sort them according to the continents they belong. We've done Europe, Africa and North America already and we're still doing Africa, Asia and Australia.  This is one great material that you can add in your geography lessons. (click on the image for the link)

 

 

Hope you will like it.  Thank you!

Natural Resources of the World

I am happy to share with you one of the materials I added for our geography lessons. 

This material aims to familiarize a child of each of  the continent's natural resources like minerals, land, water, forests and biodiversity and their importance.

About the file (click the image for the link):

• There are 5 cards of the natural resources for each continent. 
• The file comes with fact sheets (for each resources).

 

 

Hoping you'll find this helpful in your homeschool journey.  Thank you!

European Countries (Territory Outlines)

Greetings! 

We're revisiting our Europe Study this month and I've been a little bit busy adding more materials to our study.  Last year, I published these learning materials for a Europe Study Unit and now I came up with new ones that we can use to have a better understanding of this continent.

I have here the 43 European countries in their territorial map outlines/contours.  There are two files available:  map in outlines and map in solid black (click the image for the link).

 

 

 

These materials aim to help Mavi identify the countries of Europe by just looking at the contour of a specific country.  I remember when I was in high school we would do this in History class but of course, it only involves Asian countries.

My son definitely loves this.  He enjoys matching the cards to our Europe Puzzle Map.  I have to say though that some contours can really be challenging to match!

 

If you don't own a wooden puzzle map, you can still use the file as this is a 3-part card which means it includes picture cards and labels as well.

By the way, I printed out the ones with the outlines only as I am saving black ink :)  But I find the solid black ones so pretty!

I have a few more materials to publish in the next few days. I can't wait to share it with you!

Oh, for other references please read about our 2013 Europe Study here and here.

Thank you!
