This i such a great resource!!!
This i such a great resource. The crafting aspect is easy to understand as well as put together. My kiddos have already used the alligator this year to go along with their short letter Aa. They only had heard of a crocodile, so it was a great resource to add to their vocabulary as well as their learning the letter. I love it! Thank you for making this FREE!

Your Brand Name hooked me
I started getting your materials because of your brand name, Life Over Cs, and because you actually lived and taught overseas. The materials that you have developed and created are applicable to a wide range of students, and for a teacher, the materials are applicable for use from introducing a topic, using it as an assessment, using it for review, using it, and using it for enrichment. Thank you for the thought, the creativity, and the time in developing these materials. Keep up the good work.

Simple but effective
Simple but effective. Students make a spinner with a pencil and a paperclip. Each wheel provides a variety of phonemes so students can work independently in pairs. Great value.

Great resource
I printed this out, laminated it, and used a pocket chart. My class loves guessing where something is hiding. We especially loved having 8 fish to find! Great way to reinforce and/or learn your letters.
