I love Heidi from Heidi Songs! She is a true genius when it comes to getting children to learn their sight words. I have been using her videos for about 4 years now with amazing success! My students LOVE her and LOVE the songs she uses to remember each sight word! Check out her website here http://www.heidisongs.com. 

I LOVE LOVE LOVE her secret sight word surprise activity! Perfect for centers! You just need to use a white crayon to write the sight word. Children then use watercolors to reveal the word! This is always a very popular and fun center! Heidi offers these sheets for FREE FREE FREE and them for many holidays.

I love this Abraham Lincoln from A Day in First Grade. I have dreamed about making him! About getting the white paper from the huge roll in our art room. Measuring carefully a full 6 feet 4inches (which is 76 inches or 2 yard sticks long with 4 additional inches). Rolling it up oh so gingerly and bringing it home. Then unrolling it on my kitchen floor as I chase my dog and little ones off of it. I know I can draw him free hand from just this pic! I know I can! So, I am going to do it! I can’t wait to display him outside my classroom door once my firsties measure up against him! I am so excited to see their faces. To see them “get it” with an awesome visual! Thank you A Day in First Grade for the inspiration :)
