Sight Word Pointers

So I am going through boxes and boxes of things in my garage and I came across these poor souls. 

Boy have they seen better days.  These were something I created a couple of years ago.  I think it's time to replace them.  A few days ago I saw these on Pinterest.   Click on the pic to go to Kinderdi's blog to see other fun sight word ideas.

 

My old ones are made with foam and I used glitter glue to write the words.  Her's are on cardstock.  She laminated them and taped them to the back of the stick.

Here's a pic  of what I came up with.  I only printed the first 2 pages, my ink is running out, but I plan to use other colors than what I have pictured.  All I did was print them out, laminate them, and tape the wooden stick to the back.  Hopefully they will last, if not, I can always print more.

I used the sight words that my district uses in the language arts adoption.  I think I will put them in my pointer can as we learn them.

Let's read those sight words...

Or let's CHANT, SING, DRIBBLE and SHOOT, and CHEER!!!

Are you looking for something different to do with your sight words, word wall words, star words, or popcorn words? 

I stumbled upon Growing Kinders post on her sight word chants idea and I just had to make one for my classroom.  She has the name of the chant and a description listed to print out.  All you need to do is glue them on a Popsicle stick.  Check her's out here or visit her site. She has tons of great ideas.

Here is what I came up with.  All I did was cut them out and glue them on and Ta Da...I have a new Sight Word Chant bucket.  I think that the kids are gonna love it!

OH - I almost forgot!!!

The green can comes from the Target Dollar Spot!

 If you want my can label click on the picture below.  I made 2 different ones.

She also has a really neat password printout.  I did this last year and the kids really enjoyed it.  I put it on the outside of my door and  I had them whisper it into my ear as they walk in the door.  It is pretty quick so it doesn't take away from learning time.

Whew...what a weekend!

This past weekend was an eventful one!  We had a garage sale Saturday to get rid of some junk and then my little one came down with a stomach bug...that kept us pretty busy.  She is much better today and I am finally able to have some time to sit down and blog.  

So...for all of you that have Scott Foresman's Reading Street...


I made some sight word cards in different fun fonts.  My plan is to cut out the uncolored ones and glue them onto colored index cards for my word wall...to jazz it up a bit.  The colored ones will be printed on cardstock and put up on the wall for a fun read around the room spot.  (Not sure where that will go --it's all in my head at this point)  I didn't put the border around it... but if you like what you see and want to print some for yourself and would like the border around the cards just comment below and I can fix it up.

 I also added a Word Wall book where they can write all their words in.  I had planned to use this closer to the end of the year but never got around to it.  It could also be used to copy other subjects word wall words.  Like science words and math words too.

Here is what they look like on index cards...not sure if they will go on the word wall yet or on my password board.  Guess I need to make another set.
