I Like Fall! Emergent Reader Book

My oldest daughter, Dandie, doesn't have school on Fridays, so I was hoping to sleep in this morning. Hoping. Yup, didn't happen. As usual, the girls were up at the crack of dawn. 5:43 a.m. to be exact. Sigh.

And what does Dandie want to do on her day off from school? School. And not play school, either. I know I should be overjoyed by that, but I honestly did not have anything prepared for homeschool this morning. So I fed the girls breakfast, made my coffee, and finished up an emergent reader book I started last night while I ate my breakfast. This book is about fall (since Daisie has been working on the letter f this week), and uses the sight words I, like, see, the (sight words both girls are learning right now).

Sight Words: I, like, and, the, see

At the beginning of the school year, Rachel's kindergarten teacher sent out a list of sight words they would be focusing on each quarter. Yay! Something I could work with her at home! The first quarter's sight words are I, like, and, the, see. After an unsuccessful search of the web and Pinterest for some activities for these specific sight words, I decided to make a few worksheets of my own.

The first one is a cookie sheet (or refrigerator, or whatever kitchen appliance you can stick magnets to!) activity. Secure the worksheet to your magnetic surface using either magnets or tape. Poster putty works well, too. Have your child search through your stash of alphabet magnets to find the letters that spell each word.
