Weekly Sight Word Activities


I introduce 4 sight words every week.  For the past 3 years I have been doing different word chants with each of the sight words and my students really enjoy the movement as they learn new sight words.  For next year, I wanted to add to this routine so I have come up with these worksheets and activities within this package.  I have gone through the Dolch words and tried to put them together in a way that would make sense to the kids and helpful at the same time with their reading and writing.  The Pre-primer and Primer list divided evenly into 4 words per week.  The Grade One list I had to make 8 lists with 4 words and 3 lists with 3 words.  The Grade Two list I had to make 10 lists with 4 words and 2 lists with 3 words.
I have made posters with the words I will be introducing that I will put up for the week so the kids remember what words we are working on that week.  My sight word routine will be the following:
Monday – Find, Colour! Worksheet & Colour and Decorate the Sight Word (the last sheets students can take home)
Tuesday – I Can Print My Sight Words little booklet
Wednesday – Trace, Write, Colour worksheet
Thursday – Pencil, Marker, Crayon, Highlighter worksheet
Friday – Trace, Colour, Cut/Glue, Print worksheet
I have also made bookmarks you can print on cardstock and laminate that the kids can either keep in their desk to practice or you can keep it at a center.  I have also make sight word cards that I’m going to send home to the parents so they can make sight word ring cards for their kids to practice the words at home.  Here are a few pictures:










I have made a complete package with the Pre-primer, Primer, Grade One and Grade Two words (American and/or Canadian Spellings) and then I have separated each word list if you would like to just use your grade level. You can view this in my TPT store at the following link:

Plant Journal Revisted with a New Addition Bean Greenhouse Activity

Image
Hello,  I cannot believe I uploaded my plant journal in 2012!!!  I have been using this plant journal with my students for 12 years!!! My students still get excited when they get their journal and investigate their plant growth.   For the past two years I have started the Bean Greenhouses where my students put a few beans in wet cotton balls, place them in a ziploc and we put them on the window and watch them grow.  This year I have created a quick journal for my students to observe their observations.  I always give 3 beans to each student because the ziploc is rather small for any more.  This year my students will be able to get their Bean Greenhouse journal, put down what day it is of growing and then colour in what stage they see their beans. They can also colour in the weather - sunny, partly sunny or cloudy.     Every year I do a living things unit and plant a radish seed with my students.   However, I have never felt the kids have had a great plant journal to keep all their no

Blank Game Boards

Every year, no matter what grade level I am teaching, I end the year with the students making a game they can play at school and then take it home to play with their family.   And every year it seems I am scrambling to put the materials together for the students.   I have found the younger students really need something concrete they can use.   I came up with these pre-made template.   I made templates without spinners, with different types of spinners and with places for cards.   I have all the templates in a binder in clear plastic protectors and I get the students to pick which template they want the day before we do the activity so I can have the templates ready for the kids.   I also have pre-made squares with various game standards such as “Miss a turn” and Go back 2 spaces” the kids can cut out and glue on the squares they want.   There are also blank squares they can print on to customize their game.   I also give the students a template to help with the writing of their direc

Teacher Week 2013 Classroom Management

Hi everyone,  I have to say, I'm really enjoying this Teacher Week 2013. It's my first time participating in something like this.  Now on to classroom management. All schools in the Halifax Regional School Board uses Positive Effective Behaviour Supports (PEBS).  This is a school-wide system of support that includes proactive strategies for defining, teaching and supporting appropriate student behaviours.  It looks at what our students can do and are doing rather than what they shouldn't do and how we as adults interact with them.  Each student receives a PEBS matrix (a gird) to take home and review with their parents and a PEBS matrix is up in every classroom and teachers routinely refer to the PEBS matrix. We also use Gems with the whole school.  Gems are awarded to students who demonstrate positive behaviours as outlined in the PEBS matrix.  Each class has their own jar into which students deposit gems as they receive them.  Each class decides on a class goal
