Hi blog friends! I sure have been in back-to-school mode lately. I know that many of you have already started back to school, but I still have a little under 2 weeks until I "officially" go back - 12 days to be exact.
Today I have a little writing helper freebie for you. I made these because my students (especially in the beginnig of the year) tend to write sentences like this: ilikemycat. No Spaces!! Therefore, I introduce them to the "Space Man" or "Space Woman". We use them to help us place a space between our words when we write. (I model how to use it before they use their own.)
The "Space Man" helps us make perfect spaces between our words. |
To make your own, click here or on the picture below.
Then print, laminate, cut and glue onto a popsicle stick.
You can store the Space Men in a cute cup. |
Snickers just loves getting his picture taken. |
P.S. - I am so excited that I am getting close to 100 followers. Keep a lookout for a 100 follower giveaway when I reach it!
Really cute! Thanks for sharing!
