Word Wall Words

I'm always trying to help my first graders stay organized.  This can often be a challenge.... especially at the beginning of the year!

My Firsties use word wall flashcards on a regular basis.  Storing them can drive me batty.....  I've tried special folders with envelopes.  I've tried baggies.  I've tried having the kids store them in their pencil boxes.  Nothing seems to last....

Well this year, I think I have a solution!  I found index card file boxes a Walmart!  I pulled the file dividers out and put a cute label on them..... and Viola!

My plan is to have each child keep his or her Word Wall Word Box in their personal book bin.  Then they can use their words during Daily 5.  

I can't wait to try them!

My firsties are always working on reading sight words accurately and fluently.  To help them with this, I have created a homework activity called On Your Mark, Get Set Read!  It's really easy:  parents time their child reading words on the chart.  The kids repeat this three times a day for three days and record their best time each day!  Easy and FUN!

There are five levels to choose from:

Dolch Words:  Pre-Primer Edition

Dolch Words:  Primer Edition

Dolch Words:  First Grade Edition

Dolch Words:  Second Grade Edition

Dolch Words:  Third Grade Edition

Word Wall

I have been thinking about redoing my word wall for quite some time. I finally buckled down and got it done! My classroom will be decorated in classic colors so I created this to go with my theme. This is a huge bundle!

It includes:
Word Wall Label (6 inches round)
Headers for each letter in 3 sizes:
    6 inch round with pictures
    5 inch square with pictures
    4 inch square with pictures
100+ Word Wall words
Editable cards for you to add your own words

Check it out HERE!

I also created a set of Word Family Word Wall Headers. I plan to use these as I introduce each word family.  It comes with both a color set and a black and white. Each set comes in two sizes: 4 inch or 6 inch. Check them out HERE!
