In recent weeks I have been thinking about different ways to incorporate sight word practice into our daily routines. After we finished unit 2 in Reading Street I wanted to be sure the kids keep the sight words from this unit fresh as we move on to the next unit. I created this "Back to the Hive" sight word game that includes all the sight words introduced in unit 2.
I'm happy to say my firsties love this game. It's their first choice when they go to this word work station. As I am doing guided reading I often look over to make sure the kids are engaged and all I see are smiles on their faces as they play this game. They love reading the sight words and find it so funny when they get a back to the hive card and are forced to put all their cards back.
The other day I looked over to see two of my kiddos playing the game and pretending to eat honey from the hive on the game board after they correctly read a word. My heart swelled when I saw this... kids at this age are so precious! They love school and are so excited by anything new I introduce in the classroom. We seriously have the best job ever!!
Happy weekend! Mine will be spent prepping some new math stations for the coming weeks!
