Conference Time!

Hi Friends,
This is the time of year that most of us are having conferences, so I thought I would share a few pictures of how I set up a little area outside my classroom for parents and kids to enjoy while waiting for their conference.  

I bought this wooden chalkboard at Hobby Lobby on sale for $35.

This is the what the table looks like outside my classroom.

I display a couple of our class books on easels.  

I put out a tub of our class books for parents to enjoy.

I also like to put out some fun activity sheets for the kids to complete.

Halloween Writing Activity

Hi Friends,
Here's a fun writing activity that a teacher across the hall from me did with her students.  

The mummy is covered with masking tape.

Sight Words

Hi Friends,
Here's another use for those mini photo albums you can buy at the Dollar Store. I fill them with sight words.  It's easy for kids to turn the pages and it's harder to lose the word cards.  I just take out the ones they learn and replace them with new words. 

I found these albums at the Dollar Store.

I popped in a picture of each student for the cover.

I used a 4 X 6 index card to write the words.

Sometimes I put word and a sentence with the word.
