Hi all! I've had my computer for a couple of years now and to be honest, all I do is compulsively save great ideas that I see on the internet - whether they are pictures I see that I'd like to mimic one day in my own classroom or lesson plan ideas that seem fantastic! However, in my excitement to save these incredible ideas I sometimes forget to save where they're from as well. So here's Part I in my "This is a great idea but I don't know where I found it" series: a
Popcorn Words pdf file (grab it for yourself by clicking the link!). If anyone knows where this is from,
please let me know so I can give credit to the incredible creator!
For a while there, I was teaching a five-year-old how to read and I used this popcorn word template to print out all the high frequency words I thought he should learn and he loved it! I typed Dolch words onto the popcorn templates and printed them out on cardstock. I didn't laminate them, but you certainly could if you wanted them to be more durable. Laminating them would also be a great way to turn this into a literacy center - your students could use dry erase markers to trace the popcorn words! I hope that it will work for you all as well as it worked for me. In addition, if you're looking for a great game to play with popcorn words, check out

on Amazon - it's inexpensive and ADORABLE!
Have a great weekend and Happy Easter to you all!
