About Me

Hi! I'm Katricia Powers, and I've taught first grade in Oklahoma for six years at an amazing school with amazing people. I'm starting my first year as a second grade teacher in Washington State this year, and am so excited! Teaching is my passion along with being mom to three rowdy boys! I am also lucky enough to be happily married to the love of my life.

Literacy to match Math!

Last summer I worked on my math homework.  I've had a literacy component that I always sent home, too, but hadn't had time to go through it and revamp it.  This summer, I finally did it!  Yay!  It's mostly what I've done for my class with a few changes.  This year will be a trial year so I'm going to put it in my TpT store for  less than the math unit.  Once I've piloted it in it's new format this year, and made changes, the price may go up... so get it while it's cheap! :)

First 9 Weeks     Second 9 Weeks    Third 9 Weeks    Fourth 9 Weeks



  
This is going to make my life so much easier!  Printed back-to-front, just like the math, stapled, and sent home on Monday, and ta-da! homework done!  34 of the 36 weeks have nonsense words (that change every 4 weeks).  Weeks 10-34 also have a reading passage.  These activities have helped my students immensely with DIBELS testing.  Other activities are introduced as they are taught through the school year, such as phonics rules, base word, suffix, prefix, letter writing, ABC order, etc.

Back to summer relaxin'!
