Word Work

I have several different choices for our Word Work rotation.

They must do either Cube Roll or Trace and Write.

Then they may choose either Word Family sheet (I actually have three different sheets that I rotate)
Another is Making Words. I choose a theme related word and the children get letters and fill out some paperwork.

I created cards to hang in a mini pocket chart. That way I can rotate their options.

After they complete their "must do" choices, they can choose from the other choices:
*bottle caps
*magnetic letters
*stamps
After they create the words, I have them take a photo.

Their choices for the week are the Star Words or words from our word family.

That is a great idea and motivator and self checker! i love it! Do you use it often? do you print them later?

The camera is always available for student work. I don't print them- but certainly could :) I just save them and sometimes upload them to the blog.
