CVC Activity

In my room I do not like to keep my kindergarten students sitting for a very long periods of time. This group I have are very "antsy" and have to be up and moving and switching around a lot. We are working on first sound fluency and being about to sound out three letter and four letter words and form them together. I found a set of letters on Pinterest and printed out four sets of them, so that I could have smaller groups. I gave the students a word and they had to sound out the word and then find the letters to the word.

Once they had found the letters, they had to stand up and determine how to arrange them. This seemed to be the most challenging part for them. They seemed to be unsure which way the letters were suppose to go. We practiced it a few times and some of the groups caught on and some still struggled. The students had fun with this activity.

Not only was it working on sound out words and forming them together, but teaching them to work in a group and as a team.

 

 

 

I had the students hold the letters at their stomachs, so the other students could compare.

I would recommend printing your letters on card stock and then laminating for durability.

 

Happy Learning!!!!!

CVC Activity

I came across this activity on The Teacher's Treasure Chest. I thought it was a really neat idea for those students who are learning their CVC words.

I bought the activity and printed everything out. I cut it all apart and had it laminated for durability. When putting it together the way the directions said seemed like it was flimsy and would not stand up the way I felt it should. So, at that time I had an SMSU student in my room and we came up with pitting it in a three ring binder. This way it protected it, but also gave it more of a hard surface to work on. I also found the cards weren't flapping around and shifting side to side.

So this is what Paige and I came up with.

This is what the outside of the binder looked like.

This is what the inside looked like. If you notice I still kept the ring holders around the cards so they could easily flip, but I taped down the CVC Word Flip Chart sign. In the top pocket of the binder I put in the sheet that tells the students what each color means.
