First day subbing + First grade Dolch sight words

9/14/2012

So it looks like my summer is over. I got my first subbing call this year, and oh my goodness what a day it was. A class of 29 kindergartners, not even past their 2nd week in school. So not only do they not have the classroom routines down yet they basic school behavior down yet. One of the ELL students kept on trying to leave the room during class.

Luckily, I had some great para's in the room with me and a well written and detailed sub plan.

But Wow. There really shouldn't be that many kindergartners in one room.

Also, I had a request to make a set of First grade sight words from the Dolch Sight Word list. As always the first few days of its release I give my creations away for free. I do this in order to reward those who follow my blog either through facebook, pinterest, twitter, or the RSS feed. If you like this worksheets and need some for kindergarten you can go to my teaching sight words page to find more sets of worksheets.

The worksheets will be available for free until tomorrow, so come and download them quickly. The free give away is over. You can now purchase these worksheets for $3.50 at the shop.

Spy Pigs Sight Word Game Completed

9/4/2012

The spy pigs sight word game is finally complete. In this game you give students one Spy-pig to decorate. Tell students that there are 5 different types of items that they can use to disguise their spy pig: Shirts, pants, sunglasses, hats, or other accessory.

Each of these categories has 20 sight words that students have to learn. So if a student can correctly read all 20 sight words within a minute they can choose something for their spy pig to wear.

If they wish to change what there spy pig is wearing they have to again demonstrate their mastery of the word list.

Or you can have them play this version as a way to practice sight words in a reading center:

Students take turns drawing a card. When they read the word correctly they get to keep the card. If they get three of the same kind (i.e. if they get three cards with sunglasses on them) they can choose something to put on their spy pig. They can also place something on their spy pig when they draw a Choose a ______, card.

In this type of game, you don't need to have students compete to win, they can just play to show off their style and creativity.

Coming Soon: Spy Pigs - sight word game

8/30/2012

I've been working on a new game for practicing sight words. I'm so excited because its coming out soo stinking cute.

The new game is going to be called Spy Pigs. (kinda a pun off of the Spy Kids) The idea is that students will have a set of flash cards of the sight words that they are working on. Of course, simply going through sight word flash cards can get old very quickly. So to get my (and your) students more motivated to study there words I came up with this game.

When your kids get through different sets of their sight word flash cards they will get to choose a piece of clothing or spy accessory to put on their spy pig. Different types of accessories will have different sight words associated with them. So if they want their spy pig to wear a different type of sunglasses they need to go through the sunglasses flash cards.

When they have gone through and finished decorating their spy pig then the spy pigs can be put in a cute display. This activity can also be used for any other subject that you need to use flash cards for. So it's a very versatile game.

I've almost finished making all of the pieces for the game. I still want to come up with a few more tops and a set of different watches. I've also been toying with the idea of also having them choose a spy car for the pigs but that might just double what I have to do for this game.

The first few days after I finish it I will be releasing it for free. So if you want to be alerted when it comes available subscribe to my blog or follow me on Twitter, Facebook, or Pinterest.

Tell me what you think of the upcoming game. I'd love to hear your comments.
