Make sorting into categories fun with these category sorting mats! This category sorting activity is used to target categorization skills both receptively and expressively.  There are 10 different category mats and 60 different item cards.  Category mats and category cards can be printed and laminated. Place hook and loop dots on the back of each category card and within the boxes on the category mats. Students can easily place these cards onto the mats when sorting. You can store the cards on each mat for an easy grab-and-go activity.  These mats can be used to target both expressive and receptive language skills. You can ask students to “find a farm animal” from an array of choices. You can also have all the items out for selected categories, and have your students sort them onto the mats.  After the items are placed, you can focus on expressive language skills by having the student state the category the item is in.  For example, the student would say "A cow is a farm animal."  There is also a visual sentence mat to assist students who need visual supports to create sentences. Categories included in this product: farm animals colors shapes letters numbers zoo animals fruit vegetables toys vehicles What you’ll get: ☀️ 10 Colorful Category Mats ☀️ 30 Color Coded Category Item Cards ☀️ 30 Black Lined Category Item Cards ☀️ Visual Sentence Starter Mat with Category Word Cards You'll love using these category mats with your speech therapy students, special education students, general education Pre-K through First Grade students, as well as any other students who are working on categorization. SLPs AND TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID... ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Kaitlyn K. says, "This was a great interactive resource for my kiddos learning about categories. The bright colors of the materials were exciting for the students and it was a fun way to target divergent and convergent categorization, along with introducing some new vocabulary for each category." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Courtney S. says, "I freaked out when I downloaded this one! I LOVE that you have 2 different levels for the icons. One of them has a set that is color-coded while another set has just the black lines for students ready for more of a challenge."

Unfinished bc I lost the original file, likely won't bother to finish unless I find a backup somewhere :/ It's still pretty useable - 457 items total, not even counting colour alts - but I didn't focus on everything evenly so hair-related options are very limited and a lot of categories don't have icons, sorry!

From the time they're very small, most young children love to build things.

Hi everyone. For this month at Group of Seven Cardmakers, we are focussing on a product ... Vellum. Specifically for this month, we are using Vellum with Embossing: Dry, Heat, and Wet (embossing pastes or gels). Vellum gives a wonderful dreamy look, but can also be used in many different ways. Please check out the details for the product focus and link to videos on the blog ... Group of Seven Cardmakers Here's what I learned when I experimented with this technique ... I found using a thick vellum much easier, especially for Dry embossing. Thinner vellums have a tendancy to crack and tear. The thicker vellum also helps limit the curl of the paper with heat embossing and wet embossing (embossing pastes or gels). When dry embossing with vellum, the design usually turns white when the paper is "stretched" by the embossing folder. You can enhance the white using a stylus and mat if you want it more pronounced. Vellum is a bit tricky to adhere to cards because of it's semi-translucent nature. Cut the vellum piece larger than needed and used the excess to folder over the sides to secure at the back. Another way is to add a frame over top of the vellum, hiding the adhesives under the frame. I found if you have a busy pattern (see card #4 below), you will not notice small lines of adhesive (it gets lost in the pattern). * * * * * For my first card in today's post, I used a simple technique of dry embossing Vellum with an embossing folder (Gracious Leaves - Memory Box). It's simple and quick, and the results are always beautiful with the embossed vellum. I added a white die-cut of deers and torn hills for the snow. The sentiment is Merry Messages (Lawn Fawn) stamped in Delicata Silver pigment ink. Close-up ... Then I made the same card, this time adding sponging of Distress Inks (Cracked Pistacio, Evergreen Bough, Pine Needles), to the back of the vellum before mounting it onto my card front. Simply adding sponging completely changes the look of the card. :) Sending the above card to Rudolph Days August Challenge. * * * * * For this next card, I followed this video, which shows how to emboss vellum using a stylus and mat. I stamped my image in permanent ink onto thick vellum, flipped it over and placed on top of a sponge mat. I used different sizes of stylus tips to add pressure in a circular motion to shape the two flower heads and one bud. I went over the areas several times unti they were smooth and they image changed to white. I fussy-cut my image and then placed it over a background from my stash (peacock blue re-inker with inka gold). To finish, I popped up my panel and stamped a happy birthday sentiment in black ink. * * * * * Next, I'm sharing a card using Heat Embossing on Vellum. This is an awesome technique, created by the wonderfully talented Chrissie Stokes (Simply One of a Kind). She has a few videos showing variations of this technique using vellum and heat embossing. I followed this video. Using the cling stamp Bejeweled (Penny Black), I stamped the image on the front of my vellum and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I added more random bits of the image (always heat embossing in white), leaving lots of open space in the background. I flipped the vellum over and stamped the same image several times (one of the whole image and more of bits and pieces). This time the stamp was inked with Distress Inks: Carved Pumpkin, Candied Apple, Lucky Clover. After each stamping, I sprinkled the image with clear embossing powder and heat set. The panel was mounted onto a card base, with a sentiment banner at the bottom. Happy Birthday (Special Sentiments - Penny Black) was stamped in more of the Carved Pumpkin, with dashes of Candied Apple over top. This card makes me happy. It's so bright and cheerful. :) Sending the above card to Seize the Birthday #290. * * * * * And my last card uses Embossing Paste on Vellum. I used the thick vellum again, and it warped slightly even though I taped it down well. I think the texture adds to the overall design of the card, so I'm happy with it and will definitely use paste on vellum again. I used an older stamp set from Simon Says Stamp (Bouquet of Thanks - retired), stamped in black ink and clear heat embossed. I watercoloured with Distress Re-inkers (Picked Raspberry, Shabby Shutters) and die-cut with the matching die. I placed it over the vellum, which is secured to my card base with sticky strips along the edge of the four sides of my base. It doesn't show very must in real life because of the pattern of the stenciling and the texture of the vellum. I added a simple white embossed sentiment (Endless Birthdays - SU! - retired) on black banner; then dots of black ink for the flower centers using micro pens. Sending the above card to Die-cut Diva's August Challenge. I've used Wet Embossing on this card. :) Thanks for stopping by!

Greek and Latin roots are sometimes the evil stepsister of vocab. Middle schools that use the Common Core (or any variation of it) must teach affixes, but high schools aren't required to, even though it’s valid vocabulary building. Affixes don't initially look glamorous to students, either; at first glance, affixes seem boring (a.k.a. memorization), and teachers are wary of how to teach them well (without just lecture and flash cards). Therefore, instead of viewing affixes as literary molecules - the building blocks to like, everything - classes often just go through the motions (or worse, ignore them completely). But what if you could teach prefixes, roots, and suffixes in a small amount of time, with higher student buy-in? Truth be told, I’ve done the full spectrum of bad to good with affix instruction: not enough of it, too much of it, successful flipped classroom, unsuccessful flipped classroom, too much in isolation, etc. Finally, I’ve got a balance that I’m happy with and that is starting to raise student awareness of the words they encounter while reading. Here's what that process currently looks like in our classroom. Yes, pretests are dry, but here’s the fun part: when my seventh graders bombed their pretest, they realized that they really DO need this instruction, and now they’re open to learning more about it. There are no egos in the way, and more students are willing to learn. (Steal my editable pretest here.) Side note: No, I don’t want students to fail or take a hit to their self-esteem… but many older teens and tweens assume they know or remember content that they do not. Next, we built flip books that contained essential lists of affixes AND practice for EACH chunk of them. Students rotated through stations to do things like… Complete the pages in their flipbooks Practice listing words that USE each affix Talk through how they could remember each one Play with a premade Quizlet set Pick up pre-made flash cards and start quizzing each other Yes, repetition is necessary, but practice can come from more than just index cards. Once students start to have a handle on some affixes, it’s time to do something creative (alongside your method of memorization) to make sure these meanings really stick. Start with an intermediate activity like this FREE puzzle challenge! The application level will look different, depending on your grade level and the extent of your students’ mastery. Here are a few ideas: Mixed Levels of Readiness: My 10-pack of application activities for affixes contains easier activities for students who are still acquiring roots AND more challenging ones for students who are ready, including pages about test prep and Harry Potter! (Try one for FREE here.) Embedded into Vocabulary: Start noticing the roots, prefixes, and suffixes in the vocabulary you assess elsewhere in your class. For example, in my Word of the Day program, we identify at least one affix and/or the language of origin for each word. Delve into REAL Latin: Don’t run from this idea! Do your students know common “English” phrases that are actually Latin, such as ad lib, per se, nota bene, pro bono, pro tempore, and status quo? If not, then maybe it’s time to build literacy with these common phrases. The REAL payoff... ...will come in that cute moment when a student raises her hand because she’s just noticed an affix in the text… or when a reluctant reader correctly zeroes in on what “agribusiness” means in a nonfiction article because he knows that “agri” means “farming”... or when a class tells you that they saw a root in their Science class and knew what the word meant. If students don’t get these affixes from us now, they never will, and it’s one of the best literacy graduation gifts we can give them. You Might Also Like...

Our world is changing fast. Breakthroughs in medicine, marvels in engineering, and new solutions for old problems are hints about the world to come. More than ever, the next generation of student leaders needs to be able to problem solve. This requires critical thinking skills. The goal of many critical thinking assessments such as the COGAT, Naglieri, and others is to determine how quickly students can identify patterns. Number patterns, shape patterns, word analogies, and sequences are typically assessed in critical thinking assessments. These skills should be applied in math and reading. Students should look for patterns across history, identify patterns in mathematics, and look for similar literary techniques that different authors use to convey their ideas. I recently developed critical thinking task cards that help students build critical thinking skills. These cover many of the topics that are found in critical thinking assessments. The task cards come with a printable box. They cover word analogies, number sequences, shape analogies, and figure patterns to review a broad range of critical thinking skills.Click Here to Access Critical Thinking Task Cards Cogat Practice, Naglieri Assessment Practice Examples, Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence, Entrance Exam, Critical Thinking Test, Thinking Skills, Gifted Education
