I made 6 pages of letter fluency as a reading station next week. My students this year love to work with clothespins and timers!!! I have 3 pages of lowercase letters and 3 pages of capital letters that I will add to the fluency station. We are working on identifying 100 letters in a minute. This is very overwhelming for some of the class. I have pages with 100 letters on them, but I have added pages with less letters so the students can feel successful. The students also love to have choices! I have put pre-decodable and decodable readers in the station so they have a variety. All of the choices do require a timer so they are practicing their fluency.
If you are interested, you can find my station here at Tpt!!!!
My class loves to play Roll, Say, Keep, so I made 4 new math games for them. I have Numbers 1-120, Addition, Subtraction, and Counting Objects to 50. I like my students to be able to help each other, so I let them ask for help during the game. Since this gives everyone the chance to earn the same amount of cards, I always add +1(take another turn), -1(lose one card), +2(take 2 extra turns), and -2(put 2 cards back) cards to the game. My students love these extra cards. They get so happy when they pick one. I am excited to have these new games because it gives me the chance to really differentiate my station. I can have a group of students working on number identification and another group working on addition. I can also keep it all addition but only use certain addition facts for certain students.
I am back from a very long blog break! I have found so many great ideas for this new school year on my favorite blogs and Pinterest. I am excited to create new stations for my students!!! I have created 4 ABC literacy stations for the beginning of the year :) :) :)
