This little blog of mine sure has been neglected.
As I told you, I am not in the classroom at present.
I do miss all the fun that goes with having a class.
For part of the day, when I'm not teaching Reading Recovery, I teach lots of different classes.
I have been doing a Science Unit about Space with my classes. I will be posting this unit on TPT soon.
As well I have a fun freebie that I will be posting for you, so don't give up on me!!
I wanted to show you my sounds / come writing activity that I did with my Kinders last year.
I call it Sounds Words Sentences.
The purpose behind this activity is to show my little learners the big picture when learning sounds.
Starting with a 'mystery sentence' we find a word beginning with a letter and then the sound in that word.
I have a mystery sentence to go with each letter of the alphabet.
I laminate the words for the sentence and cut them up.
I put magnetic tape on the back and use it on the big magnetic board. You could also do this with a pocket chart.
It becomes an interactive lesson where we reconstruct the jumbled mystery sentence.
I use this as an opportunity to do some explicit teaching about sentence structure, ie capitals, spaces, and punctuation.
My students do a worksheet where they practise writing the letter and the word.
Then they do the scrambled mystery sentence.
I made some alphabet charts and my students used these to write some more words that begin with the sound.
You can see my little one using the word chart below.
I made a version of this activity which is available on TPT.
I cannot include the Word Charts because some of the clip art I used is for personal use only.
If you are interested, my Sounds Words Sentences pack is available at TPT HERE
It will be on sale for 2 days.
If you are a teacher from NSW and would like this pack in NSW Foundation font, you can email me after you purchase it and I will send it to you.
