This little kit has endless possibilities for you. I am going to use it as an independent reading activity after I read Donavon's Word Jar!!! I love that this kit allows the students to have ownership over what words they think are important all the while learning different ELA focuses. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me :)
Yay! Thanks so much, friend! :) I've blogged about my real, tangible word jar in the past, and I am so excited to use this with it. I am going to have the kiddos use the paper jar as a brainstorm of fab words... and then add their best words to the classroom jar! Thanks for sharing!
Can't wait to use this. In addition to the word jar, I'm going to have the students draw pictures of what they did over the summer so they can "preserve" their summer memories!

Did you ever find the plastic jars at the Dollar Store? I've looked and can't find them anywhere!
