Text of the page (random words):
r you ll need to place the sheet protectors in the binder and add the velcro dots on the flaps to keep them secure you can see this in the picture below this protects the materials from falling out this step may not be required to contain the items but if you re like me super clumsy it may be worth the extra precaution next you can label each pocket any way that makes it easy for you i simply numbered the pockets 1 20 with a sharpie this way i just have to remember what day of the set i m on and i can pull out the materials as i need them you can sort of see my numbers on the bottom left of each pocket in this picture after that you ll just have to use the sheets included in the ww sets that sequence the lesson days shown in the side pocket below to organize the pieces for example i put all of the cards for day 1 sentences rhyming words beginning sounds ending sounds etc in one pocket so when the time comes i just grab them from the binder and put them up on the bulletin board for the lesson then afterwards i just place them back into the pocket and that is that i can t stress enough how easy this makes this program you will never stress over this part of your day because it will be so simple you will not regret taking the time to do this i promise i hope this helps all of you wonderful teachers that have requested organizing information if this isn t thorough enough i ll be happy to elaborate more just leave me a comment god bless posted by teacher toni at 8 33 pm 7 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday july 24 2014 grab a free poster set very suddenly my life has gone into a whirlwind of excitement not only have i already had great success with my word works daily on tpt but my school district has now made it mandatory that all kindergarten teachers in our county use it i knew it would benefit my students so much but i didn t really comprehend the effect it could have on our entire district i m so excited can someone please pinch me they are providing all of us with every material needed to implement it this school year yay i am just so blessed that my great friend mrs grigsby found such an interest in it she is our reading specialist and she just radiates mounds of experience and awesomeness any time she is around if you re reading this mrs grigsby thank you i love you 3 there is also another purpose for great excitement but i can t spill those beans just yet i feel like i should pay it forward and offer some kindness to others so here you go for the next 24 hours i have my bright scalloped alphabet posters listed as free right now on my tpt store this will change tonight so grab yours now leave me a comment and tell me what you think here is the link free alphabet posters god bless everyone thank you for the continued support posted by teacher toni at 5 53 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest saturday july 19 2014 word works daily see the routine here i remember so clearly the incredible sense of fear and happiness i felt when i found out that i was going to be a kindergarten teacher i felt so blessed to be among the few people i graduated with that actually found a job that summer i also felt a distinct need to grow a beard obtain a fake passport and fly to a remote island to escape my fears of teaching a grade level i knew nothing about it was weird bipolar moment for sure where am i going with this bored of my yapping yeah me too so the point i m trying to make is this it would have been nice to see some kindergarten teaching in action that is why when i created this resource ww daily i knew i wanted to demonstrate it for those newbies that may not know what in the world to do with something like this so here it is me my deep mountain accent and six incredible kids that i taught at summer school this year this isn t a true representation of a full classroom i had 27 darlings this past year but it does show the routine i definitely could have benefited from this when i first began hope you enjoy leave me a comment and tell me what you think posted by teacher toni at 5 59 pm 4 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest saturday july 12 2014 word works daily reading skills routine for kindergarten win it wow wow wow it has been a busy time i haven t blogged in 4 ev er i really don t have time now with working at summer school every day preparing for another year of kindergarten and trying to take a breather while it is summer but some things have to be shared this is it my baby is ready to enter the world no i m not pregnant as much as i wish i m referring to my reading skills routine baby this is her isn t she gorgeous click on any image to visit her on teachers pay teachers this is the beginning of a revolution in reading skills practice we test over these skills we know their importance in a child s ability to read but do we really give them the attention they deserve on a daily basis i didn t and i m not ashamed to admit it okay maybe just a little but i do have an excuse my excuse is i didn t have the resources or the know how to incorporate these skills daily but after many months of pondering creating and prayers i m here here is a little more explaining here are some close ups of some of the skills that are included in set 1 word counting word discrimination when using this portion i don t show the sentence at first i read it to the students they repeat it and then count the words students ten put their thumb up if the know the answer i then choose a child to demonstrate before allowing them to come to the front and putting up the number card we read the sentence while i point to the words and then we go back and count the words rhyming word recognition and production this seems easy but for beginning kinders it is not in order to master the skill of rhyming it has to be encountered over and over again with this much exposure students will definitely get the hang of it further continuing practice internalizes those abilities even further when completing this component i remind students what rhyming words are and even ask for students to recall i then say find the word that rhymes with and put up my picture card they then raise their thumbs when they recognize it sometimes depending on the abilitiy levels and the pictures i will dictate the choices after a child has identified the answer we sing a song with the two words inserted and then i ask for volunteers to produce other words that rhyme with the identified word syllable blending this component is referred to as what s the word in set 1 it begins as syllable blending as students progress this will progress into phoneme blending as shown in the picture it begins with two posted graphics when students are listening i then dictate the word i want them to choose as syllables for example i would say zip per the students would then raise their thumb and i would choose a child to come up and place the correct picture in the box to take this a step further i would then say okay let s try another without any pictures what word do you hear now trac tor this ensures that students are getting practice without the extra scaffolding that the pictures offer and that higher performing students are being challenged a little more counting syllables segmentation counting syllables is a student favorite in my summer school class during this practice i first reveal the word by putting up the card i say the word students repeat they clap it out and chin count they then know to hold up their thumb i choose a student to demonstrate the clapping and counting and they get to come up and add the number next to the picture i do take this skill a step further by asking them to produce other words with two syllables beginning sound recognition in this part i simply have the two pictures on the bottom already up when we get to this section i then reveal the first word hand i do slow down the first sound for students to hear if they need this extra help and then dictate the other two words when students get better at the skill they won t need that they then identify the right word and i have them come up after that we go around and produce other words that begin with that sound h in this instance ending sound recogntion this part is identical to beginning sound recognitoin except for ending sounds becuase this skill is a little tougher we do slap out the sounds of the words on our arm first sound is near the shoulder second sound in the elbow last sound on the wrist we catch that last sound and then test the other words to see which has the same ending sound once students get a solid understanding of this skill we discontinue the slapping out part my product is very unique i know this because i searched for something like it to use in my classroom and nothing surfaced after using it in my summer school classroom i know its abilities and have seen a difference in my students would you like to have a free copy if so follow my blog and comment with your thoughts and e mail and i ll choose three lucky winners to get this first set for free right in time for the new school year you ll only be required to tell me about your endeavors with it i ll choose the winners on july 18th and notify you

one of my biggest infatuations with the teaching profession was before i graduated college decorating my own classroom door i literally could not wait i can hear the tenured teachers laughing and rolling out of their chairs this very second i basically daydreamed about my plans to cover my door with magnificent décor when i finally landed my own door i would have the most lavish decorations imaginable yep that was my plan and i had it all figured out well guess what college kids that plan was quickly aborted sometime around august the 1st real life set in within the blink of an eye and former ideas passed away when you have been in a classroom with 27 rambunctious little ones all day staying after school with a huge roll of paper and a hot glue gun isn t as lovely as it once sounded especially when you are relied on to provide the sole foundation of their entire learning experience within one school year not to mention common core standard aligned lesson planning new teacher training and countless ours of pd and program review shew the last thing on my mind now is the flimsy paper hanging from my door but regardless of my new grudge against the act of door decorating i still find it to be an important aspect to my job it is not something i m paid to do but something worth putting the effort into for the betterment of my classroom environment the door facing is what welcomes my students into their classroom it is something they walk by every day on the way in and on the way out why would it not be important to make this an appealing aspect of our classrooms so yeah i somehow manage within all the craziness to put my big girl britches on and get it done so today i m sharing my favorite doors from my first year of teaching i worked hard on them whether i enjoyed the time involved or not i m proud to say not one of them went unappreciated by the little ones that this door closes in every day that is the most important thing anyway right 3 this is my very first door of the year from the time i still had that glimmer in my eye that represented a complete misunderstanding and underestimation of what the real life of a teacher is like lol this door went along with our looney tunes theme i had buggs bunny a childhood favorite i really enjoyed preparing it for my new kinders and even had some help from a great teacher friend that was an exciting time for me and a time when i had not the slightest idea about what i was actually getting in to this is a door for our red ribbon drug free theme i found the skeletons at the dollar general for 1 a piece score i made the slogan up from there then this next idea spawned from that and everyone loved it especially my students we re not boneheads we re drug free i joked with my co workers that this is a picture of me from when i was a few pounds lighter lol as if putting my students heads on skeletons wasn t cute enough we did this next i made a template for them to create their own penguin and put their little heads on those too cute waddling into winter is a theme i found online but i just decided to put my own little twist on it it lasted me from november to around february here is the student favorite door of the year one parent walked by my room and announced you know you just turned your whole room into a circus fun house right yeah she was right every day i left it up for them was a wild day lol even though we had a ton of snow during the months of january february and march i still managed to get up a quick lorax door for dr seuss week yay here is my door right now we are testing next week and our kick off theme is disney i quickly decided on disney s up in my opinion it is one of the best films of all time animated or not i love the slogan some friends helped me to develop we re flying up to distinguished yeah buddy so that is a glimpse at some door decorating action from this past year i wonder if i ll find the time or energy to put effort into one more before summer we ll see i guess god bless posted by teacher toni at 4 25 pm 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday april 14 2014 free cvc center rattle roll read mondays are tough no primary teacher could look you straight in the eye and deny it so i m hoping to brighten your first day back after a short and restless weekend just a bit personally nothing brightens my day better than finding a great free resource online that i can use with my students it is like instant smiley emoticon truly so i m spreading the love on this manic monday this is a center that i introduced to my students a few weeks ago and they really seem to enjoy it i call it rattle roll read you will need cheap foam dice one color for consonants different color for vowels i heard dollar tree has them but i got mine from a math training cups dollar tree printer lamination if desired so i initially began writing random letters on the dice until i realized the possibility that a bad word may pop up i could just here 27 astonished gasps filling the atmosphere it would be tragic for my center management skills ha so i very tenderly thought about my letters and left out any bad word inducing combinations that i could think of after i had my letters written on the cubes center cards ...
