Back to School Blog Hunt: Thematic Word Work Cards

I reallllllly can't believe its back to school time already! I am totally in denial. I met my new class on Friday and we start on Monday---ahhh!! This weekend I didn't make anything too cutesy to decorate my room with, but I did make some more word cards for you all!!
I am excited to use some of the daily 5 in my room this year. I set up the word work station already. I put play-doh, magnetic letters, white boards, chalk boards, pom-poms, pipe cleaners, etc. all in the center for students to use to spell words with. I also added a couple of these sight word cards and fun word cards to the center. I cut the cards apart on the lines and added them onto a binder ring. I figured that even if the students can't read all of the words, or any of the words, they can still start copying the words in the word work center and start getting familiar with them.


Then, when I was setting up my writing center I realized that I wanted these words there as well! We need 'interactive' bulletin boards this year, so I am going to have a hook on the board and hang these cards on the hook from the binder ring. Students can grab the cards that they need when they are writing stories, cards, etc. 
I thought it would be a good idea to add new cards to the center as the year progresses. For September I have 'back to school' words and 'apple' words. 
I will add new cards every month :) You can click on any of the pictures in this post to grab yours!  :)
Enjoy!! and have a GREAT school year!!
