Writing Practice

You place a worksheet into a plastic storage bag and have the children use a dry erase marker to practice writing their letters. The great thing about putting into a bag is they can do it over and over again. I found this particular worksheet at www.first-school.ws. They have the whole alphabet in this format.

B is for......

BIRDBATH

to make the birdbath you hot glue a cup and a small plate together.



I have the children practice their B sounds by saying the word and then placing the birds with pictures of items that start with the letter B into their birdbathes.



I found these pictues at www.themailbox.com but you need to have a subscription to their magazine to accesss that part of their site. I found the benefits of this magazine to be priceless!




These are the ones I had the children make using punkydoodle shapes(I love these) and some pictures I found at http://www.first-school.ws/

Find It Bottles

1. I have a son who runs track and drinks several powerades a week. I took the powerade bottles and cleaned them out, removed the label and let them dry.

2. Once dry I reused the rice from the water table and filled the bottles almost full. Leaving an inch of space near the top.

3. I found different buttons at Micheals and added them to the bottle.

4. Print up clues to find each button in the bottle, laminate, and attach with ribbon or yarn

5.. Hot glue lid closed or don't and you can guess what could happen!
