AVA Classroom

If you are suing Eureka for your first graders, you can use this for small group, follow up activities or early finishers.

This activity is a short vowel e sort. I used this in a first grade classroom for a phonics lesson. I laminated the sorting worksheet and the pictures. Students worked in pairs and sorted the pictures. I made several tables of the same picture in order to make copying and laminating easier. You can definitely change this to work for students to complete independently.

I used this as the summative assessment of a phonics lesson in a first grade classroom. Students were instructed to write "W is for" and write what the letter w can stand for. For example: W is for watermelon. For my emerging writers, I had a sentence starter and they outlined the words, "W is for". Then, they drew a picture of their "w" word.
