Newspaper Sight Word from K: double stuffed

Check out K: double stuffed.  I love this sight word activity.  Students look through a newspaper and find sight words. Then they write what they find on the recording sheet (free download).

You'll want to have plenty of time to peruse her fabulous blog!  Talk about addicting!

Clue Sheet (freebie)

Here is a(nother) freebie for you.  You could use it for anything.  Print it front/back and fold it in half.  They write three clues on the front and draw a picture and fill in the blank on the inside.  Then they cut the dotted lines to make flaps.  So as you read the clues you can open up to get a visual clue too.  Hope that makes sense!

Rainbow Writing Sight Word Sheets (freebie)

So it turns out my kids hate to color in letters.  They get zero letter formation from it because they just scribble through the letter outlines.  So here are the new and improved sight word practice sheets. 

I am going to print these front/back.  They trace the words rainbow style so they are focusing on formation.  They circle the word in the sentences.  They write their own sentence using the word.

On the back they write the word five times.

I plan to make all the other pre-primer and primer words on the Dolch list as that is what we teach.  If you would like the powerpoint version to make your own words, let me know and I will be happy to share it!

High Five (freebie)

Here is a classroom management technique that I saw in a colleagues room (thanks Ms. Phillips) and had to try.

My K kids sit at tables that I have designated as certain colors (I use this when calling to line up, etc.).  I laminated a sheet of paper to match each table and I got some little hands from the teacher supply store to laminate as well.  I added some drops of Aleene's Tack It Over and Over glue to the colored paper.  Now the hands will stick.

Here are the expectations for students to earn a high five.

Once a table earns 5 high fives they get to choose a reward!

This can obviously also be used on a smaller scale to reward individual students.

Writing Prompts (freebie)

I had been thinking about making some writing prompts.  Then Rachelle over at What the Teacher Wants posted this and I was inspired!

So here is the first set of what I am sure is going to be many more.

If you have any topics or starts you want me to do, let me know!
