Literacy Stations

I was so excited when I checked my stats page for the blog today.  It has reached over 1000 page views!  Thanks for visiting!

Here are pictures of the literacy stations students are currently completing:

This station may look a little familiar.  It is similar to the station students completed last week.  This time students searched the room for the matching lowercase letters hidden around the room.  When students found a letter they wrote it on their paper beside the matching capital letter.  Finally, they colored their letter to match the color of the letter on the wall.

Letters were posted on walls, shelves, and filing cabinets.  

At the truck station students sorted capital and lowercase letters of various fonts.  Students placed the letters on the correct coconut tree (H, C, K or B).  

After completing the letter font sort, students completed their own recording sheet.  Students cut and glued the letters on the appropriate coconut tree.  

At this station students are practicing popcorn words.  Students select a card programmed with a popcorn word.  They then read the word and find it on their paper.  Students trace it and then write it on their own.  Finally, they color the person beside their word to match the color of the card they selected.  

The letter search, letter font sort, and popcorn word practice stations were created by Julie Lee at http://mrsleeskinderkids.blogspot.com

For this station students have their own box filled with magnet letters a-z.  Students select a letter from the box and place it on the tray beside the matching letter.  Students could either match capital letters to capital letters, lowercase letters to lowercase letters, or capital letters to lowercase letters.  

Finally they completed their recording sheet.  They wrote the letter to match their magnet letter.  This student matched capital magnet letters to the capital letters on their tray.  

This station is the same as last week!  Students selected three different new friends.  First they find their friend's clothespin name in the basket.  They take off the clothespins and replace them in the correct order.  The names are written on the popsicle stick to help them match the letters correctly.  Students find their friends picture and glue it in the picture frame.  Finally, they write their friends name in the box.  

I will be posting pictures of math stations very soon!  Please check back!
