New Centers This Week...Sshhhh Don't Tell My Girls!

I soooo swiped my girls' toys! BUT they have several of them & do not have enough time to play with all their toys...seriously...it's ridiculous.....And I brought one at a time to school & my kids LOVE them! Plus I still have a few that are really SOLIDLY learning the alphabet. It is so sweet to see them working together like angels just because they want to share the Leap book or mini computer, etc...

Here is one of the girls using the gumball machine with sight words. They love this!

Look at these angels soooo focused on what they are doing! Such great kids!

We Love Sight Words!

Yeah for Ebay! I found this gumball machine for $21.50 plus $5 shipping. I can't wait to let the kids try it out! I wrote sight words on decorative vase crystals/rocks like used in a flower arrangement or in an aquarium AND on these cute Target hearts. To keep the words from fading, I sealed with Mod Podge. The kids will turn the knob to release a sight word rock or heart. Then they will record the sight word on a recording sheet. I am a true believer in SAY IT- SPELL IT- SAY IT. Multiple representations friends! I tried out a mini plastic one that came with candy from Dollar General & they did great with it so I think they will do fine with this one too. I just need to find a permanent location for it since it is glass, I don't want any accidents! This baby will be duct taped to a surface!

The clear cups in the background are replacements for my old paper cups that are really worn out----they go in my Word Power Tower can. (See blog here.)
