3rd Quarter Sight Word Sheets (freebie)

Here is the last installment of my sight word sheets.  I believe this is all of the pre-primer and primer dolch words.  These are made to print front/back.  The students rainbow write the words, find the words in a sentence, write a sentence using the words and write the words 5 times each on the back.  Click the picture to get this set from my Teachers Notebook shop.

You can find the other quarters here, here, and here.

As always if you want the editable powerpoint version, let me know!

More Rainbow Write Sight Word Sheets (freebie)

Here is our next set of sight word sheets.  I changed the look of them a bit to fit the needs of my kids this year.  My kiddos are really thrown off by the handwriting lines so I put boxes on the back and a plain line on the front.  As always if you want the powerpoint version, let me know and it is also in my Teachers Notebook shop!

Sorry about the download issues.  Helps if you remember to mark it public.  It was one of those moments...should be fixed now : )

Rainbow Writing Sight Word Sheets (freebie)

Here is another set of the sight word sheets for those who are interested.  I will be working on more of the preprimer and primer dolch words.

*If Google Docs isn't working, it is free in my Teacher's Notebook store as well!

Popcorn Word Wall Headers

I just uploaded a new item to my Teacher's Notebook shop.  It is a set of word wall headers on popcorn containers.  I think they turned out pretty cute!  Click the preview to go to my store!  Thanks for your support!

Write Stamp Decorate (freebie)

I saw this idea on Pinterest so I had to make up a version.  The idea is that they would write a word (my kids will do a word off the word wall), stamp it, and then write it and deocrate the word however they want.

**OOPS!  I forgot to add my signature before.  If you downloaded it already please click the picture above and save the new one please!

*On a side note, does anyone know how to embed google docs now?  I can't change it to the older version anymore.  HELP!

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).

Click the picture to check out the idea and get the free download!

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

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!

Sight Word Highway (freebie)

Yet another word work idea from Mrs. Morrow's that I tweaked. 

Print and laminate some highway letters.  I got mine from here.  I actually printed mine two per page so I would have double of some of the letters.  Have the students build a sight word and then drive their car over the sight word highway they built.  After driving, they record their words on this sheet; although you could skip this step.

Have you had enough yet?  : )



Popcorn Word Bottles (freebie)

Another activity that Mrs. Morrow sent to me.  I found some different clipart and inserted my words. 

To make them, I copied these popcorn words and laminated them.  I would recommend putting the words on both sides of the picture because it can be difficult to get it turned just right to see the words.  I put them into water bottles filled with corn kernels.  I wrote the number on the lid of the bottle and superglued them shut.

**UPDATE - I actually found that the "Naked" juice bottles are awesome for this (and incredibly yummy).  I also switched to popped popcorn to make it be less noisy when they shake the bottles.

The students color in each word as they find it in the bottle and record them on the lines.

As always, let me know if you would like the publisher version.



Sight Word Hangman (freebie)

Mrs. Morrow posted some great popcorn word ideas on her blog.  She was nice enough to email me some of the templates and allow me to tweak them and share them with you.  So here is the first of hopefully many popcorn word activities.

I attached this to a file folder and laminated it for durability.  I am having my students use dry erase markers to trace over the body part on the person, cross out letters used, draw lines for the number of letters, and write the letters in the word.  They are going to use any of the words on the word wall.



What kid doesn't love computers? (freebie)

Here is another word work that I have for my kiddos.  They practice their sight word spelling by typing! 

I have the computer monitor attached to a file folder.  Then I laminated it and taped the ends closed.  I store the word cards inside the folder.

I use an old keyboard with the cord cut off so my kiddos can actually type with the real thing.  I included a printable keyboard in the download though if you prefer.

If you would like the publisher version so you can modify the words, just let me know!

Enjoy!

Phone Secret Code (freebie)

Here is another word work activity that I put together.  I used the keypad (found in the printable) and glued it to construction paper.  Then I cut out a cell phone shape.  I added a plain white paper screen.  I laminated the phones and the sight word cards.  I put a dot of Aleene's Tack It Over and Over glue onto the screen (optional).  The students pick a word card and put it on the screen like they are getting a text message.  They record the word and use the keypad to figure out the 'secret code' that matches the letters.  My kids really love the little flip phones!




Here's a picture of what mine look like.  I color coded my cards to match my phones so if a card gets lost I know where to put it. : )



Click the picture for the download.

If you would like the publisher version to be able to change the word cards as needed, please let me know.


Enjoy!



Give This a Try (freebie)

One thing I love about teaching is that everyone is so willing share.  After blog stalking for quite some time and benefiting from what others have posted, I have decided to try to give back and share my ideas and printables.


So to start off with, here is a sight word activity I made to use during Word Work.  I put mine on the outside of a file folder and laminated it.  I taped the ends closed and put the recording sheets inside.  I tied a mini magnifying glass to the folder.  The students are to look at the words with the magnifying glass and write them on the recording sheet.


I hope this works  : )
