Cut, Do and Glue (Freebie)

Hello there!  Renee here from Fantastic First Grade Froggies.  How is your school year going so far?  I really do have a dream class in the behavior department.  I love these kind of years.  One thing I have noticed is that I have quite a few students who still have a hard time cutting things out.  I've been trying to incorporate fine motor skills into my word work:

With this activity, the students have to build their popcorn words with letter beads.  I have also been having them cut something out everyday and really having them focus on staying on the lines.  In math, I have been putting some Cut, Do and Glue activities in their math tubs.  These are a great way to practice math and cutting.  Here are the ones I have so far:

In honor of football season, I have made an addition freebie for you to try out:

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Fun with Phonics

I thought I would share something fun with Phonics with you all today.  The first one is actually new on my blog.  Years ago I made Flip Books out of Index cards to help my struggling students practice CVC words. Each column had a different letter of the alphabet starting with a going all the way to z.  I did the vowels in red so they would stand out.  This also worked perfectly to practice nonsense words to make sure students knew the vowel sound!

I would also like to share with you my Phonics Football Blast freebie.  This game has a fun twist to it.  After students read the CVC or CVCe word they pick as many footballs as they want for points.  They must be careful as if they pick a 0 they lose all points from all rounds!  Click the picture to pick it up in my TPT store.  If you download it, I would appreciate some kind feedback.

Hop on over and be a follower if you like what you see!

See you again in August!
