Pete the Cat!

This is my first year doing Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes by Eric Litwin with my class...and I am SOOO EXCITED!

We are doing {this} unit on color words, which is a great supplement to the story.

Here are some activities from the pack as well as some freebies found on the web...score!

PETE THE CAT PLAYDOH CENTER

I LOOOVE this activity! I just wish that I had the letter stampers from Lakeshore. Definitely buying them with next year's budget, it's number one on my list!

Students read, stamp, and mold the sight words with Play-Doh.

The activity is from Christie at First Grade Fever {here}.

Thanks for sharing Christie!

LETTER, WORD, OR SENTENCE? SORT

Students sort if it is a letter, a word, or a sentence & fill out the form.

This fun pocket chart activity is from Heather at Heather's First Grade Heart {here}.

Thanks, Heather!

LISTENING CENTER

They were singing Pete's song all. day. long...and so was I :)

SIGHT WORD READERS

Students each received a booklet that allows them extra practice in reading color words. They color in the pictures, and trace the color words.

As my students read the booklet to me {one-on-one}, I can easily assess the words they know by using this form:

BUILDING COLOR WORDS        

Students sorted the color word pieces by color, then arranged the words on the pocket chart.

Then they filled in their worksheet, using the pocket chart words as a guide.
