L Blends Freebie

I'm sitting at home with my two boys today (who both have pink eye)!  YAY me!!   I'm hoping my husband and I don't get it! As I am sitting on my couch, looking out my window...I see this. 

Yep...those white specks are snow!!  It doesn't EVER stop.  We had a beautiful day 2 days ago.  The boys played outside for 3 hours after school and life was good.  From now until tomorrow morning we could get up to 7 more inches!  YUCK!

I've gotten a lot done and would like to share a freebie with you. 

Next year we are getting a new curriculum for Language Arts.  I am starting to develop spelling centers for my kiddos to match the words we will be using.  Today I worked on our L blends list. My units are always going to include some kind of sorting of words.  They will match the skill we are working on.  At the end of them, I am going to include mixed-up sentences.  Our kids take the MAP test three times a year.  They are good writer's but for some reason, putting sentences in order is really hard for them.  I have included our spelling words in our sentences and will have them answer some questions about them.  I can't wait to get them all done.

L Blends

 

 

 Students will sort the words onto the proper mat.

There are 4 words for each blend and there are 6 blends total.

 A worksheet is included to record the words that they sorted.

 Students will cut apart the words in the dotted lines.  They will put them in the correct order and glue them down.  They will answer questions about their sentences.  I will post the rest as I get them done.

S Clusters/S Blends

Our spelling principle this past week was learning about S clusters (or blends).  This was a little bit more challenging for some of my students.  I made some fun literacy center activities to go along with the spelling words this week.  Their mouths watered as the sorts the Smores onto the correct mats.

Silent E Words/Word Families

Whew...I have been so busy today creating some fun activities to go with our spelling curriculum.  Week three has kids looking at word endings with a silent e.  They will notice that some words have parts that are the same.  Below you will find an activity that I will do with my class to reinforce word endings.

CVC Short Vowels Words Spelling/Sorting Center

I am currently starting week number 2 of our spelling program in first grade.  This week the students will learn Spelling Principle #2.  You can look at the pattern you know to help you read a word (an, in, op, ag, am).  Because we will be doing some fun Super Bowl activities this week, I created fun spelling game with our short vowel words on footballs.  Students will look at the words and separate them onto the correct endzone mat.  They will then record the words on the recording sheet.  We will also use letter tiles this week to practice making and breaking the words.
