<span style="text-align: left;">The very first sight words I teach in the school year are Color Words! I like to start off with them because most kids know their colors (and its a great assessment to see who doesn't!) and you can really do SO much with colors and color words for those first few weeks of school! I made this fun Color Words Match it! for students to practice matching the color words while strengthening their fine motor skills with clothespins. Best of all, it is FREE! </span></div>

I love this Match it! set because it can be used as a quick and easy-to-prep center. You could print the color version, or the black and white version and use crayons to color it in to save on printer ink!</div>

After cutting out the pieces, you will need to attach the color words to the clothespins. You could use double sided tape, glue, or hot glue- especially if you choose to laminate for durability! I love using clothespins in my centers because you can get SO many for super cheap, and students are strengthening their fine motor skills while learning!<br />

Spring is FINALLY here! It's time to get outside and explore for our little ones. One of my favorite Spring activities in the classroom is getting Butterfly larvae so we can watch them grow and change into butterflies! The kids LOVE this activity every year and learning about the Life Cycle of a butterfly. I created this FREE Mini Book to go along with your Butterfly Unit!</div>

I always purchase my caterpillars from Insect Lore. I just discovered that they are actually on Amazon Prime!!! SCORE! The first year I did this, I bought the entire Butterfly Garden, but after you have that, all you'll need each year is the Caterpillars. You can find them here:</div>

We spend several weeks observing, journaling, and learning all about butterflies in the Spring. It is such a cool process from start to finish for students! They really gain an understanding of the life cycle. This LOW prep Mini Book will be perfect to add to your lessons!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To prep your Mini Books, you need to print one book per student. Each book is only ONE PAGE! That is what I love about <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Mini-Books-MEGA-BUNDLE-3727142?utm_source=TPP%20%7C%20Butterfly%20Mini%20Book%20FREEBIE%20Post&utm_campaign=Mini%20Books%20MEGA%20BUNDLE%20Product%20Link">Mini Books</a>. They only use 1 sheet of paper, and every student gets to take home a book to read over and over again. You could also print them in color and laminate them to use year after year. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To fold the books, lay the page flat:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You will fold down once on the middle gray guideline:</div>

I am trying to collect paperwork, make sure all my kids eat, send them home at dismissal correctly, communicate with parents, OH and get to know my students both personally and academically! Our plates are definitely full, so I wanted to create an easy and organized data collecting system that would help me know where they were with their letters and letter sounds right off the bat.<br />

This<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Letter-Data-System-3668059?utm_source=TPP%20Letter%20Data%20System%20Blog%20Post&utm_campaign=PRODUCT%20LINK"> Letter Data System </a>is one of my biggest "Labor of Loves" that I have worked on. It allows me to immediately start testing students at the beginning of the year, have them practice their letters, and involve parents right away by using this system.<br />
<br />
The system consists of 5 components:<br />
1. Progress Monitoring Tools<br />
2. Student Ring of Letters System<br />
3. Parent Note<br />
4. Student Letter Data Sheets<br />
5. Letter Data Walls<br />
<br />
Keep reading to find out how to use each component!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The first component of this product is Progress Monitoring. The dates on this form are editable so you can test students as often as you need. My goal is to always test weekly at first- so I can tell who is really growing and who needs more remediation. This tool is especially great for RTI kids when you need to pull data for them. I keep all of my kid's assessments in my data binder for quick reference when we are working in small groups.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As a way for students to keep track of the letters they know and don't know, we use their Ring of Letters. I try to keep 2-3 letters they DON'T know on the ring for practice. They slowly build up the amount of cards they have to go over as they learn their letters. The cover pages for these Rings are editable so you can add your kid's names.</div>

My FAVORITE part about this system is the Parent Note. This is a quick way to let parents know about their child's progress.</div>

Students love tracking their own data with these Data Sheets that they can color in or use stickers on! There are several options to track Letter Recognition or Letter Sounds.</div>

The last part of the system is the set of Data Walls. There are also several options for this one, so you can choose to display Letter Recognition or Letter Sounds with Ice Cream scoops or using clothespins on posters.</div>

Every year it seems that I have a good bit of students who don't have ANY books at home to read. It makes me so sad! I know this is often the case in a lot of classrooms, so I wanted to change that. I make copies of recording sheets or worksheets, so why not create something that uses the same amount of paper- just 1 page per student, and make it a book where they can take it home and READ it to themselves or with their families?<br />

Mini-Books are a favorite because they only use 1 sheet of paper per student, and they are SUPER low prep! I have created a packet of Mini Books for each month that feature monthly themes and holidays. Currently, it is a GROWING bundle, so it is super cheap!

<h2>
PREP your Mini Book</h2>
<div>
<br />
To prep this Mini Book, print the page and make enough copies for your students. After that, the only prep you will need to do is fold! This is a great opportunity for your kiddos to work on those fine motor and folding skills if you want to involve them! There are light gray guide lines that make folding super easy.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Start with the paper flat:</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then fold over once.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Fold over again, and you're done! Your mini book is ready to go!</div>

<h2>
Reading your Mini Book</h2>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This Mini Book is a great way to integrate Science into Reading. You could use it in your Guided Reading groups, Literacy Centers, or send it home for Homework to review 5 senses!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Students can read and color each page while they review their 5 senses.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As an extension, you can have students circle the senses as they read: see, hear, smell, taste, touch. They could also underline the objects that are being sensed: butterfly, birds, flowers, popsicle, rain puddles.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
While reading, some discussion questions you could ask are:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- What else do we use our senses for?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- What is the weather like in the Spring?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- What is your favorite part about Spring?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- What are some things you might use your senses for in the Summer, Fall, or Winter?</div>

To prep this activity, you will need to draw a "door" on the solo cups. We call the cup "Mr. Bear's House," so it has a playful meaning to the kids. I used a thick permanent Sharpie like this one.</div>

I like to do this activity during math rotations in my small group. That way, I can closely watch each student and how they are manipulating the cup and bear. When I introduce this activity to the kids, I start with just showing the "house." I teach them that the door is Mr. Bear's front door- which is very important for them to understand once they start manipulating the bear. Each child has a cup and we work on pointing to the bottom, top, inside, outside, side, front, and back of the house. Once students have the parts of the house down, I introduce them to Mr. Bear.</div>

I give them a little time to play with the cup and bear and practice putting him in and out, then we start to manipulate the bear and practice our positional words! Keep reading to see each word we practice. Also- I use these posters in my classroom once I introduce each positional word so students can use them as a reference.</div>

As students are moving Mr. Bear around, I pay attention to who understands each positional word. This standard for math is more of a vocabulary understanding and will just take some practice until they learn the meaning of these new words. </div>

Students can write, trace, or read the book depending on which copy of the book you want to use. In this book, students fill in the positional word as they read. This is also a great activity for Math Small Groups.<br />

One of the most successful ways I have ever introduced letters and letter sounds is by using this tactile method. Letting students "feel" the letters while saying the letter and sound aloud is great for multi sensory learning!</div>

To use this method, I print and copy these half page sheets front and back, then cut in half. On the front, the letters are large and show the letter formation using numbers. On the back, students can practice writing the letters with traceable letters, as well as writing them independently.</div>

First, I have the students follow the numbers and trace the letters with their fingers. As students trace the letters, we say aloud the letter and sound: “A says /a/”. We say it over and over again as we trace the letters multiple times so they are associating that motion and letter sound together.<br />
<div>
<br />
After tracing the letters with their fingers a minimum of 3 times, its time for some tactile bumps! I use these <a href="http://amzn.to/2BFqMrR">Mesh Plastic Craft Sheets from Amazon</a>. They come in a pack of 12, so you can cut them in half and have a class set of 24!<br />

With the mesh underneath, have the students trace the letters with a crayon. Do NOT use a pencil, it will break the tip. Have them trace it multiple times with the correct motion and pressing down hard to feel the bumps, while saying “A says /a/”.<br />

After they have traced it with the crayon, have them trace the crayon writing with their finger. It will feel raised for a tactile sensation. Continue saying aloud “A says /a/” as they trace.<br />
<br />
<br />
After they have completed the front of the sheet, flip to the back and use crayon or pencil to practice writing the letters.</div>

I use these sheets to initially introduce each letter, and then I use them as needed for extra handwriting practice! OR if you have RTI students, they are great for reinforcement.<br />

Do you teach word families? Word families are one of my favorite ways to introduce or reinforce CVC words and rhyming words. I love seeing the lightbulbs start to go off when they recognize words with the same ending sounds and how they are spelled the same. It really helps build their phonics skills!</div>

To prep, I printed the dinosaurs and eggs on <a href="http://amzn.to/2EFi4JD" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">cardstock</a><span style="text-align: center;"> and cut them out. Eggs can be tedious to cut, so it looks perfectly fine if you just cut them out as rectangles and save some time!</span></div>

I like to use <a href="http://amzn.to/2FQfO1D" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Small Pocket Charts</a> like these for centers where there are a lot of pieces. It helps students stay organized and pieces aren't all over the floor! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Students start with the 3 dinos on the chart, and then match each egg to the correct word family.</div>

<br />
Like I said in my last post, it is that time of year in Kindergarten when CVC words are crucial for your kids to start blending to develop their reading skills. As I introduce each letter to my kids, I add it to my blending board. I start building their blending skills at the beginning of the year even if it only starts with the letters they know or 2 sounds I have introduced. In this blog post, I will show you how to make your own blending board!<br />
<br />

<br />
Our kiddos that come to us as emergent readers have ALOT of work to do to jump up reading levels before the end of the school year. CVC words are just the beginning of the phonics skills they will need to decode those tough words they will start to see as they get into level D books (Fountas & Pinnell levels). It is SO important to get them use to blending letters as they learn the sounds so that it just becomes second nature to them while reading.<br />
<br />
As I introduce each letter, I add it to my board, so there are very few letters at the beginning. Depending on the order of letters you teach, the word they are able to read first will vary. The beginning of our order is C O A D G M L.... So some of the first words that my kids know how to read are cod, cad, gad, mag, lad, lag, etc. We practice blending daily using the I do it, We do it, You do it method:<br />
<br />
I do it. (I point to each letter and make the sound then blend them all together to make the word) For example: /m/ /a/ g/ mag<br />
We do it. (They do it with me)<br />
You do it. (They do it by themselves and I only point)<br />

The blending board is also GREAT for RTI kiddos. Letting them manipulate the cards and point to the cards themselves has some real power. Most of my RTI kids usually aren't even ready for blending the 3 phonemes, so I may stick to just 2 until they master that. </div>

UPDATE! I have now added beginning blends, magic e, vowel teams and nk and ng endings to these cards, along with EDITABLE pages to add any sound you want! :)<br />
<br />
First you will need a binder like <a href="http://amzn.to/2C41Re9" target="_blank">these I found on Amazon</a>. I used a 1 inch binder.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Go ahead and put some of the letters on the rings so that you can see how far down they will hang and where you will need to fold the binder back.</div>

Fold the binder back about an inch below where your letters hang. Binders are usually just cardboard inside so they can bend with a little force. :)</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Next you will bend the other side so that the two sides meet up.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
After bending both sides, it should sit up like this.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used hot glue to glue the sides together.</div>

And there you have it! Your blending board is ready to go! :) I would recommend making a few for your classroom. You will want one for yourself, one if you have an aide or someone who pulls your students for RTI, and one for centers that your kids can use independently. The resource I mentioned above includes a recording sheet that can be used in a center for students to record the real and nonsense words they make with the blending board.<br />
<br />

Another favorite way to teach CVC words is with hands-on centers. I like to use these as "Write the Room" and put the pictures around the room for students to write on their recording sheets. Answer Keys are included for self checking.<br />

It's that time of year in Kindergarten where CVC words are SO important! My kiddos love sounding out words now that they know their letter sounds. These Heart CVC Word/Picture match ups are great for practice!<br />

I printed these on <a href="http://amzn.to/2EFi4JD" target="_blank">cardstock</a> then <a href="http://amzn.to/2CYZprw" target="_blank">laminated</a> and cut them apart like puzzle pieces.<br />

<br />
With picture matches like this, I always have my kids lay out all of the pictures and pick up one word at a time. They sound it out, and then find the matching picture.<br />
<br />

You can either have your students write the word on their recording sheet one at a time, or at the end when they have matched them all!<br />

I love to keep Centers with small pieces like this in my <a href="http://amzn.to/2D9eEOz" target="_blank">Iris Photo Storage</a>. It makes clean up and organizing so easy!<br />

Another fun tip is to put stickers on the back of the matching pieces for self-checking!<br />

My kids absolutely LOVE seeing their clips move up as they learn their sight words. Every year I have had my data wall, I make sure to introduce it and develop it as a positive and uplifting thing where they can cheer on their friends as they progress!</div>

I am completely updating my classroom decor over to a Watercolor theme, so this was one of the first things to get a facelift. Instead of having 2 columns this time, I decided to print 2 to a page and have only 1 column where the kids truly move straight up as they progress. Check it out:</div>

I am loving the bright cheerful colors! Not to mention, the new version saves on some MAJOR black ink! You can snag it by clicking any of the pictures!<br />
<br />
I have also added a <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Sight-Words-Data-Wall-Student-Data-Sheet-with-editable-pages-2008238?utm_source=TPP&utm_campaign=Sight%20Word%20Data%20Update-%20Student%20Tracking%20Sheet" target="_blank">Student Tracking Sheet</a> in case Teachers don't want to use a class display...this way it keeps it personal and students get to use stickers to show their growth!

After a long hiatus of blogging, I am kicking myself into gear and so excited to share what is going on in my classroom this year! Last year was filled with pregnancy, baby boy, and maternity leave, so I had good reason to take a little break. :) Let me tell you, taking maternity leave at the beginning of the school year is NO JOKE! I would not advise it. Haha, but really...I feel like this school year has been a game of "keep your head above the water" and I am finally feeling like I am caught back up and on track again. This sweet little thing is worth all of it. :)<br />

Anyways! Since coming back, my school has fully adapted Lucy Calkins Reading and Writing Units of Study....and let me just say- I LOVE THEM! The amount of growth I have seen with my kiddos just since I have been with them since October is really amazing. I love how the units are laid out and guide the process of learning to read and write. It has also made me kick myself into gear with organizing my leveled library. I have had leveled readers for years and years but I am just now getting around to organizing and labeling everything. Here is a picture of the process:</div>

Another fun thing we have been working on is our Student Word Walls. In the Writing Units of Study, it encourages snap (sight words) words to be readily available for students. While I have a Word Wall in my room, it is helpful for students to have their own "Word Wall" in their writing folders for quick reference. As a class, we brainstormed a list of words that we have been using a lot in our current unit (narrative) and then put them on their word walls. Here are some examples:</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What I love about these Word Walls is that they can highlight their words to match the color coded words on my Word Wall in the classroom. That way, I can say "Then is the yellow word under T" for quick and easy reference! This has helped the process of writing SO much! They are more focused on getting their ideas down on paper, rather than remembering how to spell a specific sight word or spending forever trying to find it on the Word Wall.</div>

Do you use Lucy Calkin's Units of study? I am such a nerd when it comes to learning about how to teach reading and writing....I could talk about it and research it for hours!</div>

But hey, you can save this for next year! :) This is by far my favorite Valentine I have ever made for my kids! I save my old crayons at the end of the year and then throw them in my February box for the next year, then I am set when Valentine's Day rolls around!<br />
<br />

<br />
Here are the steps for this precious Valentine!<br />
1. Peel Crayons<br />
2. Break into small pieces and place in heart shaped silicone molds- I got mine from Hobby Lobby<br />
3. Place in oven at 250 degrees for about 15 minutes, or until you see crayons have melted (I set the molds on a cookie sheet so they are easier to take in and out of the oven)<br />
4. Set out to cool- or place in fridge to cool for sake of time<br />
5. Carefully pop heart crayon out of mold<br />
6. Attach to adorable freebie that I have <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Valentines-Day-Crayon-tag-with-editable-name-2452621" target="_blank">here in my TPT store</a> :)<br />
<br />
And TADA! So easy! And cheap!<br />

I have been a little MIA for a couple months, but for a very important reason....I am pregnant! I took a little time off from the blog to do fun things like morning sickness, be super tired 24/7 and go to bed extremely early. I am FINALLY feeling back to myself here now at almost 15 weeks pregnant, so blogging is now a main focus again! Sometimes you just have to take a little time for yourself. :)<br />
<br />
It has been so much fun getting to tell family and friends that we are pregnant! I knew I wanted to surprise my team at school, so I called a meeting during planning saying that we would need to discuss field trips and that everyone needed to bring their assistant as well. Well, instead of discussing field trips, I told them I had a little treat for them:<br />

I forgot to take a before picture with all the pretty donuts before we started eating. :) It was right before Valentine's Day so they were all pinks and reds!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also had to come up with a fun way to tell my little ones! Luckily, we announced around Valentine's Day, so it made perfect sense for the baby to give my kids a Valentine. At first, they thought I was calling myself a baby? Lol. Nooooot quite. I had to explain a little more and then they realized what was going on. "YOU'RE HAVING A BABY!?!?!"</div>

On another note...I started my new Comparing Numbers Math Work Stations last week and I am just SO excited with how well my littles are doing with them! I have been so impressed with how they are guiding their own learning and working so well in groups together! Here are a few pictures from our rotations this week:</div>

Each work station has a direction card that they are responsible for reading and gathering materials from. I let them use whatever maniplulatives they want to solve the greater than/less than problems. Choice! They are allowed to work with a partner, or choose not to! Choice!</div>

Pumpkin Fun!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We kicked off our Pumpkin Unit this week! We are getting ready to take a field trip to a farm/pumpkin patch so we are going to be super busy learning about pumpkins so we can be pumpkin experts! There are so many amazing resources and freebies on TpT and Youtube for learning about pumpkins. Here are a couple of our favorites:</div>

One of my favorite parts about studying pumpkins is when we actually get to carve one together! They love taking turns to pull out the "guts" and do fun counting activities with the seeds. You can grab my <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/How-to-Carve-a-Pumpkin-Informational-How-To-Writing-952539" target="_blank">"How to Carve a Pumpkin" writing here</a>.

We just finished up our 5 senses unit last week. This was the first time I used this product to teach about the 5 senses and it went SO well! I am so excited with how everything turned out.</div>

I just love kindergarten spelling at this point in the year! :)</div>

After I introduced the 5 senses, I sent home a Project Note to get parents/families involved! (the note is included in the packet)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was SO impressed with all of their projects. I even had one friend that used pictures of each of her own senses for her poster!</div>

Last but not least...its FRIDAY!!! Woohoo! We actually had a grade level planning day today for our Reading Units and got to go out to lunch- what a treat!! It is crazy to step outside of school on a school day, it's like you forget what the world is like outside of the classroom during the day! It was so nice to sit and have an hour long uninterrupted lunch. :)</div>

...and then create their apples after a directed drawing. They drew all of the parts themselves and then cut them out to construct their apples. I LOVE work like this where everyone's looks so different! They are so cute! (freebie link below)<br />

Since we are also in the middle of our 5 senses unit, we investigated our apples using our sense of sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing. I love their observations. You can grab both of these FREEBIES by clicking the button at the end of this post.<br />

One of my favorite things to teach right now is sight words! I think it is because it is the beginning of the year and the littles are so eager to soak things up and the concept of sight words and how these words help them read is super exciting! I teach sight words in several different ways with my kids:<br />
<b>1. Using a Word Wall</b><br />
<b>2. Work Stations/Independent Practice</b><br />
<b>3. Small Groups (guided practice)</b><br />
<b>4. Homework Flash Cards</b><br />
<b>5. Ring of Words for Morning Work</b><br />
<b>6. Keep Data and Set Goals</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Keep reading to learn a little more about each component and why it is so important!</b><br />
<br />
<b>1. Using a Word Wall</b><br />

My Word Wall is SO helpful for my littles. When I first started teaching, I threw a Word Wall up, but honestly never referenced it much. Now in year 5, I completely understand why it is so important for both Reading and Writing that the kids know how to use it. You can find the letters on my Word Wall on TpT by clicking on the picture. After I introduce the sight words for the week, we leave them on my easel spelled out with letter magnets until Friday when we move them to the Word Wall. We spend all week practicing how to spell them, using them in sentences, etc.<br />
<br />

I tried to make my Word Wall super easy for my kids to reference. I wanted to be able to give them an easy way to find the words, so I color coded them with 6 different colors. For example, if a student is writing and cant remember how to spell the word 'like," I can say "It is the blue word under the L." This has helped SO much rather than watching their eyes trail off to the Word Wall and look confused! I just used Microsoft Word and used the highlighter tool to make each word a different color. You can grab them <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3zL5BpJDzmdN05YeWYwbHhJYzg/view?usp=sharing">here</a>! It is a Word Doc, so you should be able to download it and change the font. I have included all of the sight words that my team teaches, which includes the Dolch Pre-Primer and Primer words plus some extras that my district requires us to teach. The font on this file is Kimberly Geswin's KG Miss Kindergarten which you can find <a href="http://www.dafont.com/kg-miss-kindergarten.font">here</a>. Also, our Word Wall is pretty bare right now because it is only September. :) There will be 123 words by the end of the year!<br />
<br />
I always get tons of questions about my easel. Click the Amazon link to check it out! IT. IS. AMAZING.<br />

<b>2. Work Stations/Independent Practice</b><br />
Work Stations are a great way for students to independently practice their sight words. There are SO many great products on TpT specifically for independent sight word practice. This freebie is also one of my favorite ways to have them practice. Click the button below to grab a copy. Sometimes I give them the words I want them to practice, but sometimes, I let them choose the words from their Ring of Words. (see #5) We also do alot of hands on word building with stamping, letter tiles, magnets, letter beads, etc.!<br />

<b>3. Small Groups (guided practice)</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
I am lucky enough to have a full time instructional para-pro in my classroom all day that serves as one of my small group rotations. We work on sight words in my small group once a week and they also work on it in my para's small group once a week. During guided practice I differentiate among my guided reading groups. For my lowest group we are just working on identifying the words by sight right now. But for my highest group, we are spelling the words and practicing using them in context by dictating sentences and with writing. Guided practice is such a great time for you to see which kids are struggling and those that need that extra challenge. I always tell my kids there is so much to learn with sight words. If you already know them by sight, you can always learn how to spell them from memory, use them in a sentence, write a story with them, etc.! One of my favorite games to play with them in small group is "Whats the missing letter?" I build the word with the magnets then turn around where they cant see and remove a letter, then they have to guess what is missing!<br />

<b>4. Homework Flash Cards</b><br />
This is KEY! Often at the beginning of the year, [some] parents are dying to get their hands on homework or activities to do with their child. One of the first things we do on my team is send home sight word flash cards! We only teach 3-4 sight words per week, which go home in their weekly homework folders. The students are responsible for cutting out their sight words and practicing them every.single.night. I have them keep their words in plastic pencil pouches in their folders. If you don't use homework folders, you could have them keep them in a Ziploc baggie that stays in their bookbags.<br />

I also love sending these editable Mini Books home with our Weekly Word Lists. I change out the words each week and students have a book to practice their words at home while also letting parents know what words we have introduced!<br />

<b>5. Ring of Words for Morning Work</b><br />
These are my FAVORITE! I try to test my students every week to get an accurate number on how many sight words they know. As you can see in the picture, I highlight the date that I test them and then highlight the words they knew on that date with the same color. I love seeing their progression & their number grow- they love moving their clip up the Sight Word Data Wall as it grows! (see # 6)<br />

After I test them, we have a small group discussion on which words they still need to learn on an individual level. I have them write their unknown words on an index card and place it on their "Ring of Words." I try to never let them have more than 3 unknown words on their rings, and as they master a word, we add another that they do not know. If they come in knowing almost all of the words we teach, this allows me to jump ahead in the list and differentiate for each student based on their needs.<br />

What do they do with their Ring of Words? They practice their words of course! As a class, we came up with this list of ways to practice our sight words...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
When students come in in the mornings, they complete their unfinished work. If they do not have any unfinished work, they grab their Ring of Words out of their cubbie and practice them by choosing a method from the list! They take such great ownership over their rings and are VERY determined to keep adding words! Also, if we ever have any downtime throughout the day, Rings of Words are a great filler!<br />
<br />
<b>6. Keep Data and Set Goals</b><br />
As I said above, I try to take data on my kids sight words every week. It is SO important that they know what you are doing and why. For so long, I would just test my kids and never really explain why I was highlighting or what that data meant. That was SO silly now that I think about it! Now that I have explained the process and what it means, they get SO excited when I test them on their words and you can see the sense of accomplishment on their faces when we highlight the words on their test! After we have recorded the number of sight words that they know, the kids can then move their clip up the Sight Word Data Wall. My data wall goes up to 120 words because we teach 123, and then they are learning "1st grade words" after that. :) I have my kids names written on one side of the clip and their numbers written on the other side, because honestly I haven't decided which side I want to use this year! I think there are pros and cons to both names and numbers. This data wall helps keep their goals visual and gets them excited to be able to keep moving their clip!<br />
