Slide your Words

My fellow first grade teachers and I have a center called "Slide Your Words". In this center, the kids actually slide words out of envelopes and have to segment while they slide to figure out what the word is. This is what it looks like:

We work on a different sound weekly (vowels, diagraphs, blends) and the words used in the "Slide your Words" center correlate with what we are working on that week. There is also a recording sheet that goes along with this center that is available here.

This center can be good practice at home too!

Here is another link for some of the actual strips that are used with the words and graphics. All you have to do is print on cardstock, laminate, and cut into strips.

Hope this is helpful to you, like it is for us :)
Enjoy!!

New Center

I have been super busy the past couple weeks. Only a week and a half left of my graduate classes and for a minute there I was a bit overwhelmed! My room was looking CRAZY and everyday this week I felt like there was one more thing.. almost forgot the progress reports on Tuesday! Finally got it together in time for a 3 day weekend. This morning I made a little center for the next couple weeks using a new grammar concept we are starting: subjects and predicates.
