Today was day 2 of our Seuss celebrations!
Today we were supposed to wear red for Thing 1 & Thing 2. I was out yesterday on wear hat for Cat in the Hat Day with a sick kiddo so... I had to wear my Seuss pants today!
So I thought I would share a literacy station idea that I used today and a math station idea that I am planning on using tomorrow.
Scrambled Eggs & Ham
In honor of Green Eggs and Ham I introduced Scrambled Eggs at my popcorn word station. This is also a great activity for Easter time.
What you need:
A spelling paper numbered 1-12
12 plastic easter eggs
letter tiles
Basket for eggs or an empty carton
1. label each egg 1-12 with a black sharpie
2. pick out 12 popcorn words
3. put the letter tiles for each word into an egg.
(one word per egg)
4. close the egg and put it in the basket.
How to Play:
The first time that we do this activity I do it together as a group.
The first student reaches in and grabs and egg. Opens it up and dumps out the letter tiles. That student tries to unscramble the world.
First we determine how many letters the word has. (I give clues if needed...it has 3 letters and starts with a "w"). Once the student unscrambles the word they look at the number on the egg and then write the word next to the corresponding number.
*This is where I stress the importance of putting all of the letter tiles back into the egg and making sure its closed.
The next person gets a chance. They pull out an egg and then follow the same steps.
Although some students may need assistance they can eventually do this activity independently.
