Monday was my
first workshop of 2013 in Kingsland, GA.
Not only does Kingsland have one of the best football programs in the
state of Georgia, Kingsland (Camden County) also has some of the greatest teachers!! You’ll love their ideas.
Criss Cross (Amanda Rector)
Criss cross,
applesauce. (Children sit cross
legged.)
Spoon in the
bowl. (Children put their hands in
their lap because
it’s like a bowl and they eat applesauce
with a spoon.)
Horsing around
with Sight Words (Christy Cobb)
Children turn
their chair around so they can “ride their horses.” They rock in the chair gently back and forth as they read
each word. They get to say,
“Yeehaw!” at the end of the row.
“IF” the horse bucks them off (that happens when they tip their chair too
far), their horse has to go back to the corral and they have to sit on the
floor.
Disney World
Grand Finale
This cheer is the
same as the firecracker except you clap more in the air and then “sparkle”
down.
Jello Bags (Diane Daniel)
Fill ziplock bags
with jello or pudding. The
students use these as their “white board.” When finished, they can gobble up!
Chocolate
Pudding Finger Painting (Diane
Daniel)
Finger paint with
chocolate pudding on waxed paper.
Children can also practice writing, spelling words, etc. When they are finished they can lick
their fingers ‘til they drop!
Good Job Cheer
You know you did a
good job. (Point to a child.)
So say you did a
good job.
You know you did a
good job.
So say you did a
good job.
Good job! (Clap hands.)
Good job!
Give yourself a
pat on your back. (Reach across
body and pat back.)
Friendly Word (Bernita
Payton)
Study sight words
with a small group of students. If
a child misses a word, write the word on a piece of tape and have that child
place the tape on their desk.
During the day, frequently ask the student to read their friendly
word. When the student is able to read
their friendly word they are allowed to wave bye-bye to the word and toss it in
the trash.
I’m off to Raleigh
and Charlotte to do workshops, but I’ve got some blogs coming your way
while I’m gone.
