Welcome & Fluency Games

Welcome to The First Grade Sweet Life!  I am SO excited to be joining the First Grade blogging community! I have LOTS to learn, but what better way to learn than to jump right in? At least that's what I tell my Firsties :)

I am constantly on the prowl for new ideas to use with my students, so if you see something I'm working on and you have ideas, please share!!!!! I'd LOVE to hear from you! 

To get started, I thought I'd share a couple of fluency games.  (The games correlate to the sound spelling relationships taught in Open Court Unit 5, but if you don't use Open Court, you can still use the games to help your kiddos practice certain sound spelling patterns!) For you non-Open Court people, I've stated which sound spelling patterns are in each game for ya :)

ribbit!
(/j/ spelled 'ge' and 'gi_', long 'e' spelled 'e', 'e_e', 'ee', and 'ea')


                               Happy Sunday!

Great idea! Even third graders would love this game during work stations. Thanks for sharing.

I'd love it if you could check out my new blog for third grade. I'm just getting started but hopefully you'll find an idea or two you can use as well.

Thanks, Kelley

Welcome to the First Grade Sweet Life! Your enthusiasm for joining this First Grade blogging community is evident in your introductory blog post. The eagerness to learn and share ideas with like-minded teachers is a great way to create an environment of support and collaboration.

In such spirit of cooperation, just as you are doing with your blog community, services such as lockout service manhattan come in handy when sudden problems occur. It is about the common goal of supporting others that is seen in either educational or daily life matters.
