I came across these shoes on another blog and just had to have them. When I received them, they came in a milk carton box that was just ADORABLE!!! The school shoes look like they don't belong together, but they really do. Check them out!
Did I mention how comfy they are?!?!?! They look good with jeans or capris.

Besides playing sigh word UNO, my students love playing Tower of Language. It's the same concept of Jenga, but you have to read a word on the block before the student gets to keep it. With my students I normally don't take it. I help them sound out the word. For some reason, the students love it when they knock over the tower, they bust out in giggles and then want to set it up again and play it again.
This one is the word families, but they also have a sight word one and a couple of others.
Hen te tower falls and they all start laughing. Brings music to my ears. Also, after all the moves have been done, you rebuild the tower and continue to play.
Happy Learning,

Sorry for not posting lately. I've been coaching track and soccer and it's been really busy. Along with all the Evaluation reports, IEP's and the referrals for the younger students that come in.
I found this activity awhile ago and I honestly don't remember if I got it off a blog or another site. The students love it and like running around the room looking for the lily pads that have the same ending of the card they have in their hand.
This activity has many different word endings, lily pads and frogs. There must be over a 100 word family cards. If I find it again, I will post the link on here.
I start out with handing the students a card and have them sound it out to me. Once they say the word they move on to finding the word around the room. I will lay the lily pads on the floor along with putting them in sneaky places for the older students. You might also have some of the younger students put them on the wrong lily pads, but you just have to correct them and make sure they understand that they need to look at the endings and talk about what words may go with the ending they put their card on the lily pad.
Here are some pictures of what the activity looks like.
Happy Learning
