We are getting close to the end of our first 9 weeks, so this last week we spent the week assessing skills that we have been working on. Sight words are one of those skills that we grade so we did some extra practice with them.
1. Sight Word Bingo-I made some bingo cards up that had all of the sight words on them that we have been working on this 9 weeks. This was a fun way for them to practice some more on the sight words.
2. Sight Word Swat-I put some of our sight words on the board and gave 2 students a fly swatter. When I called out a word, they had to turn around, find it and swat it. The first one to swat it would stay in the game.
3. Sight Word Connect Four-I used the connect four games on TPT to practice our sight words.
4. Some of the students didn't remember all of the sight words when I first tested them on Monday. I sent home flashcards with each one of them and they worked extra at home on them. Those that could read all of their sight words by Friday received a free ice cream cone certificate from Braum's. They were so proud to earn this certificate.
We finished our first month of homework. If the students had completed 4 assignments each week for the month then they made the homework club for the month. We got together with the other first grade class and ate lunch with them and enjoyed a special brownie treat!
I hope you had a great week!
