I know it’s been a while since I have posted. I have crazy busy taking care of my daughter and lesson planning for school. I am loving first grade compared to kindergarten. Kindergartners are so sweet, but the beginning of the year was always stressful trying to teach so many routines. First graders know their way around the school, but still love being there!
We have been working on learning the short vowel sounds and how to read and write words with short vowels. Some of the activities I have been using are sound boxes, making words, word ladders, and picture/word cards. I gave the students a probe on short a and I was pleasantly surprised by the great results. Just a few students will need extra work with short a.
I’ve been spending lots of time visiting other blogs for ideas since this is my first year back in first grade. I hope to get creative soon! One idea that I am going to use in a word work center next week is a word family game. I have 3 mini pumpkin baskets with consonant tiles in them. On the outside of each pumpkin I have included a word family ending (-ack, in, ot). I made a recording sheet where students will record the words that they make. I will let you know how it turns out!
Well, I will talk to you all soon! Hugs and kisses from first grade!
