Literacy Stations

Hello Parents!  Thanks for stopping by!  I hope this blog is helping you to stay better informed of some of the activities your child is completing in our classroom.  Here are some of the literacy stations your child completed this week:

Car Station: Students completed a letter search.  Their job was to take their clipboard and find letters posted throughout our classroom.  After students found the letter, they wrote the letter on their recording sheet and colored their letter to match the color of the letter on the wall.  

Here is an example of a completed recording sheet.  

Students loved taking their clipboard and walking around the room to find the letters!

This station is from Julie Lee and Deanna Jump's School is Fun Unit on Teachers Pay Teachers.  

Here is a link to Julie Lee's blog: Mrs. Lee's Kindergarten.  She teaches Kindergarten in Alabama and her blog is full of great ideas!  

Truck Station:  Students completed Flip Flop Alpha-Bop.  For this station students found the matching  flip flops.  

Students then wrote the capital and lowercase letter found on the flip flops on their recording sheets.  They also colored their flip flops to match.  

This is another station from Julie Lee and Deanna Jump's School is Fun Unit on Teachers Pay Teachers. 

Mail Carrier: Students completed Colors in the Coconut Tree.  For this station students select a coconut tree and "read" the color word.  The words have been color coded to match the color of the tree.  

They then find the color word on their paper and trace the word with the appropriate crayon.  Finally, they color the coconut tree on their paper to match.  

Train Station: Students completed the Letters in My Name Sort.  For this station students cut the letters of the alphabet out and glued them on the T-Chart on the appropriate side.  

Smiley Face = Letters in my Name

Sad Face = Letters not in my Name

Caboose Station: Students completed My New Friends activity.  For this station, students select a popsicle stick with a picture of one of their new friends on the end.  Students take the clothespins off the stick and practice matching the letters and spelling their friends name by placing them back in the correct order.  They then find their friends picture, cut it out, and glue it on their paper.  Finally they write the name on their paper.  This was another favorite this week!
