It has sure been a while my friends!
Going back to teaching and having two kids at home is a whole different ball game y'all!
I have been creating here and there, but nothing is complete neither ready to put on my store. So hang in there with me! I have been posting some on my instagram page, so if there is something you are interested, send me a message and I will try my best to post the product!
Today, I am super excited to show you what I have been doing since we started centers. The kids really enjoying using the blacklight flashlights!
The product includes English and Spanish instructions for students and a recording sheet. The cards are blank, so you can write your own words with the special markers.
I included the same links on one of the slides of the product, to be more handy.
In order for this center to work, you will need the following items:
I personally love that my students get to walk around the classroom during centers. During this time, they have more freedom and I let them walk around the classroom. Therefore, I place all my cards around my room. The center contains the blank cards, the instructions, and a report sheet where my students write the words they found, on the correct number.
I need to write the words with those special markers, so I write them first and then I laminate the cards. The ink will stay, so no worries about it fading away. Then, let the magic happen!
The kids really do enjoy this center!
I have up to four students in that center. Each student has a flashlight and they walk around my classroom with the report sheet on a clipboard. I asked them not to tell their group partners where the cards are placed. It is not that much fun when you find the words in 5 minutes because your friend already told you where all of them are placed. However, I have witnessed that most of them help each other when some are getting frustrated they can't find the cards (I promise I really don't hide them, but some have a hard time finding them all), so in that case, I let them... just because I see team work and not students who just don't feel like looking for cards around the classroom.
I have created 20 blank cards, but I honestly only use 16 of them. 15 words are part of our weekly word sudy list, and I leave one for a funny phrase for the kids to read. They always look forward for that funny card!
I hope this preview has helped you otday and it has also encourage you to do something similar in your class! I think it is very simple preparation and the kids really enjoy it!
