Read it, Build it, Write it!---A Engaging Hands-on Freebie!

As you may know by now, from Facebook posts or last night's blog post, I was kind of unprepared for my week.  I didn't know how my week would look with state assessing going on....I knew Monday would be normal, so I was good there.  Then Tuesday, I thought I wouldn't have kids--but I did.  So I just went with the flow...I thought I may not have kids Wednesday, but I did--so I just rolled with it.
I made it to today--winging it--so what's the point in having plans with just one day left to go! :)

I mean I have ideas of what I'm doing--
next week will be different.  I got this. 
Back on track, no assessing...normal routine
(Now watch them pull me for make up assessing or monitoring lol)

ANYWAY---
I shared this on FB a few nights ago and I had people message me and ask for a copy.




I thought since I was focusing on their vowel sounds for their spelling patterns this week, 
I would make it a quick little activity to make it more engaging and hands on.

I also have some kiddos that need to work on sentence structure, and handwriting-
so this is a quick way to incorporate those skills as well.

I'm sharing our activity for the oa/ow sound.
Here's how to use it.
Picture cards seen below will need to be cut apart and laminated for durabilty.
*Note the word is also on the picture card. 
 The cards will be placed in the center of the table face down during table time or place in a basket if doing workstations.  Students will each draw a picture card. 

They will place the picture card in the corresponding box on their workmat seen below.
*NOTE:  Laminate the workmats  prior or place them into a sheet protector. 

 They will read the word and spell it aloud. 
Then using magnetic letters, letter tiles, letter beads, pipe cleaner (whatever you use for building words)
students will build their word.  Then they will practice writing their picture word.  You may even choose to have them circle or underline their phonics sound. After they have written their word, students will create a sentence with their picture card.  Repeat this activity with a different card. 

Students will love this activity, and it's great for groups because you can easily assist students one-on-one as the others are working.  You can also use this activity as a game for students.  Students can partner up and one can draw the card and name the word, while the other tries to write it on their own (without seeing it).

If this is an activity you think you could use in your classroom on a regular basis, comment below! :)

  1. This would be great, especially for some of my children struggling with vowel sounds. However, the link goes to spelling songs. :(

  4. In a lease, you're basically leasing the auto for a pre-decided measure of time. Amid that time, you'll need to keep the auto fit as a fiddle and just drive it for an endless supply of miles every year. After your lease is up, you can buy the auto at a lingering cost or begin a lease on another auto. Payday Loans

  5. Still there are the possibilities for the students to regard about such factors and surely these will even bring around the positive results for them. best law school personal statement examples

  6. This is maybe one of the greatest attractions to owning a nitro radio controlled toy. With a typical remote control auto, there's very little support required and you can't generally modify it. You should simply put in batteries for it to run and give it a perfect every so often. usacheckcashingstore.com/corona

  7. Presently, this isn't to say that to remote control autos aren't entertaining. They can get really quick and a few vehicles can do some cool traps. Be that as it may, on the off chance that you need something that is unbelievably quick and permits you to redo as much as you need, consider getting a RC that has a genuine motor. check cashing

  8. In the event that you've been indiscriminately purchasing Japanese or European, right now is an ideal opportunity to consider a local. Also, with GM, Ford and Chrysler storing on impetuses to get vehicles in buyer's garages, a large portion of these autos are relative deals when contrasted with their import reciprocals. www.usacheckcashingstore.com/costa-mesa
