I picked up these little tongs and plastic ice cubes and knew what I wanted to do with them immediately! My students love using tongs and the ice cubes are perfect for writing letters and words on. Take a look!
I will include these in our fine motor bins that we use every morning and have students work in pairs to pick out a word and read it to their partner or using the letters they can put the alphabet in order or build words (depending on their level).
I also found these great little metal boxes that are perfect for storing our January Literacy Center cards. They are a bit Christmas themed...but I tried to pick the ones that had penguins and snowmen so I could use them all month. I love that they are metal because if I want to add in some letter magnets I can do that too!
I'm ALWAYS looking for more storage and I picked up some pencil pouches to store the rest of our centers in too. I love the bright colors and the fact that they are clear so students can see what they are picking when they go to our literacy center..
These literacy centers will be available all month long so I need them to be easy to access and engaging enough that students will want to pick them again and again. These clear pouches will hold enough materials to make that happen!
Here is the FREE FILE I promised. It is a fun little sound match game that you could store in the metal tins or the clear pouches. It would be perfect in both!
Want to pin this for later? Here you go!
Is there a recording sheet for the sight word with ice cubes?
ReplyDeleteNo I didn't make one. I used it as a partner game for them to read to each other. If you want them to record the words you could use a white board and dry erase marker. :) Thanks for the question!
ReplyDeletelove this idea to put in a tub with artic animals.
ReplyDeleteDo you use sharpie or expo markers?
ReplyDeleteI use Sharpie's. Thanks for the question!
