Being from NY, a lot of my students were exposed to the damage of Hurricane Sandy.  Many lost power, and some had family in the hard-hit areas.  I needed a way to explain the storm to my class and to help them cope with what happened.  I put together this Prezi for them, and I know the storm is passed, but it's a great way to explain to your class what others are still going through. Click this picture to see the free presentation! The presentation incorporates a lot of thinking maps, which are fancy graphic organizers that I am absolutely loving right now!  If you use this program, you know how amazing it is!  I put together a set of visuals and worksheets for the thinking maps which you can check out at TPT by clicking the picture below! That product will be included in the upcoming Cyber Monday and Tuesday TPT sale... check out what other items will be discounted from my store (all of them!) by clicking the picture below!

Though some of you may be on summer vacation, I'm just coming up towards the end of my school year.  This word family Prezi is the last one for the year!  Click the picture below to check out a fun Prezi for the -ay word family! Come next year, I'll be revamping some of my older Prezis to add animations and creating some new Prezis for other topics!  Until then, check out all of my other Prezis at the link below! And of course, head over to Manic Monday for some other great freebies!

It's that time again... time for another Prezi!  This is our second to last word family this year, so there will only be one more after this one (the -ay word family).  Click the picture to take you there! If you haven't seen my other Prezis yet, click the picture below to check them out!

Hey everyone!  Here we are again with another new Prezi... the -un word family!  If you haven't checked out Prezi yet, you have to!  It's perfect for use on the smartboard, computers, or iPads!  This one I am particularly proud of one thing... the animation I made for the word bun!  My lovely neighbor was nice enough to teach me the basics of Adobe Flash and I finally did something really cool with it! Click the picture below to check out the new Prezi (and my animation for bun! hehe!) If you like this Prezi, be sure to check out all of my other Prezis by clicking the picture below!  Also, be sure to head over to TPT ... I have PDF files loaded there (for free, of course!) which direct you to the website for Prezi (so you can easily organize it in your files!)  The file for the -un Prezi is here ! On a total side note, I just figured out how to make my own borders... so expect to see a set of borders soon!

Here is yet another prezi for your viewing pleasure... the -uck word family!  Don't forget, you can always see all of my other Prezis by clicking the picture below! And if you haven't entered yet, this is your last chance!  My 200 Follower Giveaway ends tomorrow, Sunday May 20, 2012!  Be sure to enter now if you haven't yet!

I know, I know... I'm addicted to Prezi!  I think I need to go to Prezi Rehab!  But, every time I make a Prezi it's so amazing to see the students' reactions and it definitely motivates me to make more.  Plus, the visuals in the Prezi help with vocab for my ELLs also!  Check out my new Prezi by clicking the picture below! You can always find all of my other Prezis at the link below:

When you're teaching a word family, the focus is usually on sounding out words, not vocabulary.  But... why not incorporate the two?  Check out the -ack word family mini-lesson below to work with your class on sounding out -ack words, as well as teaching them the meanings of each word!  Click the picture below to check it out!

Are you looking for instant student engagement?  Well, if you are, Prezi is one of the ways that you can easily get all of your students focused and excited about anything... even a simple word family!  Click the picture below to see how much Prezi can be!  I just completed another fun Prezi on the -ell word family!  If you want to check out the Prezis that I've made previously, click the collage below! Also, if you haven't entered yet, be sure to enter my mega 100 follower giveaway!  The contest ends this Saturday, April 28, 2012 so there's still plenty of time to win $50 worth of prizes !

I have been using Prezi in my classroom this year and it is a great way to get instant engagement!  If you haven't checked out Prezi yet, check out some of my FREE Prezis below.  I've been focusing my time creating Prezis on our word families (CVC words with a, e, i, and o so far), though I've also created some on Digraphs, Vowels, and Musical Instruments.  Check them out below! This post is linked up with the following Linky Parties!                        Do you use Prezi at all with your class?  Let me know in the comments section!
