I created this product because I wanted a more meaningful connection between sight words and home!
I sent home a binder ring in a ziploc to each child. I stressed the importance (to both parents and students) of keeping this ring in a SAFE spot because we would be using it throughout the year. I added in the alphabet for letter identification and letter sounds too.
Each week in my kindergarten class we cover 4 letters a week. I placed those 4 letters in baggies and put them in each child's homework folder.
TIP: Instead of cutting out the letters individually, then sorting them, then stapling, stack them together, cut them out and then staple! (a, b, c, d and then staple!) I found this out AFTER the fact!
Each sight word belongs to a certain list. Here are the sight words included in my packet.
Red
list: I, see, a, the, like
Orange: my,
it, is, can, and
Yellow: me, you, look, yes, no
Green:
he, she, go, play, are
Blue: to, put, get, have, said
Purple: we, for, has, here, some
Pink:
in,
do, had, with, come
Brown: on,
up, this, what, want
Any time they pass off that sight word, they get to color their kernel in their binder ring that color specific color.
What I love about the ring is they can practice their sight words on the go! In the car, in the check out line, really anywhere!
I have laminated full sets of the sight word ring to use as fast finishers.
