Monday Made-It (Sight Word FREEBIE!)
Hi there! I’m linking up with the fab Tara of 4th Grade Frolics for this month’s Monday Made It! I have a few “made-its” that I’ve been saving up… but it looks like I may have deleted some of the how-to parts. I am CONSTANTLY running out of memory on my stinkin’ i-phone, so I guess I got a little carried away with deleting pics to free up space. I’ll try and explain as we go.
Looking to add something new to your word work? Kids LOVE anything seasonal. Why not use Halloween erasers (or other manipulatives) on your play-doh mats? For this month, I simply printed my play-doh mats on orange cardstock and replaced our play-doh with these Halloween erasers from the Target Dollar Spot. The kids will love it! Looking for sight word mats? You can grab mine for FREE from my TPT store. (Be sure to leave some feedback while there!) 🙂
My kiddos this year are super-talkative, so a few weeks ago I had to pull out the big guns: Quiet Monsters. I had pics of the creation process, but those were deleted. To make these sweeties, I hot-glued googly eyes and foam hearts (the feet) to the little fuzzies. Voila! You have a quiet monster.
These babies arrived mysteriously to our front office with a letter to my class stating that they’d like to live with us. Sadly, their little ears are super-sensitive, so we have to work quietly. In the mornings, as the kids come in, I pass out a quiet monster to those who are working quietly on their morning journals. If they are not following directions regarding noise level throughout the day, they can lose their quiet monster. Simple, yet effective!
That’s it for now! Let me know what you think, and head back to 4th Grade Frolics to check out some more made-its!
I love your the sight word cards with the erasers. Thanks so much for sharing.
