Today starts our short 2 day week! Â Can't wait to have a few days off with family and friends in WI! Â
We were extra busy in room 32 today! Â I saw the cutest worksheet in my copy room at school about sorting words and letters, but did not copy it because I have felt lately my kids are on worksheet overload! Â So I did the next best thing, I created the worksheet in real life and had my kinders sort words and letters on our white board! Â This worked out fabulous because they could see the differences in them both and we could discuss what makes a word a word! Â Of course we have those tricky letters that are words AND a letter but my kiddos picked up the concept fast!
I was in WI this past weekend for my friend's bridal shower, so of course I found myself at Hobby Lobby! Â This store is amazing and I got the cutest little letter charms for my Word Work center! Â My kiddos LOVE LOVE Daily 5 (like scream and cheer every time I announce we are doing Daily 5, kind of love) and I am always looking to add more activities for them! Â I paired this activity with one of my activities from my Let it Snow! pack. Â I took the sight word match game cards and added it with the letter charms and we had a fabulous Word Work center! Â The students picked a card and made that word on the pipe cleaner! :)
Here is where you can find the word cards!
Hi Kimberly Ann,
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that you created a 'real life' worksheet - I think we all need to do more of that. It's so good for kids to get away from pencil and paper and manipulate and create. How fun! I would love to have been a student in your class on Monday. :o)
