Literacy Work Stations and Valentine's Day Preview

Here are the literacy work stations we have been doing lately:
 
SYLLABLE SORTING

Students are practicing their syllable skills...wearing 'clapping gloves'.
The gloves make the activity FUN, and keeps the clapping quiet :) 
They take turns drawing a card, clapping the word together as a group, then putting it on the correct syllable mat.
Because the cards don't have words for them to copy, students are choosing one picture per category & drawing it in the corresponding box.
 
 
 
LISTENING CENTRE
 
We are currently doing The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats.
They listen to the story, then fill in a student response form:
 
 
 
WINTER WRITE THE ROOM
 
I 'hid' winter words around the classroom, numbered from 1-10.
 When they find a word, they print it beside the corresponding number.

 
 
VALENTINE'S DAY PREVIEW
 
I am so looking forward to the first week of February! My students are going to LOVE {get it?} all of the Valentine's Day activities we'll be doing!!!

That syllable counting station looks adorable. I love the glove idea! Is this an activity that you have available somewhere? I would love to use it in my clasroom.

:) Catherine, I thought the same thing...perhaps she's tired of the story at this point!
