Swatting for Flies!!!

I was thinking to myself...how can we get the kids up

and moving to learn their sight words.  One trip to

the dollar store and voila!!  Swatting for sight word 

flies!! I put printed sight words on labels and stuck 

them on cut out flies.  The kids took the giant fly 

swatters and swatted the word I gave them. I love 

the dollar store!!

After such excitement we needed some nice quiet 

time to practice reading so we enjoyed Reader's 

Workshop.

I just have to share all the goodies I found the dollar 

store!  I have an addiction!

 

 

Can't wait to make Easter and spring games!!

Yay for Dr. Seuss!!

This week we celebrated Dr. Seuss.  Dr. Seuss is just about

my favorite person that has ever lived!!  His books never 

get old and even though I have read them all 100 times I 

still laugh out loud when I am reading them to the class.  

The one that gets me every time is, What Was I Afraid Of? 

Hilarious! In class we of course read many books, played 

with Oobleck, and created our very own original Dr. Seuss 

characters.  I also created many literacy and math activities

with a Dr. Seuss theme.  These included sentence 

formation, real and not real words, consonant digraphs, 

poetry, graphing, counting by 10's, patterning, number 

words, etc.  I wish I could post my packet on TpT but 

unfortunately Seussville will not let teachers post anything 

Dr. Seuss related :)  However, here are some pictures to 

share!!
