Word Work Wednesday

I know some of you have already had Spring Break (lucky) but I'm counting down the days over here!  We all have a bad case of spring fever.  In honor of spring, here's a little buggy word work for you.  There is a sorting sheet and cards for each vowel.  The kids draw cards and add a dot to the ladybug that has the same sound as their word.  It can also be played as a game.  Have partners choose a bug and take turns drawing cards.  If the word matches their bug they can put a dot on and see who had the most dots to win.  You can use lots of things for the dots.  I like to use flat glass beads and I always keep a tub of them on hand for markers.  Gotta love the Dollar Tree!  Of course if it's a really buggy day I will break out the chocolate chips (that I might or might not take a handful of).  Sometimes you just need some chocolate.  Can I get an amen?  Click the pic to download the whole set.  Happy Spring!
