Sight Word Play Dough Mats Freebie

My student's made these adorable cupcakes and wrote about who they love when we returned back from our track breaks. You can find the cute cupcake template at my friend Kate's TpT store.  The 'I Love...' writing paper was something that I quickly made to finish off our writing lesson.
Have you ever found something on Pinterest and just had to try and make it!?  I found this cute picture of someone dressed up as thing 1 and thing 2 with tutu's...and I REALLY wanted to do that for Nevada Reading Week.  So, I asked my good friend Holly if she could pretty please show me how to make a tutu.  We were so lucky and found what we needed on sale at Hobby Lobby.   When she showed me how simple it was to make it...I was like wow, why haven't I done this before!?  As I made my red and blue tutu, she made a super cute Saint Patrick's tutu for one of her friend's daughter.
I wanted to share something that I made during my track break. I was so excited to make these play dough mats, that I made them for 177 sight words.  Here is a freebie for you to try it out in your class.  Just click on the picture to download the file.  
Have an amazing day!:)

Word Wall Pocket Chart in Action

I just had to share a few pictures of us during writing!  Every since I introduced our word wall pocket chart, the students have been using it non stop when it is time for us to write in our writing journals.  It brings me such joy to see that they are using the words in our word wall pocket chart.  
Here it is in action!  These pictures were taken in January when we were learning about penguins and before we went on our track break.
I've had a few that came up to me to ask for some words that were not on our pocket chart.  I explained that only our sight words would be on the pocket chart and if they were not there we would have to try our best and sound it out. (If you look at my student on the side, she's using our Penguin bubble map to help her write about penguins.)
