This chapter is being covered by 2 different blogs:
Experimenting with words:
I found this chapter to be the
easiest to implement, because I have about a zillion ideas in my head for word
work. And about a zillion little games, etc., for word work. But it occurred to
me that my huge box of file folders can be used for word work…matching
upper/lowercase, putting letters in order, matching beginning sounds, etc. File
folder games are sooo old school, but I seem to forget about them most of the
time.
Check out these awesome cards I found!
As
for writing, we use these cards every week or two when we start a new unit. I
let the kids take them out of the pocket chart to use in their writing.
Memorize
high frequency words:
We
do “spelling” every day. We practice our 2 sight words for the week by using
them in a sentence, writing them in the air, and writing them on our
papers. I have been really into “write
the room” lately too.
What
materials do I have/ would I like to get?
At this point, I
can’t even remember what I have…time to clean!
How
will I store them?
I
usually store my word work in baskets, or both in one laundry basket.
Where
will students work?
Students
will work at their seats.
I did not see a place for Chapter 7, so I guess this is the end! :)
