Her post got me thinking about one thing I have done to help with letters, sounds, and sight words. Last year I had a chica tree on my front door and as I introduced the two lettrs of the week, I would put them on the door. I would say "chica chica boom boom, what's the password to our room?" Then, I would point to a letter and the student would have to say the letter and sound to get into the classroom. You could do this with sight words after you get through the alphabet. The kids loved it!! :) Go check out Growing Kinders for more ideas you will love.

I love your blog! I am going to get some large popcycle sticks and make these sight word chants this summer! Love them! thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThat is a brilliant idea! I'm going BIG on the chicka chicka boom boom theme this year and LOVE the password idea.
