Salt drawing sight words.
Students will be given plates with salt. As I say

Modeling of the Concept

Create a sight word tree.
Students will write eight sight words on the
leaves of their trees.
Words should be words that the student needs
extra practice.
Guiding the Practice
Sight word swat
Students will be divided into two groups.
They will have a fly swatter and sight words will
be spread out on the floor.
When the teacher says a sight word the
students will race to swat the word first.
After they swat the word the student must read
the word to the class.
Whoever gets the word first wins a point.
Providing the Independent Practice
In small groups students will play Flip the Egg.
Students will have paper eggs with all the sight
words on them. Then the student will draw a
card from the pile. That student will then read
the word the got and look for the egg with the
sight word on it.
They get will get one chance to find the word. If
they find it they get to keep it. Whoever has the
most at the end wins.
