Once upon a time, I was a student teacher in first grade. I loved every minute of it. I think if I ever went down to the lower elementary grades, first would be it. I worked with an amazing mentor teacher, and still use a lot of the tips and tricks she taught me in my room today. :)
One of many things I picked up from my days in Room 604 was was a Halloween themed sight word game we played with our first graders with their Kindergarten inventory words, Trick or Treat.
All of their kindergarten sight words, or as our district calls them inventory words, were put in a pumpkin with a handful of trick or treat cards. As students play, they grab a card from the pumpkin, if they can read it, they get to keep it. BUT if they get a trick or treat card, they either get a chance for more cards (treat) or loose cards to the pumpkin or another classmate (trick). The student with the most cards at the end of the game is the winner. :)
My fourth graders this year have some pretty low fluency scores, so I've been purchasing/creating resources to use during our ELA intervention block (about ten-fifteen minutes) to use with my class. So I created a bigger kids version of the game my firsties loved so much when I was a student teacher.
We played a few rounds as a whole class the past few days and my fourth graders LOVED it. They are so pumped to play in small groups during our ELA intervention time over the next few weeks. Especially the treat cards, they loved collecting as many cards as they could. :)
We've been working with the 4th One Hundred Fry Words, but this resource includes games pieces for the 3rd and 5th One Hundred Fry Words as well. If you're interested, I have added Trick or Trick {Fry Word Game for Bigger Kids} to my Teachers Pay Teachers store. It's on sale until midnight tomorrow, 10/18. :) Just click on the cheerleader to check it out! :)
I've also had a couple people email about how I store my Halloween Themed Graphic Organizers that I blogged about a few weeks ago. I just put them in a binder like so.
Then I put the binder in the tub I keep my seasonal books in for easy access. My kiddos having been loving the extra practice with various comprehension strategies and story elements, and I have too. :)
We also started our Boo Ha Ha center rotation today! So grateful for the sweet grandma of one of my kiddos who assembles all my centers for me! :)
I hope you are having a great night friends! :) The weekend is in sight! :)
