I have been trying to come up with more exciting ways to practice our spelling words. My kiddos and I get super tired of doing the worksheets out of our basal so I'm trying to incorporate other activities to reinforce their words. Today, I had them divide their paper into sixths and write their spelling words on the spots. I gave each table some paint and Q-tips. They used the Q-tips to dot/spell their words. They had a blast doing this and I even heard these comments, "How cool" and "This is so fun." When a teacher hears those comments, it makes you want to jump and scream because what you are doing is working, they are learning and having FUN!!! Here are a few pictures of it. GRRR!! Sorry it is upside down, can't get it turned.
I had to share these photos. The activity came from
http://firstgradewow.blogspot.com/. If you have neveer been to her blog page, do so NOW!!! She has many amazing ideas and packets. The best part she shares them all for FREE!!! Yes, I said FREE. Go visit her now.
They had to finish the sentence, My 2013 is going to be....
We made a list of words that could describe our 2013 and then they put it together on a party had and added their face and hair. This one cracked me up with her hair.
Somehow I missed this post when I first joined your blog! :( I'm loving that q-tip paint idea with spelling words. This would work perfectly with my kiddos and their sight words. Thanks for sharing.
