Sight Word Sentences

Last year I was visiting in a kindergarten class.

The teacher had made this project. 

The students were to reconstruct the story 

using the words at the bottom of the page. 

On a large piece of paper they glued

the story and then each word to 

repeat the story.

The teacher also had them build sentences in a pocket chart.

She used the CTP sight word books for her stories.

Well, now you can do that too.

All the work has been done for you in the new 
Cut and Paste Sight Word Sentences.

To see sample pages from this book go to

www.creativeteaching.com.

Search for product number 7180.

Click on the image of the book. Then click on sample pages. 

Pages 4 and 5 give complete directions for using the book.

The cut and paste activities in the book are based on

the books in the Sight Word series by CTP.

First, you duplicate a page for each child in your group.

Together you practice reading the sight words at the

bottom of the page.

Next, they cut out the words and paste them in order

at the bottom of the picture. 

The asterisk and period help them find the first and last words.

Then, they copy the words in the correct order 

on the lines provided.

Finally, they draw and color the picture.

So there you have it! All the work is done for you!

You have one more way to practice sight words.

We know that practice makes perfect!!

Going on a Field Trip

You can tell you have been around teaching too long 

when the month of May brings thoughts of Field Trips!

Yesterday was a beautiful day.

A friend called and asked if I wanted to go to

the Dallas Arboretum to see the

Chihuly Exhibit.

I didn't know what that was but 

it sounded like a field trip to me.

So five of us took off in her SUV.

I knew we were in the right place when 

I saw a few dozen school buses and 

about a thousand kids in 

different colored matching shits.

I recognize a field trip when I see one!

Dale Chihuly is an artist in glass blowing. 

 At the Arboretum he incorporated his art 

with the beautiful gardens of blooming plants. 

It was like a whimsical fairy tale garden. 

Read about his life and work at the CBS link below. 

 His eye patch adds to the fairy tale.

The picture below is one I took yesterday.  

That is White Rock Lake in the background

and Chihuly glass floating in the boats. 


Remember...this is all glass!

To see all of my Chihuly field trip play the Smilebox below.
The glass creations are unbelievable. 

Be sure to turn on the sound.

This field trip was so much fun.

Maybe I will plan another one next week. 

School will be out soon.

Are you counting the days yet??
