New Station Ideas and Some Freebies

Happy Sunday!  I hope you are all enjoying your weekend!  

It was a pumpkin patch day for my family yesterday!  

Weather wasn't too bad either.  

A little sunshine every now and then and no rain! Yay!   

We had lots of fun and always enjoy 

the apple cider donuts and cider slushies. 

 Here's a picture of Natalie and I!

Glad we went yesterday because today is filled with lots and lots of rain!  But that's pretty typical for Oregon!  Thought I'd share some of my stations that we did last week and and also share a few freebies that you might find helpful as well!  

We've just started our Dolch sight word lists in first grade.  

Each of my kiddos takes a list home for practice.  

You can read about this set {HERE}  

The lists can be found in this product below.  

I attach a note to their first list that goes home.  It is completely editable and if you'd like a copy feel free to click below!  I used this font {HERE}.

This year I decided to create an individual poster that my first graders can place stickers on.  They just Love it.  I keep their individual posters in my reading conference notebook.  When they finish reading the words, they take home their filled up rainbow and begin spelling.  

In previous years I've used the poster that can be found in the post {HERE}.  If you'd like a copy of the posters you can click on either picture below to grab a copy!

If you're following my stations that I incorporate into my reading block,
