Sight Word Centers

5 Centers for 5 Tables


Another Co-Worker and I created Sight Word Centers for our Kindergarten classrooms. Our students learn 4 sight words a week. Along with learning the words the students complete a worksheet that goes with the words. When the students complete the worksheet they then complete their centers.

Roll a Sight Word
In this center the students roll a big dice and then they record which word that their dice lands on each time.


Color By Sight Word
In this center the students use what they know about color words and color the picture that has their new sight words on it.


Write a Sight Word
In this center students use 4 different colors and write each new sight word in different colors.


Sight Word Search
In this center the students search for new and old sight words in newspaper articles.


Spell a Sight Word
In this center the students use magnetic letters and spell out their new words on flash cards.

Not sure if this is for me...

So school started... This will be our second week going to classes. Though I'm not as excited anymore. When I first started I was so stoked and I couldn't wait for it to be here. The day that I found out I was accepted I was so excited and this was what I was finally waiting for but, now that it's here it's not what I dreamed.

For the first thing my friend and I were going to school together so I knew that I would always have her to be my back up and tell me that I CAN get through all the homework and that I CAN do this... But, after the first day of classes she had a change of heart. She decided to switch majors and move on to something else. The next day of classes I thought that I was just feeling bummed from her not being there but, this week I'm still feeling the same. The classes are so boring and I really don't know what I'm learning. It feels like all the teachers do is talk about the same things and just tell us about future projects and basically have us doing BUSY work...

So as of now I'm in a rut... I can withdrawl from my classes BUT... I won't recieve any money back. Though if I decide next semester that I want to move on to something else then this semester would be a waste... I've talked to some people and they all said the first block is soo boring but, it gets better but, I'm just not feeling it.. Something came over me that I was just unsure that I wanted to teach. I love little kids and I always have but, then I realized that when I teach dance to them, it's doing something that I love. I love dance... my friends are all taking dance again this semester and it's really getting to me that I'm not too... I miss it so much. When I took my class last semester that was the most fun that I have had in a really long time and when I got to be on the stage again it was so exciting! That's when I started feeling like I should be doing something that I really love. Maybe I should be going for my degree in dance so I can teach dance at a highschool or college... But, I'm just so unsure right now and I wish that I would have decided this sooner.

FINALS, FINALS, AND YUP More FINALS!!!!!!

Well, to start off on a good note... in just about two weeks school will be done!!!!!! YAY!!!! BUT.... Along with the ending of school that means finals... UGH!!
Tomorrow starts the kick off of finals with Dance... we are only doing part of our final tomorrow and then the rest on the following Tuesday... Though I'm so nervous!
We are doing our across the floor final... normally I LOVE across the floor but, I seemed to have pulled something in my right leg so I can't kick it high anymore :( tonight and tomorrow morning I will have to do some serious stretching! And wouldn't you guess it that in our across the floor combinations we are doing fan kicks, which are where you kick your leg around like a fan, and also battemants which are where you just kick your leg straight up... If I just bite my lip I can manage to kick my leg up! But, not promising that it will look pretty! LoL

So I really hope that I do well, on the final and that I get an A... I have a high A in there right now soo anything lower than an A could drop it down! :( I will post pictures up tomorrow of me doing the final.

SICK OF BEING SICK!!

Ughh... so the past week and a half I've been fighting off a stupid cold! :( Though I deserve to have the cold that I got because I went to Disneyland recently and I went on Splash Mountain 5 million times though that's a different story....
Anyways I'm just starting to feel up to par so I'm updating my blog! :)

TODAY...

TODAY is SUPER Tuesday.... I still need to vote... UGH!!!

My friend went before class today and she said that she waited an hour and a half!!! So I can only imagine what the line will be like today for me when I go after I get off work here... I'm really dreading it!

Anyways today in dance we learned this really weird hard combo that starts on the left side all the time!!!! And I'm not much of a lefty sooo it's a bit difficult for me.. OH and did I mention that it's part of our final?!!? It will be very interesting to see me pull off this one!

I'm really tired now and I want to go home!!!

Hanging around the house....

Sometimes it's fun to just hang around the house and do nothing at all....

Which is what we did the other weekend...

Orrin wasn't feeling to well but, that didn't stop the doggies and I from having some fun!!

Another Bridesmaid!!!!!

This past September I was another Bridesmaid for my friend.

The wedding was nice though it was extremly hot outside!!!!!!!!! I thought that I was going to past out up there standing but, I held it together!

The reception was nice and the food was sooo good. It was some chicken served atop mashed potatoes with veggies and rolls.

Though the greatest part about the wedding was when I caught the bouqet once again!!!!! :) I didn't think that I was going to have any luck but, when I saw the bouqet coming my way I went for it... I remember before going out there Orrin told me if I caught another one he wouldn't know what to do with me but, it must have been tellign him something!! Because... he caught the guarder!!! WELL.... Actually all his friends moved so it was rigged for him to catch it but, still he caught it! :)
