Classroom Word Wall and Sight word Practice

 

Do you love your word wall but sometimes you find that your students don’t use it as much as you wished they would?  That’s how I felt a few years ago.  Then I created these:

 

 Mini Word Walls

 

Here is a closer look!!

 

My students loved using these in my classroom to help them spell their sight words.

I also started a Word Wall station where my students used the word wall when completing this sheet.  I found that not only did it help my students become better spellers, but it also help them remember which words were on the word wall all while practicing reading their sight words!! 

 

 

Here are a few Word Wall Packs I have available to TPT.

 

 

I have also just updated the mini word wall file and now it is available to TPT.  And for today only you can purchase this file for just $1!!!!  You can check it out HERE!!

How do you use Word Walls in your classroom?

 

 

 

Catch that Bug Recap

Here are some more pictures from our bug week!!  The students loved it!! I loved all the nonfiction books we were able to read.  The students also learning about life cycles in science this week so the butterflies and ladybugs books I had were perfect!! 

 

Read All About It

All of these sheets are included in the pack.  My students picked a bug and then wrote 3 or more sentences about what they learned.  

 

  

 

 

 

 

Word Wall Review

My students used the word wall to complete this sheet.  They needed to write all the words that were under each letter.

 

 

Author’s Purpose

We read this book and then the students completed this little comprehension sheet.  My students did really well recalling facts from the story.

Earth Day In May? And all about BUGS!!

Last week we tracked back in after a four week break!! Boy was it nice to have a month off for Spring Break!!  We missed Earth Day during our Track Out so I decided to start off with that!! I won Cara’s Wonderful Earth Pack!! It is so cute!! One of our favorites was this cute craft!! My students loved it!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 This week we are hard at work learning about insects.  We started off by learning some Fun Facts about bugs.  My students LOVED IT!!  Then I had them choose two bugs to compare and contrast in Work on Writing.  Check out some of their cute work:

 

 

Next, we did a little contraction review in Word Work.  The students had to sort the contraction cards and then they had to record them on this sheet:

 

Also in Word Work, the students could also choose to count syllables in the bug words!! 

  

All of the above centers are included in my Catch the Bug Literacy Pack!! You can check it out HERE!

 

 

In writing I used another FREEBIE from Cara!!  I read Hey, Little Ant to my students and then we completed this little writing craftivity.  The students loved every minute of it!! You can find this activity HERE!

 

Don't you love this one?? If the boy squishes him his female will be sad!!  That cracks me right up!!  Too funny!!

 

 

The insect fun even continued in math where the students practiced measuring in our Math Tubs!!
