Sight word help

If any of you have a kindergartner in your mist than you are having to quiz them on sight words.  My little girl is smart but she gets bored with just quizzing her on them and then she guesses - wrong usually.  So I went to the Internet for inspiration.  I found a color by sight word on a website and I thought that would be perfect because she loves to color.  The problem was you had to buy it and I am too cheap to buy it when I can make one myself.  (Is anyone else like that?)  So I have created these two sheets - one with a color by sight word and the other page is a sight word graph.  They color the butterfly according to the sight word color chart and they count how many times the sight word is in the box and graph it by coloring in the boxes. 

My husband said that it was awesome and that I needed to share it so here I am. ;)  who better to share it with than my blog readers.  Hope you enjoy it and you can inspire your child to practice their sight words too.

Halloween Wreath!

I am loving the fact that Halloween is just around the corner.  I have to say that this is my favorite holiday to decorate for.  I have always been the kind of person who would love to watch scary movies and scare myself silly.  One of my memories as a child is my twin sister hiding under my bed and waiting till I came to go to bed.  She would then grab my ankles and I would scream like a little girl and we would laugh like crazy.  I loved to follow her up the stairs because she hated to leave the basement with the dark behind her.  It makes her run faster when you would hit the stairs next to her feet.  To this day, her kids say that she runs upstairs.

To the craft portion of this post ;) - I had some extra grapevine around and decided to make a halloween wreath with it.  So I made a circle wreath using the grapevine and then found some halloween colors of ribbon and tulle and added those to the wreath.  Then I had this darling little frame that I found in the $1 bins at Target (gotta love those bins) and added a Trick or Treat sticker to it.  Then just hot glued the frame to the wreath and Voila!  The Halloween wreath is born!   Hope you enjoy the craft and enjoy your frights as much as I do.
