Here are the stations my students will be working on until March Break
{8 days from now, but who's counting?!?}

WORD WORK
Students are 'texting' their sight words on iPhones, 'typing' words onto iPads, and arranging their iPod playlists in alphabetical order.
See here for my previous post about this low-tech, faux-tech fun & the downloads!
CAT'S ABC ORDER
*freebie*
Note: I have added to this freebie pack!
16 word families are now included {as of Feb. 2013}
This month we are reading Dr. Seuss stories. They are great springboards for introducing rhyme and word families.
I created this activity to reinforce word families {rhyme} as well as alphabetical order.
Each card has four words on it, all from one word family. Students draw a card, then print the words in alphabetical order onto their sheet.
I provided a simple alphabet strip for those who needed a visual aid.
*NOTE: This pack has been updated!
I have added MORE to the Cat's ABC Order set and have made it a FREEBIE PACK!
It now includes 16 word families!
You can download the entire pack {here} for FREE :)
ALPHABET GEOBOARDS
At this station, students choose a letter template and try to replicate it using geoboards and elastic bands.
The geoboard letter cards can be found here.
LISTENING CENTRE
I had never heard of Tacky the Penguin until reading about him on various blogs. Our local library had the book & CD kit available, so that made it a great centre!
The student book response form is from Mrs. Jump.
SIGHT WORD BOOK
The sight word booklet is called Places We Go.
I am using this book to introduce the new sight words go and to.
It is available from Hubbard's Cupboard.
I love how this booklet adds new words to the previously learned sight words. The students are really reading now!
See my post here that describes a typical small-group lesson.

Just found your blog. My kids love using the IPads during spelling! I'll have to try the iPods and iPhones too.

Hi!! I am your newest follower! I love the idea of texting the students sight words. I bet they LOVE doing that. When you have a chance, come over and check out my blog. I teach kindergarten too.

Thanks so much for the great ideas! Keep 'em comin'! :)
Oh my gosh, where have you been?! Or should I say, "Where have I been?" What a great blog you have! Thanks for all the ideas! I especially like the faux technology!
Just wanted to say thanks for this post, I've added it to my writing area. It's allowed my special needs children to access some independent activities.
Even though I'm a high school math teacher I think this is really cool. Keep up the good work!
Wow... this is really cool! Love your ideas.
i am going to be a first year kinder teacher and i have been searching for ideas and i abs. love your ideas.
I am a teacher educator and I am going to spread your wealth of ideas to all my teacher candidates. Thank you for posting! I love the idea of 'getting kids ready' for new technologies even if the district does not supply them to the classrooms.
Do you have blank templates of the technology? LOVE this idea for my middle school special ed. students- they'll especially love it because the area I teach in Hawaii is very low income...most students don't have cell phones, computers, etc. Thanks!
Omg, I LOVE the tech activities! So cute!
Where can I find your adorable iPods?
Ashley- click on where it says "See here for previous post..." and it will lead you to a former post about the iPods. On that post, click on "Teacher Tipster", as it is from his site.
You are brilliant
