First Grade Fanatics: dolch words

Hi It's Leslie here! Hope your December is off to a great start! I've been busy with my kiddos and trying to get all of our December projects complete in only 2 weeks! YIKES! The week after next is filled with gingerbread activities from our Gingerbread Galore pack! My first graders just love when we have a week filled with gingerbread lessons tied into our math and reading.

I wanted to share some information about several new products we've added to or store!

CVC short vowel cards

Each set contains:

*Lowercase letter cards a-z (use to build CVC words)
*CVC picture cards
Word cards that match the picture cards

I like to use these cards with my large hanging pocket chart. My first graders can easily place them into the pockets and they enjoy matching the words to the correct picture or building the words using the letter cards. These are put out at my pocket chart station during my Literacy station rotations.

Erin likes to use these cards with her kindergartners using her Show and Tell Apron.

If you'd like to check out these cards, plus more, you can find them {HERE} in the pocket chart category in our Teachers Pay Teachers store, or you can find them bundled {HERE}!

Here's a sight word bingo set that I'll be using in my small reading groups this week and next! It's a freebie so just click on the picture below or go {HERE}!

There are 10 individual cards so you can have up to 10 players, or have your kiddos share :)

Enjoy!

Have a great week friends!

Well we've got report cards and conferences right around the corner so this week we're finishing up assessments and managing to fit in some thanksgiving themed activities. We though we'd share some freebies with you all in case you need some last minute Thanksgiving themed activities!

We're constantly changing up our paper practice and word work centers and always looking for new ideas. Here's one we just created:

The first page is the code page for our kiddos to use while solving the secret word pages. The second page contains our spelling words for the week. If you use Treasures and are on Unit 2 week 3, then this will be perfect for you! Don't use Treasures? We've included a sight word page as well! Just click the pictures above to download!

ABC order is another skill we're working on with our first graders. We have been having our kiddos sort up to eight words at a time. Below are recording sheets and two sets of Dolch words. The last set of eight words are our Treasures sight words for the week and the previous week.
