Morning Work
By angel49

Clip to ScrapBook   
I used to have morning work. However, I use the time now in Sight Word Groups. My first graders must learn 220 words before the end of the year. I have sectioned my class into groups according to their knowledge. Group One
knows most of their Sight Words on page 1 and are now working on page two.
Those children that have completed their word list and has their name on the Word Wizard Poster helps the lower groups that are struggling. This works out rather well and my students enjoy it. It gives those children which receive no help at home, a chance to learn the words too. After morning opening we do
a quick review of all the words. We play various games using our Word Wall. This helps them in reading and writing. I have seen a major improvement in reading and writing. My extra incentative is giving my students a giant candy bar when they have learned all their Sight Words. This really is a win win situation.
