Fried Red Words in Action!

Free download & original post here. I wish I could say I had more pictures of this activity but after it got going it was absolute chaos!!! I had to keep my hands out of the way. The kids were very into this & so excited!!! They were literally stealing the eggs out from under each other's hands. I finally had to include a rule to start with their hands on their head & when I called the word they could grab.
Games like this are absolutely amazing to watch! I mean I know my kids are awesome but this shows me face to face the 46 words they have learned already! Readiness standards only expect kindergarteners to read 25 high frequency words & they have totally blown that out of the water! We are aiming for 63 by the end of the year.

So proud of these amazing kids!!! I have been so blessed to have such an extraordinary group of kids!!! Very grateful!

Fried Red Eggs

I always find the most fabulous ideas on Pinterest and excitedly click on the link only to discover the description of course failed to mention it is a Teacher's Pay Teachers product that sadly is not free....this one I just could not resist making my own according to my students needs. I just used images & word to create these "Fried Red Eggs". We use SFA for teaching reading & writing along with Cscope. These are the red sight words we are learning. Here is the link to my Google documents for a FREE download!!! Just call out the red word & the first student to flip it over (I plan to use spatulas like I saw on Pinterest) gets to add it to their stack- the one with the most wins. This would work best in small groups. :) Can't wait to print & laminate & get started!!! Here is a snapshot:
