Word Family Kits

WORD FAMILY KITS @ TPT STORE


I was trying to think of a way to organize my word work station as well as my homework. I found a bunch of empty DVD cases  and thought, wouldn't it be great if I could put an activity inside and send them home with the kids. It's like having a portable word work station to send home.
  Each word family kit contains a word family wheel and activity sheet. Students can spin the wheel (cd) and record the different words they make. Then they choose 5 of those words and illustrate them. On the back of the paper they can use each word in a sentence or write a story using their words.
  You can go to Amazon.com and buy a bulk supply of slim DVD cases for a reasonable price. Use your old CDs or DVDs to create word wheels.  
    If you don't want to print out the pre-programmed wheels, you can write the word family letters on the CD and case with a sharpie.
   Hop on over to our TPT store and check it out! 
                                                                


If you like the word family kits, we also have Math Fact Kits. Great for math homework or your math stations!  Click here for the ADDITION KIT.      Click here for the SUBTRACTION KIT.

Colorful Cups

If you make a stop at Target's Dollar Spot you will see these colorful tin buckets. I thought they would be great to store my extra supplies in at the back of the classroom. The only problem is, I knew students would end up knocking them over and supplies would be flying everywhere. Thats when I thought I could screw them into a board and they would stay in one spot!  Super cheap and super cute!
