Sight words: Color by code (Freebie!)

Anonymous — Tue, 15 Jan 2013 22:00:00 GMT

Something new I started doing with our sight words is color by code. I originally posted about this in this blog post. Students color their sight words by the code to reveal the answer to the question. Everyone seemed to really like the color by code so I decided to make another that is not seasonally related. It has cute little riddles to solve by coloring. I have a free preview just for the readers of my blog by clicking here. (Make sure you go through the link and not through TPT. The link doesn't have a watermark on it.) If you head on over to my TPT store you can download the entire file. If you download please leave a comment. I would love your feedback on the freebie as if this is something that can be used, I will continue to make them.

Sight Words: games

Anonymous — Tue, 08 Jan 2013 15:59:00 GMT

If you Google sight word game you will literally come up with hundreds of ideas. Some of our class favorites include CandyLand, (we write our words on the cards and read the word before we move a space), Oh No!, Word Shapes.

Oh no! is a game one of my wonderful co-workers introduced me to a few years ago. Words are written on cards and then put into a container. I usually try to use a seasonal container such as a stocking in December, a pumpkin in October, etc. One or two of the cards say Oh No!or some variation of it (Oh Snow!, Oh pumpkin!, Oh turkey!). Students take turns drawing and reading the cards. If they get the word correct, they get to keep the card. If they draw Oh no! the student must put all of their cards back. You can get some of these games for free by checking out these blog posts.

I also just added Oh Snow! to Teachers pay Teachers as my first payed item. It is only $1.50 and it is snowman themed. You can check that out here.

To play Word Shapes we have our words written on various shapes depending on the time of year. For example, in March, the words were written on shamrocks. We then spread the shamrocks on the floor and when the teacher calls out the word the students has to find it. Depending on the motor skills of the child they may just stand on it, pick it up, use a flashlight to point to it, or use a pointer to point to it.

Hurricane Sandy means no school and a freebie!

Color by the code

Well, I am home due to hurricane Sandy. The little corner of our town that my family and I live in does not flood, however, I can't say that for the rest of the town. I never experienced a flood day until I started teaching here. It is amazing how some of the town families have lived her for a 100 years and even after all of the floods they have experienced will never leave. Small town living is that awesome.

Since I am home I thought I would work on something I have been planning in my head. This is an activity to practice sight words or numbers (although really we could add math facts, etc to it also). Students color the squares by the code to reveal the answer to a question or riddle. I started because I want to continue working on numbers with my student that I made the monster cover up for. (If you missed it, click here to get your freebie!) This quick activity then spiraled into covering some of the sight words that our first grade students are working on.
I used Clip Art from my new favorite place for FREE graphics, .

I also used a new font called What the teacher wants from Kimberly Geswein Fonts. It was created with the input from another fantastic blog, What the Teacher Wants.

Please let me know what you think and if this works for your students. If the kiddos like them I will make more. Click the link below the picture to get your copy. Hope you are all staying safe and dry!

Lucky Day!

I woke up this morning feeling just a little lucky and I wanted to share my luck with you. I redesigned one of my class favorite activities and got it all dressed up for Saint Patrick's Day. These printables are just a snap to get ready and prepare on the fly because it is just print and go! But my class just loves it when I send these home with crayons and dice in homework bags. And believe it or not they ALWAYS return their dice! I have collected dice for so long that I have dice in baggies just saved for homework bags. Come on over and share the luck and download seven free pages of sight word fun and then grab those dice and get rolling!
