Fun Phonics Review Ideas

In stations today we completed some fun phonics review activities that you could do at home!  I made bags with gel, glitter, and food coloring. Students wrote the sounds I dictated on the outside of the bags. All you need to do is gather hair gel from the dollar store, glitter, and some food coloring. I would suggest saying the following sounds and having your child write the letters that make the sounds on the bag: /ar/, /or/, /ir/, /ur/, /er/, /ue/, /ew/, /ay/, /ai/, /oa/, /ow/, /igh/, /ie/, etc... You could then say words with the above sounds in them and have your child write the sounds they hear in the middle of the words.

We played a "cup toss game."  Students tossed counters into cups. They had to say the sounds printed on the cups and say a word that had the sounds in it.  This would be a fun review activity to complete at home!

Happy Friday Eve! :-)

I'm so sorry it has been so long....

It was been a very busy couple of weeks. I apologize for the long break I have taken from this blog! We have been learning some very exciting things in first grade.

Although we have taken the chapter 9 test and have completed the money unit, please continue to practice counting on with coins at home.  This is a skill students will need to remember for second grade as well as every grade that follows! :-)

The B.A.B.E.S program is in full swing. Ask your child what they are learning about during B.A.B.E.S. at school.

We are working hard to remember to be "Bucket Fillers" to our friends and family. Students want to fill other people's buckets by doing and saying nice things to them!

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
