You've Got Mail: A Free Valentine Themed Sight Word Center

Can it get any colder?

I live in the south.  Temps in January can normally get a bit chilly, but oh my word . . . this is getting ridiculous.  So ridiculous that I decided to take a couple of personal days and tag along with my sweet husband on his business trip to New Orleans.  

I thought surely New Orleans would be a little warmer.  Wrong.  But at least I get to go to some fabulous restaurants and do some fun people watching while I'm shivering.

It's hard for me to believe February is almost here.  Although February may be just as yuck weather wise, there are plenty of special days to brighten up class goings on.  Groundhog Day, Valentine's Day, and Presidents Day are all great jumping off points for lots of learning.

One activity I'll be using in February is my sight word center You've Got Mail.  Students have to crack the secret code and match it to the correct sight word.  After matching all the cards, the students will complete the recording sheet.

I snagged these mailboxes at Target's dollar section and plan on using them with the center.  They are certainly not necessary for the center's set up, but I think they will be a cute addition.

You've Got Mail is one of the centers in my Classroom Cupids {10 Literacy Centers for February} packet.  Classroom Cupids includes work with vowel discrimination, sentence sorting, plural nouns, initial digraphs, syllables, contractions, rhyming words, and more.  Activities that are sure to keep your students' skills sharp as the year progresses.

I guess that's it for now.  I hope you and your students enjoy the center freebie.

Stay warm.
