So…moving down to 1st means I likely won’t have such great readers as my 2nd graders š My biggest worry {you mean I can’t just say, sit and read quietly while I clean this thing up real fast!?!…life ruined..}!Ā I’ve been asking around and most people are talking about sight words, sight words, SIGHT WORDS!
Maria made pe-typed Dolche List sight words for each grade!
All I had to do was print them on labels {who else is into the label craze!?}, makes life so easy!
Instead of cardstock, I used bright colored index cards that I found at Office Max for $2.
Peel & stick!
I color-coded 4 different levels for my firsties {pre primer, primer, 1st, & 2nd}.
I decided to put the sight word lists on binder rings so that my kiddies can study them in their free timeĀ centers!
I will introduce 5 new sight words each week, so these will also be listed on my Word Wall {that will be another Monday Made It once I get back into my classroom}.
I love love love these & can’t wait for my kiddos get their hands on them!
Speaking of LABEL CRAZE:
I organize my files by standard, so with my grade change, I had to switch my files! You can read about my labels HERE from last week’s Monday Made It!Ā Ā Or you can just click the picture to download them for free if you want em right this very instant š My blog post from last week has more than just 1st grade standards!

GIVEAWAY:
My sweet friend Rebecca, from Darlin’ Little Learners, made this AMAZING product and is allowing me to give it away to one of my readers!
I plan to use this during centers as one of the ways to interact with our Word Wall, just as practice when needed, or as a quick assessment {so many options from one little product}.
Each page has 4 sight words that students have to find, highlight, and write on the line! What kiddo doesn’t love a highlighter!?
For a paper/ink saver, you can print them 4 to a page, front to back & your kiddos have 8 to work on!
Or you can cut them up and you’ve got a center!
You could even put em into page protectors to use again!
If you’d like to win a copy, leave a comment below and don’t forget your email š
The winner will be picked tomorrow morning by Rebecca herself!
Good luck!
Winner has been chosen and emailed!

Wow! What a helpful post! I am also moving from second grade to first and really wanted to focus more on sight words and the word wall. I love your ideas! I also love the highlight and go pack because then the kids have more interaction with the word wall which makes it so much more meaningful! Thank you! jhmondoro@gmail.com
I am also going to have "firsties" in my class next year. I love the highlighter idea, especially when you can get 8 activities on a page! kelly.pulham@silomail.com
I love the neon index cards! I'm totally stealing that idea of just sticking on the labels and then I'm putting those on my word wall… I mean, how fun will the word wall look?!
