I've finished creating my Sight Word Assessment/Incentive Pack! It's the first time I've uploaded anything to my TpT store, so I'm super excited! The packet includes activities for the first 220 Dolch sight words: Superhero Sight Word List (100 Words) - Includes incentives, students forms, and a teacher screening forms. Each student receives a Superhero Sight Word I.D. card once they can fluently read the first list. Once the whole class passes, we will celebrate with a Superhero Day! Sweet Sight Word List (120 Words) - Includes incentives, student forms, and a teacher screening form. Each student will receive a Sweet Reader bookmark once they can fluently read the second list. Once the whole class passes, I will treat them to ice cream sundaes! Visit my TpT shop to download this packet for your classroom! On another note...We've been talking about the Scientific Process, so I created a versatile Lab Report printable to use when conducting experiments in class. I kept it simple in order to better suit the needs of lower elementary students. I wanted to make science a bit more exciting this year by incorporating more investigations, so I thought this would be a good way to make it purposeful! Click to download on TpT!
I have a new favorite chart! I found this on pinterest and knew it would be great to use during the first week with my new little first graders. Amanda (the smartie who made this) from First Grade Garden graciously allowed me to share a printable I made to go along with her anchor chart. I was so busy my first week that I never got around do doing this activity with the kids, so I'm saving it for one of those days when I think they need a big reminder about being good listeners. Also, I may tie it in with a writing lesson on labeling. Click the image to download this document.
