Word Work

Every morning in my kindergarten class we do word work for about a half an hour. This consists of numerous games working on syllables, spelling out words, matching, etc & even just grabbing a write board and writing sight words and practicing spelling. Today my cooperating teacher had me work with a group of 6 students. They each had a whiteboard and I could make up any word I want and have them try to spell it out and tell me what the word was. I would give each sound at a time and at the end say okay now sound it out. The students loved guessing and learning how to spell new words and it was very successful. Ilene also came into my classroom and played with us a little bit and it was great!
